1/6 For everyone who's wondered when "real banks" will use blockchain: they already are. The next 18 months will be about how much, on which chains, and under which set of rules.
One of Europe's biggest banks has put its euro stablecoin on XRP. Here's why that matters. 🧵👇

This is a meaningful step toward 24/7 global financial markets.
By combining the XRP Ledger with global banking infrastructure, this pilot shows how institutions can execute cross-border transactions in a single integrated flow.
Ondo, Kinexys by @jpmorgan, @Mastercard, & @Ripple successfully completed a landmark pilot transaction connecting the XRP ledger with interbank settlement rails.
This milestone marks the first time tokenized U.S. Treasuries have settled across borders and banks in near real time and outside traditional banking windows.
1. Ondo processed Ripple’s OUSG redemption on XRP Ledger
2. Mastercard's Multi-Token Network routed instructions to Kinexys by J.P. Morgan
3. J.P. Morgan delivered USD to Ripple's Singapore bank account
Tokenized assets are no longer separate from the global financial system. For the first time, a public blockchain and global banking infrastructure settled a cross-border transaction of a tokenized fund together in real time.
Together, we’re laying the groundwork for 24/7 global markets that never close.

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!
Enhanced utility is coming for $XRP
XRP holders can use XRP alongside $RLUSD as a premier trading and liquidity pair on supported chains, allowing businesses to facilitate payments and checkout options that let users buy, sell, or send digital assets.
HUGE news! @Ripple just received conditional approval from the @USOCC to charter Ripple National Trust Bank. This is a massive step forward - first for $RLUSD, setting the highest standard for stablecoin compliance with both federal (OCC) & state (NYDFS) oversight.
To the banking lobbyists – your anti-competitive tactics are transparent. You’ve complained that crypto isn’t playing by the same rules, but here’s the crypto industry – directly under the OCC's supervision and standards – prioritizing compliance, trust and innovation to the benefit of consumers. What are you so afraid of?
@DevJourneyAsh @Cryptoinsightuk No, explained exactly correctly by me, the neutral 3rd party who doesn't hold either bag.
XRP moving around on Solana is value accrual for SOL; not XRP. It means using SOL as gas; not XRP.
It means MEV generated on Solana for SOL stakers.
In November, I unexpectedly became enemy #1 of the XRP Army.
Through the resulting public learning process, I had a chance to meet many OG devs, core community members, memelords, and the team at Ripple itself, and I came to an understanding of the uniqueness of XRP as an asset, and its community.
It is with pleasure to announce that we are building a bridge to Solana with deep day 1 liquidity for XRP.
With XRP on Solana, holders and traders maintain access to the same underlying XRP as exists on the XRPL, but with an asset that can be used in any Solana DeFi:
- Earn yield by lending
- LP other tokens like SOL, stablecoins, or any one of the millions of Solana tokens with XRP in the liquidity pair
- Buy stocks, RWAs, yield-bearing tokens, prediction markets using XRP
- Explore the vast product ecosystem on Solana without routing through exchanges
And like any good bridge, your XRP on Solana is always redeemable 1:1 for XRP on the ledger itself. It is self-custodial from end to end.
Tomorrow @SolanaConf, I will join @luke_judges from Ripple to chat more about what this means and what the future has in store.
Day 1 of $LINK ETF launch is in the books.
$LINK outperformed both $XRP and $SOL ETF volumes adjusted for marketcap.
$GLNK had more of total float show up in the wrapper on day 1 than comps (bps of mcap)
$GLNK had more inflows into the wrapper on day 1 than comps (bps of mcap)
$GLINK had more volumes in the wrapper on day 1 than comps (bps of mcap)
