No August doldrums in DC this week! It was great to join the inaugural @CFTC Innovation Advisory Committee (a group I've called "the Olympic roster of crypto.") But for a “crypto” gathering, there were a LOT of TradFi players in the room like @NASDAQ, @CMEGroup, @CBOE, @OptionsClearing, @NYSE, @The_DTCC (alphabet soup!)
Everyone was in agreement. Rules written for a different era aren’t good enough. Not for consumers. Not for business. Not for innovation.
I made this case in an open letter to Congress back in 2019. Seven years later, we STILL need clear rules…. Thanks to the Trump administration, appointees like @ChairmanSelig, and a myriad of bold leaders in Congress, we’ve never been closer.

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 $XRP just got mentioned in a conversation with the Vice President @JDVance of the United States about America’s debt, the national crypto reserve, and the future of digital assets. (W/ @CarlHigbie)
Great to be back at the White House today alongside @realDonaldTrump, @SECPaulSAtkins, @ChairmanSelig and leaders across the crypto industry.
The big picture has never been clearer: 67 million Americans hold crypto today (that’s nearly 1 in 4!). Crypto isn't a fringe industry. And Washington DC knows the crypto voter is alive and well.
This President's incredible commitment to innovation and leadership around digital assets in the US has been profound. The future is bright.

Ripple is on the road to clarity!
Our Clarity truck is on the move in D.C. as Congress continues work on transparent rules of the road for digital assets.
The message is simple: the Clarity Act will protect consumers, support responsible innovation, and keep the U.S. competitive.
We're proud to announce that Ripple USD ($RLUSD) is now officially available in Japan, following approval from the Japan Financial Services Agency (JFSA): https://t.co/ChkYMQ6kxW
Through our partnership with SBI Group and @sbivc_official, $RLUSD will be accessible to both institutional and retail users via the VCTRADE platform, serving as a bridge for payments, tokenization, and collateral management.
With $1.7 billion in market cap and a 10-year relationship with SBI, this is a significant milestone in advancing regulated stablecoin adoption across Asia.
@Ripple CTO Emeritus @JoelKatz on where XRP is headed:
"Tokenized securities. Money market funds. Stocks. Repos. Loans."
Enterprise adoption is already here. Mass retail is next.

This is what institutional digital asset adoption looks like.
Yesterday, I celebrated 11 years at Ripple. Back then, I couldn’t have predicted that we’d still be fighting for regulatory clarity.
The fight has been worth it. After a day in DC having great conversations with @SenatorHagerty, @berniemoreno, @SenatorTimScott, @JohnBoozman and @patrickjwitt - and on stage at @Semafor World Economic Summit - I know we are closer than ever.
The CLARITY Act window is open. And now is our moment to act.
This just in: global credit rating agency Kroll has assigned @Ripple Prime an investment grade issuer rating (BBB), reflecting the financial strength, business expansion and disciplined execution of our growing prime brokerage platform.
Built at the intersection of traditional and digital asset capabilities, Ripple Prime is meeting the demand for trusted, well-capitalized prime brokerage services. With this rating, the market is taking notice.

Clear validation of @Ripple Prime’s strength, reliability and tech with today’s investment grade issuer rating from Kroll. Momentum builds when markets recognize these things.
