The next era of UBRI is here. The University Blockchain Research Initiative is expanding academic commitment with three powerful moves: on.ripple.com/3LwzfDF → Advisory Council Launch: Featuring @JoelKatz and leading cryptographers from partner universities to advance onchain research and use cases. → Partnering with @usfca: Exploring how blockchain solutions can be applied to public service and law. → $RLUSD Innovation: Funding over $1.5M in renewed UBRI grants entirely in Ripple USD, our USD-backed stablecoin. This is how we're bridging the gap between research and utility.
