Ripple and @Bitso are expanding their long-standing payments partnership.

Bitso’s regulated MXN-backed stablecoin, MXNB, will be issued on XRPL and integrated into Ripple’s Payments on DEX infrastructure, supporting enterprise stablecoin settlement across Latin America.

Together, RLUSD and MXNB bring regulated USD and MXN liquidity to XRPL's Permissioned DEX, helping enable real-world enterprise payment flows.

The demand for modern, always-on settlement infrastructure continues to grow.

@Mastercard’s support for $RLUSD and the XRP Ledger reflects growing demand for trusted digital assets and blockchain infrastructure that can power faster, more flexible settlement.

$RLUSD is now available in Türkiye through three new partners: @BiLira_Kripto, @Bitexencom and @Bitlocom: https://t.co/85syhW1P3m

This is the latest step in a global expansion that has taken RLUSD from launch to a $1.7bn+ market cap in under a year.

The demand for regulated, enterprise-grade stablecoins is global. RLUSD is meeting it.

[Financial Services GOP @FinancialCmte]

The House passed the CLARITY Act because America cannot afford to lead the world in innovation while lagging behind in rules. It delivers clear market structure, stronger consumer protections, and certainty for innovators — all while keeping jobs and investment here at home. Now it’s time to finish the job.

[Senator Cynthia Lummis @SenLummis]

Every month without a clear framework is another month where American investors are exposed and American innovators are left guessing. I didn’t spend years writing the Clarity Act to watch us keep kicking the can down the road.

日本国債の「恐怖指数」が急上昇し市場は国債相場の波乱を強く警戒している。日本は先進国最大の政府債務を抱える一方、欧米より低いインフレ率にもかかわらず、物価高対策として補正予算を検討。円安の定着も重なり株高の裏側では円そのものへの信認低下が進み始めている。https://t.co/IEEKnCkhJl

The US has long set the gold standard for financial markets, but strong markets require strong international harmonization.

By working alongside foreign regulators to reduce barriers and uphold market integrity, markets can continue to thrive and innovate across borders.

[Eleanor Terrett @EleanorTerrett]

This means the Clarity Act will now be competing for floor time in June with reconciliation, FISA, as well as the housing bill that passed the House this week.

The reality of whether the Senate can get two major pieces of legislation done amid time constraints and competing priorities is beginning to set in, and the question of whether one will inevitably slip into July is now being asked.

There are four working weeks in June and just three in July before the August recess.

[Mike Selig @ChairmanSelig]

During the years of debanking, regulation by enforcement, and prosecution of software developers under the prior administration, @HesterPeirce gave innovators, builders, and entrepreneurs hope for a better future in America through dozens of thoughtful and articulate dissents and speeches.

Her tireless work leading the @SECGov Crypto Task Force over the past year and a half established a new foundation of clear rules and safeguards for innovators in the US.

America would not be the crypto capital of the world today if not for her leadership.

[Senator Cynthia Lummis @SenLummis]

Thank you, Governor Waller, for working on payment accounts. Encouraged by the proposal overall, and thank you for making commonsense changes to the proposal in response to stakeholder feedback.

[Eleanor Terrett @EleanorTerrett]

🚨JUST IN: The @federalreserve has issued a request for comment and notices of proposed rulemaking for payment accounts, also known as the “skinny master accounts” that would allow eligible fintech and crypto firms to gain access to the Fed’s payments system for clearing and settlement purposes.

It marks the next formal step in Governor Waller’s payment account implementation process, following the public comment period on the proposal itself that closed in February.

Notably, the Fed is also encouraging Federal Reserve Banks to temporarily pause decisions on new “Tier 3” master account access requests until no later than December 2026 (most crypto firms are considered Tier 3) while it finalizes the framework, in an effort, it says, to create more consistency across the system.

[Rob Cunningham @KuwlShow]

The Trump administration expects a high probability of THE CLARITY ACT passing, so it is using existing executive authority NOW to prepare agencies, reduce lag, and make The 2026 Clarity Act implementation nearly immediate once legislation arrives on his desk.

This is a recognizable and prudent governing pattern across administrations of both parties.

Clarity | Freedom | Interoperability
