I could spend all day now screaming “I knew it!“ to various people - but it‘s not worth the time. Stay humble. Good times ahead for #XRP.

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: → XRPL Docs MCP Server → Claude Skills for wallet creation, payments, and transaction tracking → 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.

If you’re working on RWAs like Ondo, you should be working with Ripple & the XRPL… The XRPL ecosystem already offers large-scale distribution for tokenized assets, backed by a 14‑year track record of reliability and uptime. Its purpose-built, fixed‑function primitives significantly reduce smart contract risk, since core behaviors are implemented at the protocol layer rather than through bespoke, mutable code. By using XRPL, RWA issuers can focus on asset design, compliance, and distribution instead of reinventing infrastructure and exposing themselves to unnecessary smart contract vulnerabilities.
$ONDO is up 17.9% today following a successful tokenized Treasury settlement pilot with Ripple, Mastercard, and JPMorgan.

The secret sauce is simple 1/ give Corporates a trusted, regulated entry point embedded in workflows they already use, 2/ remove the friction between managing different accounts (fiat or digital). Both of those are now solved today with Ripple Treasury. Ripple Treasury is on a tear – last year facilitating $13T in payments for customers. This year, with the addition of native digital asset capabilities? LFG!
From the moment GTreasury became @Ripple Treasury, we’ve been building to this – giving Corporates a clear, trusted entry point into digital assets. With the addition of Digital Asset Accounts and Unified Treasury, Ripple Treasury gives the office of the CFO a trusted, single place to hold and manage both digital and fiat assets. Next up, connecting to Ripple’s regulated payments network and prime brokerage that allow Corporates to use digital assets and stablecoins to orchestrate cross-border intercompany payments, 24/7 yield on idle cash and so much more. Corporate treasury has never had a solution like this before. Check it out ripple.com/ripple-press/ripp…

Introducing the first native onchain capabilities in an enterprise treasury management system – today @Ripple Treasury is adding Digital Asset Accounts and Unified Treasury to give CFOs the ability to view, hold, receive and manage fiat and digital liquidity in their existing dashboard. No separate interface, no new workflows and no need to navigate crypto on your own. Corporates, your starting point into digital assets is at treasury.ripple.com. ripple.com/ripple-press/ripp…

This is how XRP was used as a bridge asset in the last 24h. 477 auto-bridging events occurred. EUROP / RLUSD - 124 events (most active) RLUSD / BBRL ( Braza Bank Brazilian Real Stablecoin) - 67 events USDC / RLUSD - 46 events Interestingly, RLUSD appears in majority if auto-bridging event. Clearly the most actively traded currency against other currencies where XRP gets used as the bridge. > Total of ~15,000 XRP was used to provide liquidity for better exchange rates. > 92% of all trades are Token/XRP pairs > 8% of all trades are Token/Token pairs out of all Token/Token trades, 0.8% were auto-bridged. For the BBRL events, those amounts were small trades but still enough to trigger auto bridging. The XRPL DEX is so efficient that you can trade tiny amounts without friction. XRP loves tokenization - long tail of assets.

DeSo can’t be banned, not even by Spain. 🇪🇸 Users in Spain can freely adopt and use on-chain social apps to post content and communicate with friends, while avoiding the tyranny of their government.
Today, Telegram notified all its users in Spain with this alert: Pedro Sánchez’s government is pushing dangerous new regulations that threaten your internet freedoms. Announced just yesterday, these measures could turn Spain into a surveillance state under the guise of “protection.” Here’s why they’re a red flag for free speech and privacy: 1. Ban on social media for under-16s with mandatory age verification: This isn’t just about kids—it requires platforms to use strict checks, like needing IDs or biometrics. ⚠️ Danger: It sets a precedent for tracking EVERY user’s identity, eroding anonymity and opening doors to mass data collection. What starts with minors could expand to all, stifling open discourse. 2. Personal and criminal liability for platform executives: If “illegal, hateful, or harmful” content isn’t removed fast enough, bosses face jail. ⚠️ Danger: This will force over-censorship—platforms will delete anything remotely controversial to avoid risks, silencing political dissent, journalism, and everyday opinions. Your voice could be next if it challenges the status quo. 3. Criminalizing algorithm amplification: Amplifying “harmful” content via algorithms becomes a crime. ⚠️ Danger: Governments will dictate what you see, burying opposing views and creating echo chambers controlled by the state. Free exploration of ideas? Gone—replaced by curated propaganda. 4. “Hate and polarization footprint” tracking: Platforms must monitor and report how they “fuel division.” ⚠️ Danger: Vague definitions of “hate” could label criticism of the government as divisive, leading to shutdowns or fines. This can be a tool for suppressing opposition. These aren’t safeguards; they’re steps toward total control. We’ve seen this playbook before—governments weaponizing “safety” to censor critics. On Telegram, we prioritize your privacy and freedom: strong encryption, no backdoors, and resistance to overreach. ✊ Stay vigilant, Spain. Demand transparency and fight for your rights. Share this widely—before it’s too late.

The case for native crypto assets like $XRP just got better. If Gold can fall >10%, silver >30% in a 24h period.. maybe this makes digital asset volatility more tolerable for institutional decision makers.

DeSo is not going anywhere. DeSo is the world's only blockchain for content, it is actually decentralized, and I couldn't shut it down or censor a piece of content even if I wanted to. Today, DeSo is the only place on the entire internet that I'm aware of where your content and your social account cannot be censored by anyone. This is because content is stored natively on a fully-decentralized blockchain, not on a centralized company's servers. It is not possible for a private company to "acquire" DeSo, and in fact no corporate entity owns or controls it. DeSo is for content what Bitcoin is for money, and it is currently the only check we have on the centralized content systems that are dominant today. My team and I have also built the Focus app on DeSo's infrastructure, and today Focus is the only platform I'm aware of where you can sell content for crypto. Focus supports tips, paid content, paid end-to-end encrypted messages, and even subscriptions, all via anonymous crypto payments that can't be censored. It has also been growing over the past few months as creators have begun to find value in monetizing their content via crypto. We built DeSo from the ground up to support absolute free speech. Not "kinda sorta free speech." Not "post whatever you want unless some people don't like it" speech. Free speech means nobody can censor you, not even the people who built the platform. And it includes being able to pay for and monetize your content without censorship as well. You can think of DeSo and Focus as the world's complete anti-censorship stack. DeSo is the infrastructure (the blockchain) and Focus is the app built on top. In addition, I want to be clear that I and my team plan on supporting DeSo and Focus indefinitely. As mentioned, it is not possible for any one individual to shut DeSo down, as many at the highest levels have now realized the hard way. However, continued investment in the underlying infrastructure and on the flagship app ensures that everything will continue to scale as more users adopt DeSo, and ensures that your content will continue to be safe even as post-quantum threats emerge. A reminder that every line of code that powers the DeSo blockchain is fully open-source and public under the deso-protocol/core repo on GitHub. This means anyone can contribute and, furthermore, that any contributions my team makes are immediately a part of the public good that is DeSo. This model of open-source iteration directly mirrors that of Bitcoin and the Linux operating system. In 1991, Linus Torvalds created the Linux operating system because he was passionate about an open and free alternative to existing closed-source operating systems. Today, more machines run Linux than any other operating system, albeit in a different form than he originally envisioned (on servers vs on consumer pcs). Nevertheless, for me, the creation of DeSo came from the same kind of passion. It is the Linux of content, and it is currently the only true economically-sustainable alternative we have to a world dominated by centralized, extractive walled-gardens. DeSo is and will remain an open-source public good that I believe will only continue to grow as more and more people realize its value.

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!

The 4 key reasons why I prefer $XRP over something like $CC / Canton Network: 1) limited supply vs. unlimited supply 2) open vs permissioned network (with all its implications on composability and growth) 3) low/ no fees vs. fee based token model 4) community

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?
