Ondo, Kinexys by @jpmorgan, @Mastercard, & @Ripple successfully completed a landmark pilot transaction connecting the XRP ledger with interbank settlement rails.

This milestone marks the first time tokenized U.S. Treasuries have settled across borders and banks in near real time and outside traditional banking windows.

1. Ondo processed Ripple’s OUSG redemption on XRP Ledger

2. Mastercard's Multi-Token Network routed instructions to Kinexys by J.P. Morgan

3. J.P. Morgan delivered USD to Ripple's Singapore bank account

Tokenized assets are no longer separate from the global financial system. For the first time, a public blockchain and global banking infrastructure settled a cross-border transaction of a tokenized fund together in real time.

Together, we’re laying the groundwork for 24/7 global markets that never close.

We can’t thank everyone enough who went the extra mile to make this last week possible.

The boys had an amazing week playing great baseball in MB, bonding at the beach, pool, putt-putt & team dinners!

But most importantly, we made memories that will last a lifetime!

Let me make this very clear: Big Banks (think JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, etc.) are lobbying overtime to block Americans from getting higher yields on their savings—while trying to block any rewards or perks from being given to customers.

These banks, and others, pay rock-bottom rates on standard savings (often 0.01%–0.05% APY), even as the Fed pays them 4% or more. This massive spread fuels record profits, with almost none passed back to their customers / everyday depositors.

Today, the banks are desperately targeting crypto/stablecoins, where platforms plan to offer 4–5%+ yields or rewards. The ABA and other lobbyists are spending millions trying to ban or restrict those yields via bills like the Clarity Act, crying “fairness” and using words like "stability"—when it's really about protecting their low-rate monopoly and preventing deposit flight. This is anti-retail, anti-consumer, and straight-up anti-American.

Next time you see a big bank dropping billions on a shiny new Midtown Manhattan HQ, you know exactly where that money comes from: the non-existent interest rate they “pay” you!

Fortunately, the big banks are losing this fight as customers wake up to the games…

President Trump is exactly right 🎯 🎯

For the first time in decades, Wall Street is facing actual competition from financial innovators. Now they’re relying on Washington insiders to shut out the pioneers giving everyday Americans a seat at the table.

Americans deserve a choice in how they invest and the returns they receive. They shouldn’t have to depend on a financial system designed for big banks decades ago.

We’re on the brink of a financial revolution. The question isn’t if this is happening, it’s where. America can’t afford to lose our spot at the epicenter of financial innovation by propping up an outdated system.

2️⃣ Cement U.S. dollar dominance 
3️⃣ Increase demand for U.S. treasuries

Let’s do this.

After significant studying, and in keeping with President Trump’s vision to make the United States the crypto capital of the world, today I ordered the Great Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to prepare their businesses to count cryptocurrency as an asset for a mortgage.

SO ORDERED

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

For YEARS, crypto companies have been calling on Congress to pass crypto legislation and set rules of the road. This is the first major financial bill since Dodd-Frank -- the first crypto bill to pass in the Senate, which now moves to the House, a truly historic moment.

Thank you to @SenatorTimScott, @SenatorHagerty, @gillibrandny, @Sen_Alsobrooks and many more for their leadership.

[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.

$USDT Tether’s sudden lack of minting and $RLUSD going online at the same time, is not coincidental.
