BREAKING: Democrats are plotting to reopen the government likely Wednesday or Thursday after socialist Zohran Mamdani wins, says Sen. Markwayne Mullin.

Asheesh and team are building something special with @evernorthxrp. We are proud to partner with him -- and proud to join an incredible set of investors including SBI Holdings, Pantera Capital, Kraken, GSR and Rippleworks, to support Evernorth as it participates in institutional lending, liquidity provisioning, and DeFi yield opportunities for XRP.

XRP Las Vegas goes from strength to strength — it’s a true testament, showcasing the incredible people from around the world that make up the XRP community. Thankful to have spent this time with the XRP family, and hope to see many of you at @rippleswell in a couple weeks!

@KingKaranCrypto love this

The Skull of Satoshi was originally built to call attention to blockchain energy usage, and today it’s a symbol and reminder of Bitcoin’s incredible staying power to many around the world (including me!).

As crypto and blockchain technologies become widely used, respected and understood – it’s past time that we set aside our differences and work together to move the industry forward. I hope this gesture continues to remind folks that we (BTC, XRP, and other crypto communities) have more in common than we think.

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

Heading to DC to champion sensible pro-crypto legislation around stablecoins and market structure, and I’m very encouraged to see our elected officials look at crypto as it should be – a multichain industry.

That said, @SenLummis, as Chair of the Digital Assets Subcommittee, canceled a meeting with me (and won’t reschedule). As a leader in Congress and Senator from one of the most crypto-friendly states (WY), I hope you will reconsider and be a leader for ALL of crypto. I invite you to join me on an X Space anytime (or a live convo onstage at one of the many events we cross paths at) to talk about how to make the US the crypto capital of the world, as is the goal of the Trump Administration. I will continue to do everything possible to support that goal.

The launch of regulated XRP Futures on @CMEGroup marks a key institutional milestone for XRP…and very excited to report that Hidden Road cleared the first block trade on CME at the opening!

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

Proud to team up with @DonorsChoose and Teach For America on @Ripple’s first major philanthropic initiative powered by RLUSD.

American innovation and economic mobility start in the classroom, and this $25M will support students, teachers and staff with the resources they need to build a stronger future for themselves and their communities.

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

Great to be back with @LizClaman today to chat about Ripple’s historic acquisition of prime broker Hidden Road and what this means for the broader crypto market, as the US takes a much-needed pro-innovation approach with new leadership. We’re moving past the SEC’s war on crypto and entering the next phase of the market - true institutional flows integrating with decentralized finance.

As I said today on @MorningsMaria, I strongly believe we are UNDERESTIMATING what it means to unlock the US market through upcoming crypto legislation as well as previous guidance / statements rescinded from the SEC and OCC allowing FIs to work with crypto.

With 4+ years of headwinds behind us – the US is ready to reclaim its leadership position.

@CGasparino @SECGov There is no ethereum decentralization test at the SEC. This is fiction.

[Grayscale @Grayscale]

"10 years ago, I would have not predicted that we'd be invited into the White House," says @bgarlinghouse, CEO at @Ripple, as he spoke at @blockworksDAS today, right after he announced that the SEC will drop its appeal.

He went on to add that Ripple is:
➡️ A believer that crypto is not a zero sum game
➡️ Focused on expanding their stablecoin business via rlUSD, the Ripple stablecoin
➡️ Building an EVM side chain to allow for more smart contract functionality
➡️ Of the belief that "if crypto does well, we all do well" and has invested more than $2Bn into the broader crypto ecosystem

This mention got dropped on the editing floor but let me also give my effusive thanks to our outside counsel, especially my personal attorney Matt Solomon, for being a true believer in me and our case from the beginning.

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

This is it – the moment we’ve been waiting for. The SEC will drop its appeal – a resounding victory for Ripple, for crypto, every way you look at it.

The future is bright. Let's build.

[Jeremy Hogan @attorneyjeremy1]

If you are an XRP holder, please be kind to the BTC guys!

BTC was founded on the libertarian ideal of self-custody, immunity from deflation, control, and other shenanigans (which is why I was drawn to it). So, the last few years of big-money control, and now government/political involvement! If you are intellectually honest, it's incompatible with the whole ideal that BTC represents - and that is hard to come to terms with.

XRP, on the other hand, has always been about integration into the mainstream economic system. So, no soul-searching has been necessary.

One definition of insanity....

Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Gensler's SEC really took this to heart.
