GM.

@Ripple is now officially in the top 10 most valuable companies in the world, and your still doubting $XRP.

Let that sink in.

$XRP

Happy belated New Year! I just hit send on Ripple’s quarterly shareholder email. To say that 2025 (and Q4) were successful for Ripple feels like saying @TomBrady was just a great quarterback!! (#theGOAT)

Our two major acquisitions - Ripple Prime and GTreasury - greatly accelerate and expand our ability to deliver on our vision, enabling the Internet of Value. XRP has been (and will continue to be) the heartbeat of that vision.

With truly the most comprehensive licensing portfolio (and now today UK’s EMI license added) we are poised to make 2026 even more consequential.

Building and using crypto infrastructure, updating our global financial plumbing, and rethinking legacy systems – none of this happens overnight. At Ripple, we’re going to continue taking the long view of what crypto-based assets – like XRP and RLUSD – can do, rather than chasing cycles and hype.

Bring on 2026. We are firing on all cylinders. It’s happening!

Last month, @Ripple completed the acquisition of Hidden Road (now Ripple Prime) who serve 300 institutional customers, clearing $3 trillion across all markets annually 🚀

@Ripple is now the first crypto native company to own a global, multi-asset prime broker (FX, digital assets, derivatives, fixed income + more)

We have already seen significant growth since the announcement, and XRP & RLUSD will be used as collateral for institutional clients 🚀

The institutional era just leveled up

These arguments that ripple is only worth their XRP holdings and therefore is worthless because xrp is worthless and all the people who own xrp have been duped and lack agency requires fairly stunning amounts of cognitive dissonance to pull off.

[Lord Belgrave @LordBelgrave]

It was a late afternoon in London, inside a private boardroom overlooking Canary Wharf. Around the table sat senior executives from three of the world’s largest banks, along with representatives from Ripple. I was there as one of the directors overseeing cross-border settlement strategy.

The discussion was clinical, not speculative. Spreadsheets, cost models, and projected efficiencies were all laid out in front of us. The data was irrefutable.

One XRP equals one million drops.
An average transaction consumes around ten drops, or 0.00001 XRP.

As long as those ten drops remain valued below one dollar, the cost efficiency is unmatched. Every executive in that room understood what it meant. Profit margins could be widened, client fees reduced, and settlement times reduced from days to seconds.

The only challenge left on the table was compliance — KYC, AML, and identity verification frameworks. Once those are fully synchronized with the XRP Ledger, it will deliver what every global banker has pursued for decades: instant settlement, institutional transparency, and scalable profitability across borders.

That afternoon in London, it was clear to everyone present. The future of global payments had already been engineered.

NewsMax talking about the USGOVT buying XRP to pay off the national debt. That's all!

Lock in. 😎👇

With today’s close of Hidden Road (now Ripple Prime), Ripple has announced 5 major acquisitions in ~2 years (GTreasury last week, Rail in August, Standard Custody in 2024, Metaco in 2023). As we continue to build solutions towards enabling an Internet of Value – I’m reminding you all that XRP sits at the center of everything Ripple does. Lock in.

Tired: Paying high transaction fees for international payments.

Wired: Reducing costs up to 90% by offering pay with crypto for payments.

✅ Reduce international transaction fees by up to 90%
✅ Offer 100+ cryptocurrencies and eligible wallets at checkout
