XRP added to Arizona digital reserve bill. After a 4–2 committee vote, the Arizona State Legislature advanced a bill that adds $XRP as an eligible asset in the proposed Digital Assets Strategic Reserve Fund 😁

🚨BREAKING: Ripple CTO Says “Bitcoin Can’t Win Alone — XRP Was Built to Replace the Global Finance in Next Couple of Years" 💥 @JoelKatz, Ripple’s CTO, sat down with @EleanorTerrett and @Matt_Hougan, and honestly… this might be one of the most important XRP interviews of the year. 💥 “There is no universe where Bitcoin is the only winner.” David said something Bitcoin maxis absolutely hate to hear: “It’s inconceivable there’s a world with only one successful blockchain… the entire space succeeds or it doesn’t.” Bitcoin can’t carry the entire financial system. The world WILL need multiple networks — and $XRP is one of them. He said early Bitcoin tribalism actually slowed down progress — and now institutions finally understand that $XRP isn’t a threat to Bitcoin… it’s the missing piece Bitcoin can’t provide. ⚡ $XRP vs. Bitcoin, Ethereum & Solana — “XRP was built differently.” @JoelKatz explained why it outclasses $BTC, $ETH, and $SOL at the job it was designed for: “XRP is the first blockchain not cloned from Bitcoin… it doesn’t use proof-of-work… it had issued assets before anyone… it has a native decentralized exchange.” “The XRP Ledger is a curated set of financial primitives.” 🔗 “Whatever Ripple builds — $XRP profits from it. Always.” “XRP is the only asset everyone can hold… the only asset that pays fees… the only asset without a counterparty… the bridge asset the network automatically routes trades through.” David explained: “You might not see it as a user, but $XRP routes trades behind the scenes.” Every new liquidity pool, every new stablecoin, every new RWA on XRP Ledger increases XRP’s usage without anyone realizing they’re using it. 🌍 “XRP will help replace huge parts of traditional finance in the next few years.” “Blockchain will replace significant fractions of traditional finance for ordinary people.” •banks → become blockchain apps •lending → becomes on-chain •investments → become tokenized •global money movement → becomes instant •and XRP sits at the center as the neutral, jurisdiction-free settlement asset

Congrats to $XRPC for $58m in Day One volume, the most of any ETF launched this year (out of 900), BARELY edging out $BSOL's $57m. The two of them are in league of own tho as 3rd place is over $20m away.

Numbers never lie. The enemy hates data like this 👇🏽
🚨 The immigrants were using taxpayer money to purchase homes. We don't need 50-year mortgages. We need 50 million deportations.

When all this is said and done no one will ever be able to relate to what we went through to hold these digital assets. The history books… the fancy colleges… the mainstream news anchors… our story will never be told. The story of the uninvited. The story of the scrappiest, most unrelenting badasses who looked the biggest propaganda machine of all time directly in the eyes and told it go to FUCK itself. The story of those smart enough to get it and stubborn enough to believe it. The story of those who persevered.

Today, Ripple is breaking into the $120T corporate treasury payments market with the $1B acquisition of GTreasury. The past few years have reminded this industry why payments, first and foremost, is THE primary use case for crypto and blockchain. Payments are where Ripple first started for exactly these reasons – the infrastructure is complex, siloed and inefficient, but as we know, perfectly positioned to benefit from decentralized financial technologies. Astounding amounts of cash are trapped in outdated payments systems, creating friction, unnecessary costs, and barriers to entering new markets. GTreasury has been serving some of the most well known brands for decades – and now together with Ripple, we’ll be able to help CFOs manage all their assets, include stablecoins, tokenized deposits, etc at scale around the world, as well as put their idle capital to work with repo markets via Hidden Road. The opportunity is here, and we’re diving right in. It’s happening! ripple.com/ripple-press/ripp…

This is nothing like Lehman Brothers. I know, because I was there. Liquid staking is an important innovation, made possible through tokenization. By tokenizing a staked asset, end users can benefit from yield while also being able to deploy that asset as collateral, for example. The underlying staked assets secure the network--in an energy efficient manner. Liquid staking has risks--no doubt about it. One of those risks is slashing (loss of principal) and loss of yield. But both can now be insured...just ask @IMAfinancial and @ChainproofDAI. There are also instances where depegging is possible. Buying/selling commodities can be risky. Just look at natural gas markets! But if there is fraud, manipulation or abuse--it is the @CFTC's duty to enforce. And they should do so. If you want to prevent the next Lehman Brother, we need to have traditional markets update their technology. With trillions coming onchain post Genius Act, we will have two systems. One will rebalance 24/7. The other will take nights, weekends and holidays off. It's always a liquidity mismatch that causes crisis and this will be caused by outdated, legacy tech. It's time to upgrade the system. The age of crypto is upon us...like it or not. And there is no going back, @amandalfischer.
The SEC's latest crypto giveaway is to bless the same type of rehypothecation that cratered Lehman Brothers - only in crypto it's worse because you can do it without any SEC or Fed oversight. So what's going on? (thread)

The GENIUS Act now goes to the President’s desk, and the CLARITY Act moves forward to the Senate – at long last, there’s movement on workable, clear frameworks for crypto and stablecoins that will both foster innovation and protect consumers. This is exactly what the American people have been asking for.
PASSED: The GENIUS Act will create a clear regulatory stablecoin framework for asset innovators to thrive in the U.S., bring our payment system into the 21st century, and preserve the dollar’s dominance as the world’s reserve currency. A massive WIN!
