3 continents, 4 global office visits, 5 days. Crossed too many time zones to count...
Recently, @MonicaLongSF and I (along with others on the Ripple leadership team) traveled to Dublin, London, Singapore and Sydney to meet with the Ripple Team (many of whom joined from our acquisitions of GTreasury, Hidden Road, Rail, Palisade and Solvexia).
A few notes from the road -
1/ centers of gravity (business and/or employee) are never stagnant, and getting out of the US coastal mindset is imperative. It was incredibly energizing to hear from new and longtime Ripplers on what moves the needle where they are.
2/ Culture cannot be taken for granted. More than ever, we’re championing a maniacal focus and eliminating bureaucracy for employees to be owners. Don’t confuse activity with progress.
3/ Adoption doesn’t happen overnight. Platforms > point solutions. Meet customers where they are, not where they might be in a couple years.
4/ AI is becoming a fundamental part of our products – especially in cash forecasting and liquidity management in real-time for the office of the CFO. Employee productivity may be where AI starts, but the end goal is much bigger.
5/ 2026 is shaping up to be another defining year. We’re in the right markets with the right capabilities across payments, custody, liquidity and treasury management. There's a huge opportunity ahead, and we are making sure XRP is at the center of it.
The family of Alex Pretti has confirmed that he is the man in the video below kicking out the tail lights of an ice vehicle.
In the video you will see him spiting on ICE agents while screaming, profanities and literally foaming at the mouth. This is a case of extreme ICE Derailment Syndrome.
Notice the ICE agents let him go, because obviously they’re the most vicious Gestapo on earth.
Just imagine how many other attacks he carried out that were not caught on tape?
Alex Pretti to ICE agents: “F*cking assault me, motherf*cker.”
He then goes on to spit at them and kick their vehicle.
This is the Left’s “innocent bystander”
@FenoXBT He did not say there was going to be a 100 BPS. He stated that it his belief that the Federal Reserve will cut rates by a maximum of 100 Basis Points in total across all rate cuts for 2026. He is also a temporary appointee until Jan 31st of 2026. Any cut is bullish for crypto.
UPTOBER SHOWDOWN‼️
The SEC will rule on 6 SPOT $XRP ETF applications, including Grayscale, 21Shares, Bitwise, Canary Capital, WisdomTree & CoinShares.
This could be a turning point for institutional adoption & market legitimacy 💥
🚨Speaker Mike Johnson: “Democrats are demanding we restore taxpayer-funded benefits for illegals, restore $500M for woke "public" media, & gut $50B we allocated for rural hospitals.
We're NOT doing that, so Democrats are shutting down the government.”
JUST IN: #Ripple’s CTO David Schwartz teased that the $XRP Ledger is “a couple of months away” from a significant breakthrough in global finance capabilities💥🌎
