$910M + $34.66M = $944.66M
2 MORE DAYS WE SHOULD HIT $1B. WOOHOO π₯³
Weβve been seeing more and more players in the payments and stablecoins space launch their own blockchains. To me, thatβs a clear sign the market sees blockchain as core financial infrastructure β something weβve believed in and have been building toward on the XRP Ledger for over 13 years.
Launching a blockchain is hard. Building an ecosystem with developers, liquidity, trust, and real-world usage is even harder. The XRPL has real traction and institutional adoption because itβs been battle-tested, updated, and improved upon for well over a decade.
Some blockchains are built with permissioned validator sets controlled by one entity or a small group. This can provide control and compliance for specific, closed-network scenarios, but it limits reach, resilience, and the ability for anyone to contribute to securing and growing the network. Decentralization vs. centralization is constantly debated and thereβs not a single answer that fits every use case for crypto and the concepts themselves have changed in definition over the years.
As many of you know, the XRPL is public and permissionless at its core, with optional permissioned features for regulated use cases. This open foundation makes it adaptable, interoperable, and well-positioned to serve as critical infrastructure for the worldβs financial system β connecting assets, markets, and participants seamlessly across borders.
The XRPL was built so fees stay low and predictable, just fractions of a cent, without a separate gas token. You can pay directly in XRP for any issued asset, avoiding the friction and hidden costs of buying another token just to transact. XRP is counterparty-free, accessible by all, and used as a bridge asset with real utility for payments, settlement, and liquidity. (Every transaction on the XRPL uses/burns XRP.)
Itβs encouraging to see some newer chains adopt design choices that have long been part of the XRPLβs architecture, like deterministic finality and Proof of Authority-based consensus mechanisms. It shows thereβs growing alignment in the industry on the importance of predictable, reliable settlement for financial applications without expensive validation.
Looking forward to the next phase of XRPL innovations, bringing more programmability, compliance-grade capabilities, and deeper liquidity for institutional use.
And to those just getting started⦠Welcome to the party! The crypto tent is only getting bigger.
JUST A REMINDER...

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 isnβt whatβs most important β itβs 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 Ledgerβs bread-and-butter β 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 Rippleβs 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
