We're proud to announce that Ripple USD ($RLUSD) is now officially available in Japan, following approval from the Japan Financial Services Agency (JFSA): https://t.co/ChkYMQ6kxW

Through our partnership with SBI Group and @sbivc_official, $RLUSD will be accessible to both institutional and retail users via the VCTRADE platform, serving as a bridge for payments, tokenization, and collateral management.

With $1.7 billion in market cap and a 10-year relationship with SBI, this is a significant milestone in advancing regulated stablecoin adoption across Asia.

[CoinDesk @CoinDesk]

NEW: Japan now has a two-tier stablecoin system.

@sbivc_official lists $RLUSD for retail dollar settlements (capped at 1M yen per transaction) while SBI Holdings' $JPYSC handles unlimited yen-denominated corporate settlements, both launch today.

[Digital Asset Investor @digitalassetbuy]

For years they told the XRP Community they were stupid and were being scammed but we saw what the adults @ripple were doing while everyone chased cartoon monkeys, scam ICOs and the next big XRP killer. We stayed focused because we could see that Ripple had plans within plans. It's fun watching it all finally roll out. BTW way the banks WILL use XRP. We've been right about everything.

SWEET JESUS MOTHER MARY OF BETHLEHEM! 🤯

I just connected the dots.

Lord Belgrave’s Prophecy EXPLODES into Reality: ‘Ripple’s MiCA License Isn’t a Permit— It’s the BLOODY TAKEOVER! 😳

[Tom @Tom0nChain]

🌐 #HTTP the standard for moving information across the internet… was donated to consortium called #W3C

Guess what else was donated to the #W3C? 😳

The #InterledgerProtocol – the standard for moving value, developed by @Ripple

Because the #ILP doesn't have its own native token, it relies on bridge assets to settle the actual value crossing these different networks. The #XRPL’s native asset - $XRP is used as the highly efficient bridge asset to instantly settle cross-border liquidity in conjunction with the #ILP

Not only did @Ripple donate the #ILP…
They now co-chair the #W3C Web Payments Working Group (writing the rules for how value moves across the globe)

$XRP is a universal payment layer that connects directly to #HTTP – meaning it can be used by every browser on earth the same way #HTTP can.

Now connect the dots… 🧩

@Ripple is in HIGH-Level working groups, designing the future of value transfer for:

✅ @BIS_org (Project Agora)
✅ IMF (High-Level Advisory Group on Fintech)
✅ @federalreserve (Faster Payments Council)
✅ W3C (Web Payments Working Group)
✅ @The_DTCC (Tokenisation Working Group)

How can you NOT see what’s happening here…??

$XRP is being positioned as the next GLOBALLY used protocol – similar to what #HTTPS did for information, but for value transfer…

Men, at some point, you have to grow up.

Put down the endless video games. Stop obsessing over toys, collectibles, and entertainment. The world doesn't need more 27-year-old boys. It needs men of character, conviction, and responsibility.

Open your Bible. Pursue Christ. Lead your family. Serve your church. Build something that outlives you.

The time for childish things is running out.

🚨 EVERYTHING THAT COULD GO WRONG FOR MARKETS WENT WRONG TODAY.

S&P 500 down -1.65%, wiping out $1.14 trillion.
Nasdaq down -2.60%, wiping out $1.11 trillion.
Gold down -3.38%, wiping out $1 trillion.
Silver down -6.9%, wiping out $280 billion.
Bitcoin down -6.31%, wiping out $80 billion.

In total $2.5 TRILLION wiped out in a single session. These were not isolated moves. Everything started breaking at the same time.

It started with the jobs report this morning.

The US economy added 172,000 jobs in May. Wall Street expected 88,000. That is almost double.

On any normal day, strong jobs is good news. But inflation is already at 3.8% and oil is sitting at $90. A labor market this strong tells the Fed it cannot cut interest rates and may actually need to raise them.

The probability of a rate hike this year went from 40% to 57% in a single day. That spooked every investor holding tech and growth stocks because higher rates mean those stocks are worth less today.

Then the AI trade started cracking.

Yesterday Broadcom reported record earnings: revenue up 48%, AI chip sales up 143% and the stock still crashed 12.6%. The reason was simple.

Broadcom did not raise its AI revenue targets for the year. Investors had expected it to. That single miss made people ask a question they had been avoiding for months: are we paying too much for AI stocks?

That question got louder today when a research firm called SemiAnalysis revealed that Nvidia's next-generation AI chips will need significantly less memory than everyone assumed, roughly half of what the market was pricing in.

Memory chips are what companies like SK Hynix and Samsung make. SK Hynix fell nearly 10% today. Samsung fell over 6%.

South Korea's entire stock market crashed 5.5% in a single session. Japan's semiconductor stocks did the same.

And then Anthropic added fuel to the fire by publishing a report warning that AI is getting close to the point where it can improve itself without human help and calling for a global pause in AI development.

Coming on the same day as the memory demand news and Broadcom's miss, it fed a single growing fear across the market: what if the AI boom is moving faster than the business models can keep up with?

Underneath all of this, there is a liquidity problem nobody is talking about.

SpaceX goes public next week at a $1.75 trillion valuation. Anthropic just filed to go public. OpenAI is next.

These three companies together are worth $4 to $5 trillion. Fund managers need cash to buy into these listings.

But cash levels are already at their lowest since early 2024. The only way to raise cash is to sell what they already own. That selling is happening right now.

The new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh will also hold his very first policy meeting in 11 days. He was appointed by Trump with the expectation of cutting rates.

He is now walking into a situation where inflation is high, oil is high, and the job market is running hot. Investors do not know what he will do.

When nobody knows what the most powerful central banker in the world will decide in less than two weeks, the safest move is to reduce risk today.

Everything that could go wrong, went wrong at the same time. A hot jobs report, a collapsing ceasefire, a crack in the AI trade, a trillion dollar liquidity drain, and a Fed meeting with no clear outcome.

Bro, let’s stop pretending.

Muslims make up about 25% of the entire world’s population — over 2 billion people across 50+ countries.

Japanese people? About 1.4% of the world. One single country.

Shinto exists only in Japan.

So when people say “Japan should prioritize minorities and be more accommodating to Islam,” who exactly are we talking about?

The global majority is coming to one of the world’s smallest ethnic and religious groups and demanding that Japan change its culture, food, and traditions for them.

That’s not “protecting minorities.” That’s the majority trying to colonize a tiny minority.

Japan has every right to protect its own people and culture first.

If Muslims want to live under Islamic rules, they already have dozens of countries where they can do that. They don’t need to come to Japan and turn it into another one.

暗号資産市場が全体的に下落しているが、その理由は、今後米国で次々と予定されているSpaceX社、Anthropic社、OpenAI社の三大IPOの株式取得のために機関投資家等が資金作りを行っているためだと考えられる。
ファンダメンタル的には何ら懸念されることはなく、特に米国でクラリティ法が成立すれば、Ripple社を含め暗号資産市場に好影響をもたらすことになると確信している。

Grown men 20-30 are going to a 9-5 , not doing any sort of meaningful work

Then getting home to play video games with friends

Its what they look forward to all day

Eating garbage . Mid exercise if any .

Zero goals . Zero vision for literally anything .

What kind of fucking life is that

[Bird @Bird_XRPL]

Most people won’t realise how big this is yet.

The world’s largest derivatives marketplace, CME Group, has officially moved crypto futures and options trading to 24/7 access, and honestly, this feels like one of the most important structural shifts we’ve seen in years.

One of the most frustrating things about crypto over the last few years has been the disconnect between a 24/7 asset class and financial infrastructure that still operated like it was Windows 1998.

Crypto trades all weekend. News breaks all weekend. Liquidity moves all weekend. Entire narratives can form in 48 hours while traditional futures markets sit closed waiting for Monday morning.

That’s why people became obsessed with “CME gaps” in the first place. The market would move over the weekend, futures would reopen later, and traders would spend half their lives waiting for gaps to fill instead of pure uninterrupted price discovery. You’d constantly get situations where momentum on the weekend almost felt suppressed because traders expected the market to revisit unfinished CME pricing.

Now we’re moving toward removing that disconnect completely.

And that matters far more than most people understand.

Because this isn’t just about giving traders more hours. This is traditional finance slowly rebuilding itself around the architecture crypto introduced first > always online markets, instant settlement, tokenisation, continuous liquidity and real time global participation.

The old financial world closed on weekends.

The new one doesn’t.

And what’s really interesting is that Ripple Prime was directly mentioned in the announcement as infrastructure supporting these always on digital asset markets.

That’s a massive signal in itself.

This is incredibly bullish for Ripple and, by extension, bullish for XRP and the XRPL ecosystem as a whole, because Ripple is positioning itself directly inside the plumbing of institutional digital asset markets instead of sitting on the sidelines watching it happen.

That’s the key thing most people miss.

The real winners of this cycle probably won’t just be the assets people speculate on. It’ll be the infrastructure providers powering the movement of liquidity, collateral, settlement and access between institutions operating in a 24/7 financial world. Aka UTILITY.

And that’s exactly where Ripple keeps placing itself.

The XRPL was literally designed around fast settlement, liquidity efficiency and moving value globally in seconds. Now the financial world is slowly evolving toward systems that actually require those capabilities to function efficiently at scale.

Institutions don’t want fragmented systems anymore. They want 24/7 access, continuous liquidity, instant collateral movement and infrastructure that can operate globally without stopping every Friday evening.

This is why I keep saying most people are too focused on candles and not focused enough on infrastructure.

Price is temporary.

Infrastructure is what changes the world.

It’s happening.

[David 'JoelKatz' Schwartz @JoelKatz]

14 years ago, we got together with an idea to build a better way to move value. What happened next was something none of us could have built alone.

And by "us," I don't just mean the three of us.

I mean the developers, validators, businesses, community members, and everyone who helped shape XRP into what it is today.

Happy Birthday, XRP!

[Jake Claver, QFOP @beyond_broke]
