This is how Ripple and Bitso will use XRP to coordinate cross-border transactions between the U.S. and Mexico.πββοΈ
Listen closely.π
Ripple and @Bitso are expanding their long-standing payments partnership.
Bitsoβs regulated MXN-backed stablecoin, MXNB, will be issued on XRPL and integrated into Rippleβs Payments on DEX infrastructure, supporting enterprise stablecoin settlement across Latin America.
Together, RLUSD and MXNB bring regulated USD and MXN liquidity to XRPL's Permissioned DEX, helping enable real-world enterprise payment flows.

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.
400 of them are now worth over $100 million.
These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.
Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.
Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."
The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.
Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

Congratulations to the SpaceX team. We are honored to serve as joint lead bookrunner and sole stabilization agent.

Make waves on XRPL this summer.
You have 3 months to do one thing: build something new and get people using it. The best projects walk away with cash prizes and an optional path into our incubator.
Kicks off with a 2-day technical deep-dive into XRPL on June 22. All online.
-> luma.com/make-waves-on-xrpl
Build it. Ship it. Grow it.

The ocean doesnβt care, and neither does life.
The most important thing is that we keep paddling.

Ripple announced a new initiative with @Water to help expand access to safe water around the world using $RLUSD.
Coincidentally, I just received handwritten letters from first-grade students thanking me for supporting their classroom through @DonorsChoose.
The funny part?
The $50 donation came from a DonorsChoose gift card #Ripple gave attendees at #RippleSwell last year.
People often talk about Ripple's technology, but what stands out to me is their commitment to creating real-world impact.
The letters I received are a reminder that even a small act of generosity can make a lasting difference.
Thank you, @Ripple.

More than 2 billion people worldwide lack access to safe water at home.π§ Addressing the global water crisis requires collective action.
We're proud to join @Water in support of Get Blue, a campaign helping expand access to safe water for communities around the world.

The #XRPCommunity is about to make its presence felt in El Zonteβbetter known as #BitcoinBeach. π
El Salvador made history as the first country to adopt #Bitcoin as legal tender, and El Zonte helped spark the movement.

The XRP Ledger is the perfect tool for agentic payments.
Now you can easier navigate and interact with the XRPL using Claude.

AI agents are beginning to transact, pay for services, and settle value autonomously.
Today, we're introducing the XRPL AI Starter Kit, a new set of tools and integrations designed to help developers build agentic payment applications on the XRP Ledger: on.ripple.com/4v7STIm
Phase 1 includes:
β XRPL Docs MCP Server
β Claude Skills for wallet creation, payments, and transaction tracking
β X402 support for agent-to-agent payments using $XRP and $RLUSD
XRPL's fast settlement, predictable costs, and native payment functionality make it a strong foundation for agentic payments.

As AI agents begin transacting on behalf of businesses, payments need more than speed. They need trust, controls, and clear rules for how value moves.
We're helping build the infrastructure for trusted agent-driven payments, with the XRP Ledger and $RLUSD helping lay the foundation for the future of commerce.
We're pleased to be part of the ecosystem supporting @Mastercard's Agent Pay for Machines initiative, helping validate new use cases, establish common rules, and accelerate adoption.
