π¨ MAJOR: XRP is disappearing from exchanges
Recent data shows $XRP leaving exchanges at an accelerated pace, even after the asset declined roughly 20% from its recent highs
π Exchange outflows continue exceeding 1M $XRP
π Whale activity has been accelerating near key support levels
π XRP remains the most traded asset on Upbit
π Japanese public company Remix Point now holds over 1.1M XRP on its balance sheet
When assets leave exchanges, they are often moving into cold storage, custody solutions, treasury reserves, or long-term holdings rather than remaining available for immediate sale
While attention remains focused on price action, corporations continue adding digital assets to their balance sheets, tokenized assets on the XRPL continue growing, and institutional interest in payments, settlement, and real-world assets remains strong. Supply, liquidity, and adoption often reveal a much bigger story than price alone.

π¨ From PayPal to Chief Product Officer at Uphold
@PaulWavelength has spent years building products at the forefront of crypto. After helping bring crypto to one of the world's largest payment platforms, he now leads product strategy at @UpholdInc, where he's focused on building products that move digital assets beyond speculation and into everyday financial use.
We discuss his journey from PayPal to Uphold, the evolution of crypto infrastructure, XRP's growing role in digital finance, and what it will take to bring the next billion users onchain.
π¨ Where Crypto Is Actually Headed
I asked @PaulWavelength, Chief Product Officer at @UpholdInc, for his thoughts on where the market is heading, what's next for XRP and digital assets, and how the Clarity Act could reshape the industry.
We also covered XLS-65 and XLS-66, tokenization, onchain yield, and the products that could drive the next wave of adoption π
π¨ Treasury just moved GENIUS Act implementation forward
U.S. Treasury proposed new rules defining who can issue payment stablecoins and which entities must comply with the GENIUS Act.
π Proposal sets core federal definitions for stablecoin issuers
π Payment stablecoins are being treated as payment and settlement instruments
π Foreign issuers will face specific compliance questions
π Public comments are open for 60 days before Treasury moves toward a final rule
This is where the GENIUS Act starts becoming operational. Stablecoin companies now need to plan around the actual regulatory definitions, compliance scope and cross-border treatment that will govern how they can issue and distribute dollar-backed tokens in the U.S.
CLARITY could still affect parts of the stablecoin framework, especially around rewards, so Treasury rulemaking and congressional negotiations are now developing at the same time.

π¨ SOL AND XRP ETF FLOWS STAYED POSITIVE
@SoSoValue data for the week ending August 14 shows $BTC and $ETH recorded net outflows while $SOL and $XRP remained positive.
π $BTC: -$389.71M
π $ETH: -$2.26M
π $SOL: +$10.26M
π $XRP: +$2.25M
$SOL and $XRP inflows are still small compared with Bitcoin ETF flows, but the divergence is worth paying attention to. Both stayed positive during a week when the two largest crypto ETF markets lost capital.
If this continues, it could show investors are starting to spread ETF exposure across a wider group of crypto assets instead of concentrating only on $BTC and $ETH.

π¨ CLARITY COULD HIT A DECIDING MOMENT IN SEPTEMBER
New comments around the bill show the fight is narrowing around floor timing, stablecoin yield, ethics rules and whether regulators move first if Congress stalls.
π John Thune filing keeps a September procedural vote alive
π Citi CEO Jane Fraser says the bank still wants a good CLARITY bill to pass
π SEC and CFTC are signaling they are ready to act if legislation stalls
π White House pressure and unresolved stablecoin yield rules remain key variables
September matters because Congress and regulators are now on parallel tracks. If the Senate moves CLARITY, market structure gets a legislative path. If it stalls again, SEC and CFTC rulemaking could start filling parts of the gap instead.
@Citi support is also important because the bank is still asking for changes while backing the broader bill. That suggests the argument has shifted toward the final terms of regulation rather than whether a market structure framework should exist at all.

π¨ Ripple Treasury now reaches 1,200 corporate treasurers
@Ripple is building around a much bigger use case for $XRP and $RLUSD: moving corporate liquidity, cross-border payments and tokenized assets through infrastructure that can operate 24/7.
π Ripple Treasury serves roughly 1,200 corporate CFOs and treasurers
π $RLUSD can help free capital locked up nights and weekends
π XRP remains positioned as a bridge asset for cross-border liquidity
π Tokenization could eventually move hundreds of trillions in traditional assets onchain
Corporate treasury is where this gets interesting. A company holding billions across different accounts can gain more value from instant settlement and 24/7 liquidity than from simply moving money a few seconds faster.
At the same time, XRP is being discussed across payments, tokenized markets and interoperability between currencies and digital assets. Long-term upside depends on XRPL capturing real transaction and liquidity flows, not on speculative $200 or $400 price models alone.

π¨ TOKENIZED STOCK HOLDERS SURGED TO 1.3 MILLION
@RWA_xyz data reported by @Cointelegraph shows tokenized equities reached 1.31M holders over the past month as activity across onchain stocks expanded rapidly.
π Monthly transfer volume jumped nearly 180% to $23.13B
π Active addresses climbed nearly 35% to 572K
π Distributed value reached $2.38B
π Ondo led the market, followed by Kraken xStocks and Binance bStocks
Growth in holders and transfer activity matters more than tokenized market value alone. People are increasingly using blockchain rails to access and move traditional equity exposure rather than tokenization remaining an institutional experiment.
Stocks are only one part of the shift. Treasuries, funds, credit and other traditional assets are also moving onchain, creating a much larger market for tokenization and settlement infrastructure.

π¨ A $500 TRILLION ONCHAIN MARKET IS NOW BEING DISCUSSED
Analysts and major digital asset firms are pointing to hundreds of trillions in traditional assets that could eventually move onto blockchain rails.
π Bitwise says DeFi is targeting a much larger market than todayβs crypto market
π Securitize points to roughly $400T across traditional financial markets
π Canary says pension funds and insurance companies are showing interest in XRP investment products
π $XRP is also being discussed as a neutral settlement bridge for currencies, stablecoins and tokenized assets
Only a tiny fraction of global equities, bonds, real estate and other financial assets are onchain today. Even a small shift toward tokenized markets would dramatically expand demand for settlement, liquidity and collateral infrastructure.
For $XRP, the bigger opportunity comes down to whether XRPL can capture meaningful activity across tokenization, institutional settlement and machine-to-machine payments as those markets move onchain.

π΄ LIVE: CLARITY ACT BREAKTHROUGH, CITI CEO BACKS BILL, THUNE FILES CLOTURE & WHITE HOUSE MEETING
Breaking down the latest CLARITY Act developments, Citi CEO support, John Thune filing cloture, what the White House meeting could change, and what still needs to happen before the bill can move through the Senate.

Weβll see you there π
π‘ XRP in 2026 looks nothing like XRP in 2022.
$50M β $5B on XRPL in 18 months. Stablecoin markets heading toward $100T. Machine-to-machine agentic payments. Tokenized funds. ETF access expanding.
Each use case is multi-trillion. XRPL is positioned inside all of them.
#XRP #Crypto #Ripple
π‘ 70M Americans own crypto today. That number could hit 100M in 24 months.
That's 1 in 3 Americans β nearly half the voting bloc.
Democrats can't hold an anti-crypto position forever. It cost them in 2024. The base has shifted.

π¨ RIPPLE IS BUILDING A FEDERAL BANKING PATH
@Ripple already holds preliminary OCC approval for Ripple National Trust Bank, giving the company a potential federal structure for custody, fiduciary services and $RLUSD reserve management.
π Final OCC authorization is still required before the bank can operate
π $RLUSD issuance would remain with Standard Custody & Trust Company
π Proposed bank would add federal oversight around reserves and institutional custody
π Trump is also weighing a capital gains tax cut that could affect long-term crypto holders
For Ripple, the bigger shift is access to regulated financial infrastructure. A federally supervised trust bank could make $RLUSD easier for banks and institutions to evaluate for treasury, collateral, custody and settlement workflows.
CLARITY still matters, but Ripple is also building through banking regulation instead of waiting on one legislative outcome.
