<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Matt Damon, who he will be talking to <a href="https://swell.ripple.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Rolling wave</a> Because RLUSD Water.org is getting attention</strong></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">TL;DR</h2>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Matt Damon is listed as a keynote speaker at Ripple Swell 2026 in Fresh York.</li>
<li>Damon is the co-founder of Water.org, which recently launched the Get Blue campaign to augment access to secure water.</li>
<li>In Water.org campaign materials, Ripple is the exclusive digital asset and payments partner for Get Blue.</li>
<li>This history gives Ripple&#8217;s RLUSD stablecoin a mainstream philanthropy beyond cryptocurrency trading and treasure apply.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Matt Damon is headed for the Ripple Swell</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Matt Damon will appear at Ripple Swell 2026, adding a mainstream name to an event already focused on the intersection of established finance, payments, stablecoins and the onchain economy. Ripple&#8217;s Swell website lists Damon as a keynote speaker and identifies him as the co-founder of Water.org, a nonprofit organization working to augment access to secure water and sanitation.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Appearance matters because it connects two stories that tend to live in different worlds: crypto payments infrastructure and celebrity-backed philanthropy. Damon&#8217;s presence gives Ripple a broader audience for a payments narrative that&#8217;s not just about trading, settlements, or institutional finance.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Water.org and get blue</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Water.org recently launched its Get Blue campaign, powered by consumer participation, brand partnerships and direct donations to augment access to secure water. The campaign is supported by major brands, and Water.org says it aims to lend a hand scale financing for household water and sanitation solutions.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ripple is listed in campaign materials as the exclusive digital asset and payments partner. The company&#8217;s role includes seed funding and the apply of Ripple Payments and Ripple USD, or RLUSD, to more efficiently transfer funds to microfinance partners. The basic principle is basic: faster and cheaper cross-border payments can leave more money available for actual financing.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why RLUSD has a different type of application</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Stablecoins are typically discussed through the lens of trading liquidity, exchange settlement, treasury management, or cross-border remittances. Water.org&#8217;s point of view is different. This gives RLUSD a apply case for humanitarian payments, where speed and cost are essential as funds may need to reach partners operating in emerging markets.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This doesn&#8217;t mean that stablecoins will magically solve the water crisis. The real work continues to be done by Water.org&#8217;s local partners, lending programs, and community-based projects. But payments infrastructure can make a difference at the edges. If money flows faster, with fewer intermediaries and less friction, the operational side of aid funding will be easier to manage.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mainstream adoption history</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the case of Ripple, the benefit comes partly from reputation. Stablecoins need credible, real-world apply cases, and philanthropy is easier for mainstream audiences to understand than driving liquidity into cryptocurrency markets. Damon&#8217;s arrival at Swell sets the stage for the company to view RLUSD as a payments infrastructure rather than just another speculative crypto asset.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Risk overestimates consequences. The keynote and partnership alone do not prove mass adoption of stablecoins. However, they show how blockchain-based payment companies are trying to transition to regular narratives aimed at the public. In this case, the point is not that users should buy the token. The idea is that stablecoin rails can lend a hand move money where it needs to go.</p>

<div class="trusted-editorial-content__text"><u>Trusted editorial office</u> content, reviewed by leading industry experts and experienced editors. <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Advertising Disclosure</a></div>
</p></div>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">TL;DR</h2>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>DefiLlama data shows low daily fee generation on the XRP ledger.</li>
<li>The source package states that daily fees are below $400 and weekly burn is around $3,100.</li>
<li>The data indicates low charging activity, not network disruption or disruption.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">XRPL fee data brings renewed attention to the business</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The XRP ledger is back under the microscope after fee data showed daily network fees dipped below $400, according to metrics tracked by DefiLlama and ledger miners listed in the source package.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Low fees are not automatically bad. XRPL is designed for low-cost transactions, and low costs are often presented as an advantage. However, fee generation can still be used as one of the indicators of network activity, demand and the scale of apply of paid transactions.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The reported weekly fee reduction of approximately $3,100 highlights the contrast between XRPL and high-fee networks such as Ethereum and Bitcoin, where users regularly pay much larger amounts for transactions.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Low fees can be a win-win</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For supporters, low fees mean that XRPL remains competent and accessible. Generating very low fees could raise questions about whether the network is seeing sufficient high-value demand compared to its market capitalization and long-term payments narrative, critics say.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This tension is why data matters. The history of the XRP market often depends on payments, liquidity and enterprise adoption. On-chain fee data gives investors one way to check whether a network is seeing significant trading activity.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why it matters</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In your article, be careful not to overstate your conclusion. Low Fee Day does not mean a network failure or a suspension of transaction settlement. It simply adds a data point to the debate about the apply of XRPL.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It also creates a useful contrast with Ripple&#8217;s broader approach to RLUSD, AI agent payments and enterprise settlement infrastructure.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What to watch next</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Watch to see if the number of fees increases, if the number of transactions says otherwise, and if Bithomp or other XRPL-native explorers confirm the same trend.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The article should avoid stating that XRPL is corrupt or stopped.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Market context</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For Bitcoinist, the story comes in the context of a broader shift in cryptocurrencies, where the infrastructure, security, governance and utility of tokens are becoming as essential as short-term price action. Traders still care about momentum, but they also need to understand the systems, risks and product changes behind the headlines.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A useful point of view is not to exaggerate the development, but to explain why it belongs in everyday market conversations. Powerful cryptocurrency stories increasingly come from protocol updates, official notices, security reports, court filings, and on-chain data, rather than solely from recycled comments.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The editorial conclusion should remain substantive: the source acknowledges the significant development of cryptocurrencies, but the consequences depend on adoption, follow-up disclosures or further on-chain evidence. This balance makes the piece usable without relying on hype and unsubstantiated claims.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From an editorial standpoint, this makes this story worth reporting as part of the broader cryptocurrency operating environment, rather than as a stand-alone hype cycle. The strongest version of the article should be close to a verified source, explain the practical risk or opportunity, and leave room for follow-up when further official data, filings, or statements about the project become available.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ripple&#8217;s XRP Ledger (XRPL) registry has seen a massive 22% raise in stablecoin activity as recent data shows a surge in liquidity over the past week. Analysts say this growth places XRPL among the top blockchains, nevertheless signaling growing adoption and capital inflows </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">declines in its price action</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<h2>Ripple&#8217;s XRP Ledger stablecoin supply increases by 22%</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">XRP shelf</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">r is seeing renewed growth and interest, with recent network data showing significant growth in stablecoin volume. Xaif ​​Crypto Market Analyst </span><a href="https://x.com/xaif_crypto/status/2063661502499049826?s=46" rel="nofollow"><span style="font-weight: 400;">common</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">    on X then </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The supply of XRPL stablecoins has increased</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">    by approximately 22% in just one week, reaching a total on-chain of $762 million. He noted that this data currently ranks XRP Ledger as the 15th largest blockchain in terms of stablecoin supply, suggesting that liquidity is increasingly flowing into the network.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Notably, the latest growth comes as stablecoins continue to play a key role in blockchain ecosystems, often serving as a measure of available liquidity and network activity. According to Xaif Crypto, the recent growth highlights the increasing flow of capital into XRPL as </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">its stablecoin market is growing</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<figure id="attachment_684990" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-684990" style="width: 512px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img fetchpriority="high" data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-684990" src="https://bitcoinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Ripple-XRP.jpg?w=512&#038;resize=512%2C295" alt="Ripple XRP" width="512" height="295"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-684990" class="wp-caption-text">XRP Ledger</figcaption></figure>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Diana is also a supporter of XRP </span><a href="https://x.com/investwithd/status/2063773884026142750?s=46" rel="nofollow"><span style="font-weight: 400;">commented</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">    on the latest milestone. She stated that the 22% raise suggests that more than $142 million hit the XRP ledger in seven days. Diana compared this performance to that of larger blockchain networks. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The data provided by her shows that </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ethereum stablecoin (ETH) supply.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">    fell 2.05% over the same period, while Tron (TRX) saw a decline of 0.51%. In comparison, XRPL saw an raise of 22.87%, making it one of the best performers among major blockchain networks during the week.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The recent raise also extends beyond the seven-day time frame. Diana noted that stablecoin liquidity on the XRP Ledger has more than doubled in the last 30 days, suggesting that the recent spike was part of a broader expansion trend. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This raise in supply indicates that XRPL is attracting a gigantic share of stablecoin liquidity, enabling the network to compete fiercely with the top blockchain players in the market. What&#8217;s more, it suggests </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">growing adoption and trust</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">    as more and more users or institutions utilize blockchain for payments and </span><a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/xrp-news/xrp-to-dominate-defi/amp/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">DeFi related activities</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<h2>Update on XRP price action</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the price action front </span><a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/analysis/xrp/xrp-price-bounce-looks-fragile-1-30/amp/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">XRP continues to decline</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">and volatility and selling pressures exacerbate an already unstable market structure. CoinMarketCap data shows that the price of XRP is currently around $1.1, down another 5% over the last 24 hours and around 10% over the past week. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite the indigent performance, </span><a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/xrp-news/every-xrp-time-frame-oversold/amp/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">analysts remain confident</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">    on future XRP price action, with some pointing to upcoming action </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">CLARITY Act</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">    as another catalyst that could trigger massive cryptocurrency growth. Market Analyst Tom </span><a href="https://x.com/tom0nchain/status/2064058824852693018?s=46" rel="nofollow"><span style="font-weight: 400;">forecast</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">    rising towards a range as high as $15-18 for XRP following the passage of the Cryptocurrency Act and the acceleration of institutional adoption of the cryptocurrency. He noted that this projected raise would mean an raise in the price of XRP of over 1,100% from its current level. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cryptocurrency expert Bank XRP pointed out how to do this </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ripple Prime</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">    went into the basic infrastructure of Wall Street. This followed an announcement by the Depository Trust &#038; Clearing Corporation (DTCC) naming the crypto company as a tokenization service partner. </span></p>
<h2>How Ripple and XRP hit Wall Street</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In </span><a href="https://x.com/BankXRP/status/2063493399450440117?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Post X</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">XRP Bank stated that Ripple is currently in Wall Street&#8217;s core infrastructure. He noted that the DTCC, which settles $114 trillion in transactions, has confirmed that Ripple Prime is among more than 50 companies joining its tokenization working group. The company joins companies such as BlackRock, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Goldman Sachs</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">and JPMorgan, which was also mentioned by DTCC.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">DTCC has revealed that it plans to implement a production trading pilot </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">tokenized real-world assets</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">    will employ its service in July 2026, and then launch the service in October 2026. Meanwhile, in response to the XRP Bank&#8217;s post, cryptocurrency analyst ChartNerd emphasized that DTCC&#8217;s partnership with Ripple Prime is beneficial for XRP. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In </span><a href="https://x.com/ChartNerdTA/status/2063574217954619555?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Post X</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">noted that Ripple Prime is used in all US states and that the brokerage currently allows customers to employ XRP and RLUSD. He added that prime brokerage uses both assets for trading, hedging and post-trade settlement purposes. Notably, the DTCC partnership comes at a time when the tokenization narrative is becoming more and more heated </span><a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/xrp-news/whats-going-wrong-with-xrp-expert-points-to-2-major-bearish-flips-in-these-key-metrics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"><span style="font-weight: 400;">XRP Ledger (XRPL)</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://rwa.xyz" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"><span style="font-weight: 400;">RWA.xyz</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">    data shows that the total RWA value of the XRP Ledger has now exceeded $4 billion, an augment of over 10% in the last 30 days. Other metrics such as the number of RWA holders, stablecoin market cap, stablecoin holders, and stablecoin transaction volume have also increased over the past 30 days, signaling significant activity on the network. </span></p>
<h2>The expert refers to XRP&#8217;s relationship with Bank Of America&#8217;s partnership with SWIFT</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In </span><a href="https://x.com/ChartNerdTA/status/2063574217954619555?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Post X</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">cryptocurrency expert X Finance Bull explained how Bank of America&#8217;s decision to launch cross-border payments via SWIFT applies to XRP. He noted that the bank was included on the RippleNet membership list and sat on the Ripple Governance Committee. The expert added that the bank also has exposure to XRP through volatility stocks </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">XRP ETFs</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this regard, X Finance Bull noted that the same bank, developing through SWIFT, has already settled its exposure to XRP and its affiliation with the payments company. He announced that banks do not choose between </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">SWIFT and Ripple</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">    but they are driving in both lanes at the same time. On the one hand, SWIFT provides these banks with a global communication reach of over 11,000 institutions. On the other hand, RippleNet is said to provide blockchain-based settlement and on-demand liquidity via XRP, where speed, cost and capital efficiency matter. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At the time of writing, XRP is trading around $1.15, having risen over the past 24 hours, according to </span><a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/xrp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"><span style="font-weight: 400;">data</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">    from CoinMarketCap.</span></p>

<p>Bank of America is expanding its global payments strategy with a renewed focus on expanding opportunities for cross-border transactions, underscoring the growing importance of capable international money flows in contemporary finance. As one of the world&#8217;s largest financial institutions and a company often associated with discussions about Ripple and payments innovation, Bank of America&#8217;s latest initiative highlights the continued evolution of its global settlement infrastructure.</p>
<h2>Ripple is gaining institutional momentum thanks to a major banking alliance</h2>
<p>Bank of America, a Ripple partner, is preparing to launch a up-to-date cross-border payments service using SWIFT. An analyst known as SMQKE on X <a href="https://x.com/SMQKEDQG/status/2063581284195086499?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">excellent</a> that instead of immediately replacing existing systems, banks are increasingly adopting hybrid payment models that apply both Ripple and SWIFT in global transactions. This dual-framework approach is practical for banks because RippleNet can be integrated into existing banking infrastructure just like a classic payments system.</p>
<p>SMQKE argues that Ripple&#8217;s partnership with Bank of America could create a path for XRP to access the bank&#8217;s extensive global payments network. As a result of this move, banks can maintain global SWIFT connectivity while leveraging XRP via RippleNet as a source of on-demand liquidity.</p>
<p>However, Bank of America <a href="https://www.electronicpaymentsinternational.com/news/bank-of-america-cross-border-real-time-payments/?cf-view" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">up-to-date real-time cross-border payment service</a> in this hybrid model, it will further strengthen the foundations of XRP integration with the bank&#8217;s core payment infrastructure.</p>
<h2>Institutional compliance remains a key advantage of XRP Ledger</h2>
<p>The claim that XRP is volatile in terms of tokenization is technically baseless. Cryptocurrency analyst CharuSan does <a href="https://x.com/CharuSan83/status/2063609665796047017?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">he noticed</a> that with its institutional-grade compliance features, built-in security architecture, and deep liquidity capabilities, XRP Ledger stands out as one of the most suitable and secure networks for tokenization in the current market.</p>
<p>This is unlike the Ethereum network where external clever contract codes such as ERC-20 must be written to tokenize an asset. In XRPL, the tokenization process is embedded directly in the base code of the network&#8217;s native resources. This eliminates the need to create custom clever contract code, which is often a major source of vulnerabilities, exploits, and cyberattacks.</p>
<p>According to CharuSan, by embedding tokenization at the protocol level, XRPL enables the secure issuance and transfer of real-world assets such as real estate, stocks and bonds in seconds, without exposing institutions to clever contract risks.</p>
<p>Moreover, regulatory compliance remains a key requirement for institutional adoption. Wall Street and institutional banks must enforce strict Know Your Customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) regulatory standards, including controls over who can hold tokenized assets. XRPL solves this problem natively by allowing issuers to restrict access and freeze suspicious accounts, if necessary, to ensure that only authorized participants can receive the token at the protocol level.</p>

<div id="ftwp-postcontent">
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Ripple </span><a href="https://bitcoinist.com/ripple-ipo-something-special-xrp-holders/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400">possible public announcement </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">returned to the conversation after SBI Holdings CEO Yoshitaka Kitao presented one of the clearest, long-term roadmaps to date from major shareholder Ripple.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Yoshitaka Kitao, CEO and chairman of SBI, one of Japan&#8217;s largest financial conglomerates, </span><a href="https://x.com/sentosumosaba/status/2061713890514526562?s=20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400">he noticed that</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">    have since gained recognition from members of the XRP community. Talking about his long-term investment intentions, Kitao stated that he is willing to allocate $626 million for the bottom end and $1.25 billion for the top end of Ripple once the payment technology company goes public.</span></p>
<h2 id="ftoc-heading-1" class="ftwp-heading">SBI CEO says Ripple must go public</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The question of whether Ripple Labs will ever go public has haunted the company for years, although Ripple&#8217;s management has consistently cooled down expectations for an initial public offering. </span></p>
</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Speaking at a recent conference in Tokyo, Japan, </span><a href="https://youtu.be/megP9UDnaZA?si=sIO2cDLfvaqbbYBV&#038;t=4151" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400">Kitao said </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">that when Ripple Labs goes public, it plans to make enormous investments in the company. His statements indicate that the company would be willing to add 100 or even 200 billion yen right away to complete everything. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Interestingly, the SBI Holdings CEO added that he believes Ripple will likely go public in about 12 years, while also stating that Ripple needs to go public. On this timeline, the possible listing is outside the current cycle as it points to around 2038.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The comment matters because Kitao is one </span><a href="https://bitcoinist.com/xrp-power-play-in-asia/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400">not a distant observer </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">not an XRP commentator trying to predict the next catalyst</span><span style="font-weight: 400">    due to the raise in XRP prices. </span><span style="font-weight: 400">SBI is one of Ripple&#8217;s most consistent sponsors, and its relationship with the company dates back to 2016. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">SBI invested in Ripple Labs and later co-founded SBI Ripple Asia, a joint venture focused on using Ripple technology for cross-border payment services in Asia. SBI also publicly </span><a href="https://bitcoinist.com/did-sbi-really-buy-10-billion-xrp/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400">it has been revealed that this is the case</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">    approximately 9% of Ripple Labs, making it one of the company&#8217;s largest external shareholders.</span></p>
<h2 id="ftoc-heading-2" class="ftwp-heading">The company has always opposed IPO talks</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Comments regarding Ripple&#8217;s IPO in particular have been circulating around the company for years </span><a href="https://bitcoinist.com/ripple-makes-new-demands/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400">after a legal battle</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">    with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission officially ended in 2025. Ripple did too </span><a href="https://bitcoinist.com/the-xrp-asian-breakout-japan-and-south-korea-lead-the-charge/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400">has grown as a company</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">    in custody, stablecoin infrastructure, real-world asset tokenization and acquisitions.</span></p>
</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">However, Ripple executives also noted that the company is in no rush to pursue an initial public offering. For example, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse rejected IPO talks last year, saying the company did not need external financing. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Ripple president Monica Long also said in January 2026 that Ripple </span><a href="https://bitcoinist.com/ripple-president-long-2026-crypto-predictions/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400">I still planned to keep it private</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">    explaining that the company&#8217;s balance sheet gives it enough room for further development without raising capital from public markets. This position also fits with Ripple&#8217;s recent strength in the private market, as </span><a href="https://bitcoinist.com/ripple-president-no-ipo-no-exchange-bigger-plans/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400">Ripple raised </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">$500 million at a valuation of approximately $40 billion at the end of 2025.</span></p>

<p>My name is Godspower Owie, I was born and raised in Edo State, Nigeria. I grew up with three siblings who were always my idols and mentors, helping me grow and understand the way of life.</p>
<div>
<p>My parents are literally the basis of my story. They always supported me in good and bad times and never once left me when I felt lost in this world. Honestly, having such amazing parents makes you feel sheltered and I wouldn&#8217;t trade them for anything else in this world.</p>
<p>I encountered the world of cryptocurrencies 3 years ago and I was very interested in learning so much about it. It all started when a friend of mine invested in crypto assets that brought him huge profits on his investments.</p>
<p>When I confronted him about cryptocurrencies, he explained his journey in this field so far. Learning about his consistency and involvement in this space, despite the risks involved, was impressive and these are the main reasons why I became so interested in cryptocurrency.</p>
<p>Trust me, I&#8217;ve had experience with the ups and downs of the market, but I&#8217;ve never once lost my passion to grow in this field. This is because I believe that development leads to perfection and that is my goal in this field. And today I am an employee of the Bitcoinnist and NewsBTC news sites.</p>
<p>My bosses and colleagues are some of the best people I have ever worked with, both inside and outside of the cryptocurrency space. I intend to give my all by working with my amazing colleagues to grow these companies.</p>
<p>Sometimes I like to imagine myself as an explorer, this is because I like visiting fresh places, I like learning fresh things (useful ones to be precise), I like meeting fresh people &#8211; people who have an impact on my life, no matter how petite.</p>
<p>One of the things I love and enjoy the most is football. This will remain my favorite outdoor activity, probably because I am so good at it. I am also very good at singing, dancing, acting, fashion and more.</p>
<p>I value my time, work, family and loved ones. I mean, these are probably the most essential things in anyone&#8217;s life. I&#8217;m not chasing illusions, I&#8217;m chasing dreams.</p>
<p>I know that there are still many things that I need to discover in myself to be successful in life. I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll get there because I know I won&#8217;t give up and I&#8217;ll give it my all until the very end to get to the top.</p>
<p>I dream of one day becoming a boss and having people under me, just like I worked under the supervision of great people. This is one of my biggest professional dreams, which I do not take lightly. Everyone knows that the road ahead is not as effortless as it seems, but thanks to God Almighty, my family and friends who share a common passion, nothing will stop me.</p>

<div class="trusted-editorial-content trusted-editorial-content--top">
<div class="trusted-editorial-content__text"><u>Trusted editorial office</u> content, reviewed by leading industry experts and experienced editors. <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Advertising Disclosure</a></div>
</p></div>
<p>Ripple has expanded its USD-backed RLUSD stablecoin to Türkiye through novel partnerships with BiLira, Bitexen and Bitlo, giving local institutions access to assets in one of the most dynamic cryptocurrency markets in the MENA region.</p>
<p>Launching, <a href="https://ripple.com/ripple-press/new-partnerships-bring-rlusd-to-turkiye/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">announced</a> The June 2 release marks the next step in Ripple&#8217;s push to position RLUSD as an enterprise-grade stablecoin for payments, tokenization, and security applications. The company said the market capitalization of RLUSD, which launched in tardy 2024, has reached $1.7 billion, citing growing institutional demand for a compliance-oriented digital dollar.</p>
<p>“RLUSD has quickly gained popularity in financial use cases, serving as a vital bridge for payments, tokenization and collateral management,” said Jack McDonald, vice president of Stablecoins at Ripple. &#8220;As enterprise demand grows around the world, the launch on Türkiye marks a milestone in our expansion. Türkiye sits at the intersection of traditional finance and the digital economy, with one of the world&#8217;s highest cryptocurrency adoption rates.&#8221;</p>
<p>McDonald added that Ripple is positioning RLUSD as a regulated dollar asset for businesses seeking access to liquidity outside of local markets. “By providing stable USD-backed assets that are both transparent and fully regulated, we enable Turkish businesses to access global liquidity,” he said.</p>
<h2>Ripple brings RLUSD to a high adoption market</h2>
<p>Türkiye&#8217;s Ripple implementation is based on three local digital asset platforms with different roles in the domestic market. BiLira is engaged in stablecoin issuance, exchange services and market making, while Bitexen offers trading, depository and related services in Turkey, the Middle East, South Africa and Europe. Founded in 2018 by Mustafa Alpay and Hakan Baş, Bitlo operates a cryptocurrency trading platform that lists major assets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana.</p>
<p>The choice of Türkiye is noteworthy. Ripple cited Chainalytic&#8217;s 2025 Geography of Crypto Report, stating that the country remains the dominant cryptocurrency market in the MENA region, enabling nearly $200 billion in transactions annually and outperforming regional peers by almost four times.</p>
<p>Ripple found this adoption noteworthy. Ripple cited the Chainalytic Geography of Crypto Report 2025, stating that the country remains the dominant cryptocurrency market in the MENA region, supporting an annual transaction volume of almost $200 billion and outperforming other regional competitors by almost four times its response to economic conditions and the effect of regulatory developments.</p>
<p>According to the company, the Capital Markets Board&#8217;s implementation of the licensing framework in 2024 has helped move the market away from speculative retail activity towards a more structured institutional ecosystem. This legal certainty, Ripple said, created a clearer path for global companies to collaborate with domestic partners.</p>
<p>In the case of BiLira, the partnership is presented as an extension of the current role between fiat and cryptocurrencies. “BiLira exists to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the digital future,” said Sinan Koç, co-founder of BiLira. &#8220;Our partnership with Ripple is built on a shared commitment to regulatory integrity. By prioritizing the availability of RLUSD, we are providing our clients with a gold-standard asset designed for the next era of finance.&#8221;</p>
<h2>Local partners present RLUSD as an institutional digital dollar</h2>
<p>Bitexen described the launch of RLUSD as the beginning of a broader rollout on its global platform. “We are pleased to introduce RLUSD to our users in Turkey as the first step in a broader implementation on the Bitexen Global platform,” said Alphan Göğüş, CEO of Bitexen MENA. &#8220;At Bitexen, we operate a multi-jurisdictional digital asset infrastructure, connecting local markets with global liquidity in Turkey, the Middle East, South Africa and Europe through our regulated entities. Supporting RLUSD is in line with our strategy of providing trusted USD-denominated instruments in a compliant and scalable framework.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bitlo CEO Mustafa Alpay positioned the integration around access to dollar-denominated digital finance and volatility management. “Bitlo is proud to be the gateway where global excellence meets local ambition, so by bringing RLUSD to our platform, we are excited to offer the Turkish crypto ecosystem a direct, secure gateway to global financial markets,” Alpay said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our users are looking for secure, digitally native ways to manage their wealth and hedge against volatility. By integrating a regulated, enterprise-grade stablecoin like RLUSD, we provide our customers with the highest standard of digital dollars for enterprise needs.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ripple said RLUSD is now available globally through a broader list of partners that includes Binance, Bitso, Bitstamp, ByBit, Gemini, Kraken, LMAX and OKX, as well as novel Turkish platforms.</p>
<p>The company also used Türkiye&#8217;s announcement to expand its academic footprint, naming Istanbul Technical University as the newest partner of its university blockchain research initiative.

<div class="trusted-editorial-content__text"><u>Trusted editorial office</u> content, reviewed by leading industry experts and experienced editors. <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Advertising Disclosure</a></div>
</p></div>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Retired Ripple CTO David Schwartz provided a scarce inside look at the company </span><a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/latest-xrp-ledger-update/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"><span style="font-weight: 400;">how could XRP Ledger do it? </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">respond if it ever comes under pressure from a state-level entity.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The discussion began by asking whether an authoritarian regime could exploit or attack the XRP ledger by attacking its network of validators. Schwartz hasn&#8217;t completely dismissed the risk and according to him, if the pressure ever becomes severe enough, XRP Ledger </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">could be reorganized</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">    around a more stalwart validator structure.</span></p>
<h2>State-level attacks can only temporarily disrupt XRPL</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The XRP ledger has operated without major interruptions on over 70 million closed ledgers, but its trustworthiness may soon be tested in ways its creators never expected, not least of which could be authoritarian regimes and state-level interference. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Schwartz </span><a href="https://x.com/JoelKatz/status/2060941841651142729?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"><span style="font-weight: 400;">he admitted it </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">the threat to the blockchain network from state entities is real. He said state-level actors can cause fleeting disruptions to blockchains, including the XRP Ledger, but long-term damage is a completely different matter. Answers have been provided </span><a href="https://x.com/cryptohldr/status/2060926967847755782?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"><span style="font-weight: 400;">to the question regarding </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">on social media platform X, where a member of the XRP community asked whether an authoritarian regime like Putin would co-opt or disrupt the UNL/validator network in order to weaponize the registry.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, according to Ripple&#8217;s retired CTO, long-term control from external forces </span><a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/xrp-news/xrp-ledger-defi-users/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"><span style="font-weight: 400;">it would be much more tough</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">    if the wider XRPL community remains dynamic enough to respond. Ripple-enabled validators make up less than 20% of the entire network, which means any concentrated attack on Ripple&#8217;s own infrastructure will leave its set of validators intact. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The </span><a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/altcoin/ripple-and-project-eleven-join-forces-to-make-xrp-ledger-quantum-ready/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Survival of the XRPL network</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">    in this type of scenario, it would depend less on whether one of the validators is attacked and more on whether the network can continue to replace operators at risk or under pressure. An attack would only become truly solemn if a hostile actor could make people too afraid to run validators at all.</span></p>
<h2>How the reorganization of the XRP ledger will affect the network</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Schwartz also described a possible long-term change to the XRPL consensus structure in the event of an attack by an authoritarian regime. His example was a two-layer consensus algorithm, in which the inner layer would handle normal network activity and the outer layer would only act when the network needed to change the inner layer&#8217;s unique node list (UNL).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Internal validators would ensure the daily operation of the XRP ledger. If these validators were attacked or compromised, the effect would be minimal because they can be easily replaced. External validators would play a lighter and less habitual role, stepping in mainly when changes to the set of validators are needed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It would also be more tough to target external validators because they wouldn&#8217;t have to consistently work in the same noticeable way. They could be lightweight, appear only when needed, and operate through anonymization services such as Tor or I2P.</span></p>

</p></div>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Crypto company Ripple has sent a letter to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) demanding clarity on the treatment of payment stablecoins and tokenized securities. This follows a meeting the company held with the Commission </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cryptocurrency Task Force</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">    a few months ago. </span></p>
<h2>Ripple asks the SEC to clarify the issue of stablecoins and tokenized securities</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">IN </span><a href="https://www.sec.gov/files/ctf-written-input-ripple-052226.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"><span style="font-weight: 400;">letter</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">    addressed to the SEC Cryptocurrency Task Force, Ripple requested clarification on stablecoins and tokenized deposits and provided suggestions on the Commission&#8217;s next course of action. First, the crypto company cited the need for transparency in its treatment </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">stablecoins as collateral</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">    and suggested that the Commission amend Rule 15c3-1 to clarify how stablecoins can be properly used on balance sheets. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Additionally, Ripple requested clarity on custody requirements for customer stablecoins and suggested that the SEC amend Rule 15c3-3 to define the category of “eligible payment stablecoins.” The company also asked the Crypto Task Force to clarify that non-securities crypto assets beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum can be treated in the same way. Ripple referred to </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The latest SEC guidance</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">which classified other major cryptocurrencies as commodities alongside BTC and ETH. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To accomplish this, Ripple suggested that the SEC revise Question 4 in the FAQs on Crypto Asset Business to include any securities other than securities that meet the definition of readily marketable. The company further asked the Commission to provide an analysis illustrating how the 2% haircut on stablecoins remains punitive. They suggested that stablecoins should have a 0% haircut provided there is a mint relationship between them </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">broker-dealer</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">    and issuer. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Finally, Ripple asked the SEC Crypto Task Force to clarify which ownership registry, whether off-chain or on-chain, has priority in determining ownership and enforceable rights. The company insisted that the task force designate the on-chain registry as a single authoritative legal registry, thereby eliminating the dual-register ambiguity that arises in digital twin structures. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ripple mentioned in the letter that the response was a follow-up to a meeting it held on March 20 with the SEC Crypto Task Force. The company further revealed that it has discussed the treatment of payment stablecoins and </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">tokenized securities</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">    in line with net capital and consumer protection regulations, as well as potential next steps towards broader guidance. </span></p>
<h2>Ripple CEO says the anti-crypto army has been defeated</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In </span><a href="https://x.com/bgarlinghouse/status/2059996193384448313?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Post X</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said the anti-crypto army has been defeated by courts, voters and </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">US President Donald Trump</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. He noted that the cryptocurrency hunt never made &#8220;political, legal or policy sense.&#8221; He added that cracking down on financial innovation only helped protect those who wanted to maintain the aged, often broken system. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Garlinghouse was reacting to President Trump&#8217;s post in which he criticized former SEC Chairman Gary Gensler and the anti-crypto army for nearly destroying the US crypto industry. The president also promised that his administration would codify it </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">CLARITY Act</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">something that “cryptocurrency haters” cannot undo.</span></p>
