Vitruvian Man. Reinterpreted.

The circle cannot be squared.

Two systems.
One human center.
Material and spiritual.
Seen and unseen.

We are the point where they meet.

Ripple is dropping our cross appeal, and the SEC is expected to drop their appeal, as they’ve previously said. We’re closing this chapter once and for all, and focusing on what’s most important – building the Internet of Value. Lock in.

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.

Glad to be in this industry with you @davidfbailey 🤝

Stablecoins are exploding globally for their real-world applications (the sheer amount of recent announcements across crypto, fintech and traditional finance should indicate as such).

The sooner that the US can pass workable, clear rules, the faster it reaps the benefits of this technology.

This is Peter Thiel.

Co-founder of PayPal and one of the most controversial minds in Silicon Valley.

He just sat down with Joe Lonsdale and revealed mind-blowing facts about the government & AI that 99% of people wouldn't know…

Here are 8 key takeaways:
(No. 6 is fascinating)

Hidden Road received a license to operate as a broker-dealer, part of the firm’s expansion of its prime-brokerage business to reach more institutional investors https://t.co/zthqZKLFWT

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

Today, @Ripple announced the acquisition of Hidden Road for $1.25B, one of the largest deals ever in the crypto space. But the price tag isn’t what’s most important – it’s that this deal marks a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for crypto to access the largest and most trusted traditional markets, and vice versa.

Prime brokers (along with other key functions historically managed by banks for the most part) like Hidden Road have proven themselves as *the* trusted intermediary for the largest hedge funds, market makers, OTC desks, quant traders and more. Ripple has been a customer of Hidden Road for years, and we know their breadth of expertise firsthand, clearing $3 TRILLION annually for 300+ of the top financial institutions globally.

This is the capital and activity that will tap into XRP and the XRP Ledger’s bread-and-butter – instant, efficient, scalable and low cost movement of value. Instead of waiting for <24 hours to settle trades through fiat rails, Hidden Road will be using XRPL for clearing a portion of trades, and most consequentially, using RLUSD as collateral across its prime brokerage services, including cross-asset (crypto and traditional instrument) trades.

With this deal and the backing of Ripple’s significant balance sheet, Hidden Road will exponentially expand its capacity to service its pipeline and become the largest non-bank prime broker globally.

Ripple and Hidden Road combined are a generational leap forward, ready to truly bring the worlds of traditional and decentralized finance together. https://t.co/UYOOyQ21dG
