After XRP was cleared of security status, it fell under the CFTC’s digital commodity framework, where value is driven by utility, liquidity, and settlement.
This effectively makes XRP a digital gold, serving as a neutral bridge for moving value between financial systems.
🔥 FOR YEARS HOLDING $XRP OFFERED 0%, NOW TARGETING 8-12% YIELD
XRPFi went LIVE this month, giving holders more than just a speculative asset to hold!
@HugoPhilion, Cofounder of @flarenetworks, breaks down how to maximize returns on your $XRP holdings. 💰
1️⃣ Initial Staking (4%—6%): A product like @Firelightfi aims to provide an initial return of 4% to 6% by staking your XRP.
2️⃣ Leveraging Staked XRP in DeFi (Another 4%—10%): When you stake your XRP, you receive a receipt token, essentially "staked XRP." This token can then be placed into other decentralized finance (DeFi) applications to earn an additional 4% to 10% in yield.
🚨 BREAKING: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says "We are removing all regulatory obstacles for crypto"
Coinbase, Ripple, and a16z already in meetings with Senator Tim Scott working on the market structure bill
regulatory clarity coming faster than expected
HUGE news! @Ripple just received conditional approval from the @USOCC to charter Ripple National Trust Bank. This is a massive step forward - first for $RLUSD, setting the highest standard for stablecoin compliance with both federal (OCC) & state (NYDFS) oversight.
To the banking lobbyists – your anti-competitive tactics are transparent. You’ve complained that crypto isn’t playing by the same rules, but here’s the crypto industry – directly under the OCC's supervision and standards – prioritizing compliance, trust and innovation to the benefit of consumers. What are you so afraid of?
$9,500,000,000 in shorts will get liquidated if $ETH pumps 20%.
$2,620,000,000 in longs will get liquidated if Ethereum dumps 20%.
The max pain is now to the upside.
JUSTICE IS COMING
An illegal alien killed 3 innocent Americans on a Florida highway.
He ran to California thinking sanctuary laws would protect him.
Florida HUNTED him down and DRAGGED him out in SHACKLES to face justice.
Lt. Gov. Collins sent a DIRECT message Gavin Newsom:
“We’re DONE with that sh*t.”
And that was just the beginning…

In partnership with Ctrl Alt and the Dubai @Land_Department, Ripple Custody will deliver scalable and secure storage for the Dubai Land Department’s tokenized real estate title deeds, which have been issued on the XRP Ledger - enabling fractional ownership, transparency, and global access to Dubai’s real estate market.

"I have been speaking to @CocaCola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so. I’d like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them — You’ll see. It’s just better!" –President Donald J. Trump
In addition to applying for an OCC trust charter, @Ripple has also applied for a Fed master account through the trust company it acquired last year — @StandardCustody — which I reported Monday (see below — although I admittedly missed the Ripple connection 😬).
Being granted a Fed master account is a much bigger deal than getting granted an OCC charter in terms of access. It was described to me by a banking lawyer this way: “In terms of tiers, a master account is Diamond, bank is Platinum, trust companies are Gold and money transmitter licenses are Silver.”
The Federal Reserve has historically resisted giving crypto companies direct access to the payment system, even though critics argue it could reduce risk. It’s currently defending that stance in a lawsuit (@custodiabank v. Federal Reserve) over depository institution access to master accounts, with a decision expected any day now.

Proud of what we’ve achieved so far—and excited for what’s ahead.
Follow @NatCryptoAssoc for jargon-free, no-hype information and resources on the U.S. crypto landscape.
the xrp ledger evm sidechain just went live.
and this could be huge.
but what exactly is it.
and how does it drive value to the xrpl?
i went on stage with @Ripple cto david schwartz last year.
to talk about this.
here’s everything you need to know 👇
1/ The XRPL EVM Sidechain is live on mainnet: https://t.co/CJ61aqZvhp
After years of building with @Peersyst and the XRPL community, devs can now build, port, and deploy cross-chain and EVM-only dApps using XRP as gas, with a direct bridge to the XRPL.

I know many people who got tattoos when they were young and regret them because life changes. When someone with a Harvard MBA gets a tattoo after 50 they have thought it through and know it's only going to change in a good way. LOCK IN! @bgarlinghouse has ZERO DOUBT!
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.
