Great to be back at the White House today alongside @realDonaldTrump, @SECPaulSAtkins, @ChairmanSelig and leaders across the crypto industry.

The big picture has never been clearer: 67 million Americans hold crypto today (that’s nearly 1 in 4!). Crypto isn't a fringe industry. And Washington DC knows the crypto voter is alive and well.

This President's incredible commitment to innovation and leadership around digital assets in the US has been profound. The future is bright.

Yesterday, I celebrated 11 years at Ripple. Back then, I couldn’t have predicted that we’d still be fighting for regulatory clarity.

The fight has been worth it. After a day in DC having great conversations with @SenatorHagerty, @berniemoreno, @SenatorTimScott, @JohnBoozman and @patrickjwitt - and on stage at @Semafor World Economic Summit - I know we are closer than ever.

The CLARITY Act window is open. And now is our moment to act.

@Nexo Nexo left U.S. clients to languish for three years. People would be foolish to fully restore trust in Nexo again, after they showed such little concern for Americans.

@Moonchaser2020 @Fame21Moore One of the greats, he aided in illuminating many minds about crypto including my own. He will be missed.

@NFAdotcrypto @TrinityRavenel Da bears play the rams tomorrow in the playoffs. The last time the bears saw the rams in the playoffs was in 1985. Just providing a lead, perhaps there’s more.

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

HUGE news! @Ripple just received conditional approval from the @USOCC to charter Ripple National Trust Bank. This is a massive step forward - first for $RLUSD, setting the highest standard for stablecoin compliance with both federal (OCC) & state (NYDFS) oversight.

To the banking lobbyists – your anti-competitive tactics are transparent. You’ve complained that crypto isn’t playing by the same rules, but here’s the crypto industry – directly under the OCC's supervision and standards – prioritizing compliance, trust and innovation to the benefit of consumers. What are you so afraid of?

🔥 WHAT DAVID SCHWARTZ IMPLIED 👇

When David Schwartz says
“There is no benefit to the price of XRP remaining low”
he is speaking from a settlement engineering perspective, not a speculative one.

Low price means low liquidity density.
Low liquidity density means the asset cannot efficiently support high value, low velocity global settlement, which is the core design of XRPL.

1. Liquidity density scales with price
A settlement asset must move large value with minimal unit movement.
At one dollar, moving fifty million requires fifty million units.
At ten thousand dollars, it requires five thousand units.
Fewer units means lower slippage, lower spreads, lower liquidity strain, and faster corridor balancing.

2. XRP’s architecture favors high value per unit
The XRPL is built for:
• deterministic monetary policy
• fixed supply
• no mining issuance
• institutional grade finality
• cross asset bridging
In systems like this, value concentration improves throughput and stability.
It is the same principle behind SDRs, gold, and high tier settlement assets.

3. Global settlement requires high value units
Global FX settles over seven trillion dollars per day.
Tokenized treasuries will exceed thirty trillion.
CBDCs and corporate flows add trillions more.
Even a small share routed through XRPL demands an asset that can represent large value per token to prevent liquidity fragmentation.

4. High price reduces relative volatility
As the unit value grows, volatility as a percentage of liquidity drops.
This makes XRP more suitable for banking grade settlement, where predictability matters more than speed alone.

The conclusion is simple.
The XRPL functions more efficiently at high XRP valuations than at low ones.
A ten thousand dollar XRP is not a fantasy target.
It is the liquidity state that best fits the scale of global settlement systems.
