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!
@hypebeasteth Yeah it’s like buying a rally car instead of a F1 car. They both drive at different speeds on respected trails. 👍 not to mention the winnings are far more bigger in a F1 race. 🍻
For too long, the SEC was at odds with new technology and innovation, pushing entrepreneurs offshore.
That era is over.
Under President Trump’s leadership, and alongside colleagues across the Admin and Congress, we are delivering much needed clarity to digital asset markets.

• XRPL, Ethereum, Redbelly, Canvas also live
• Chainlink, Ripple, Hashgraph all involved
• AUDM, AUDF, AUDD, RLUSD all used in settlement
• $24B in projected annual economic gains

Australia has moved tokenized finance from experiment to infrastructure.
‼️JUST IN: AUSTRALIA’S RBA DEPLOYS WHOLESALE CBDC DIRECTLY ONTO XRPL AND HEDERA NETWORKS IN PROJECT ACACIA‼️
The Reserve Bank of Australia just ran real money on both the XRPL and Hedera.💸
This is a massive development.🙇♂️
Project Acacia is a hands-on research program run by Australia’s central bank (the RBA) and industry partners.
They issued small amounts of real pilot wholesale central bank digital currency (wCBDC) and used it to settle live trades of tokenised assets such as bonds and other financial instruments on multiple blockchain networks.💰
The goal was to test what actually works when digital central bank money sits alongside private money and tokenised assets in wholesale markets.🌐
In these tests, the XRP Ledger powered complete end-to-end permissioned bond lifecycles with J.P. Morgan custody, including redemption settled in RLUSD.✅
Hedera delivered both its public network and private HashSphere ledger for critical interchange services on tokenised private money.✅
Public ISO 20022-compliant blockchains just passed a central-bank test in Australia’s wholesale markets.🔥
XRP and HBAR are both entering the plumbing of Australia’s wholesale markets.☝️
Straight from the official May 2026 final report.😏💨
Fully documented below.📝👇
The SEC is preparing to introduce an "innovation exemption" that would create a new framework for blockchain-based tokenized stock trading in the United States.
The proposal would allow digital versions of publicly traded securities to trade on blockchain networks, potentially expanding how investors access exposure to US stocks.
According to a report by Bloomberg, the plan could be released as soon as this week and forms part of the Trump administration's effort to loosen restrictions around crypto markets.
The framework would represent a major change for digital assets tied to traditional stocks, giving the SEC a clearer path to oversee tokenized securities in US markets.
