Bob Way wrote extensively about the important role of market makers for XRP and especially ODL. I'd recommend everyone to read through these slides. I know it's quite a lot, so it's not for the lazy, but really important to understand role of MM: xrpchat.com/topic/30745-answ… /1

Good morning America

Listen to @profgalloway Sweden is the shizzle

For decades, American politicians cited Sweden as proof that democratic socialism works. The Wall Street Journal sent a reporter there in 2026 to see for themselves. The Sweden they found is not the country Bernie Sanders describes on the debate stage. 🧵

This is very important! Will be integrated with the XRPL permissioned DEX! 👀 Finally, regulated financial institutions are able to use the DEX!

🔥 TODAY: Ripple launches the XRPL AI Starter Kit, giving developers tools to build agentic payment apps with $XRP and $RLUSD on the XRP Ledger.

🚨 BOMBAZO para Clarity Act: Decenas de EX-FUNCIONARIOS de FBI, CIA, DOJ, IRS y Servicio Secreto acaban de enviar una carta al Senado. ¿Qué piden? Que APRUEBEN Clarity YA. ¿Por qué? Porque NO debilita la lucha contra el crimen financiero. La FORTALECE. Los demócratas que se oponían acaban de quedarse sin argumento. La ley se acerca.

Oh look, Mastercard! 🔴🟠

NEW: @Mastercard expands settlement to support regulated stablecoins including $USDC, $RLUSD and $PYUSD across Ethereum, Solana, Base, Arbitrum and XRPL.

Today we go live on mainnet with the Fusion Rollup, the world's first multi-ledger rollup, connecting 74 blockchain networks in one unified environment, built for institutions. When I started @quantnetwork in 2015, the vision was simple: make blockchain work for institutions at scale across any network, without the complexity and fragmentation that's held the industry back. For years, institutions had two bad options: bet everything on a single chain, or stitch together insecure bridges across many. Fusion refuses that trade-off. It connects to many networks at once, moving assets, settling transactions, and messaging across chains as built-in capabilities, not workarounds. The breakthrough is unified assets. A example of a stablecoin like USDC or tokenised fund like BUIDL or any other digital assetspread across 7 chains collapses into one: uUSDC or uBUIDL. One asset, one liquidity pool, instead of 7 copies and 7 fragmented pools. Each stays anchored to its origin chain and is withdrawable anytime. No custody or compliance trade-offs. This isn't another layer 2 or a blockchain. It's a new category of infrastructure and it's live.

24/7 regulated crypto futures and options trading are here through @CMEGroup, and Ripple Prime is a day-one clearing partner. Institutional demand meets institutional infrastructure. Built for always-on markets.

And we’re off! @CMEGroup is officially live with 24/7 crypto futures & options trading, providing around-the-clock access to crypto derivatives. @Ripple Prime is a day one clearing and financing partner, supporting always-on markets. Fun fact: $XRP futures were the fastest ever contracts on CME to cross $1B in open interest, achieving this in just 3 months last year. The institutional demand is there, and now so is the infrastructure. cmegroup.com/media-room/pres…

Today it’s exactly 11 years since this piece of news dropped, the former CEO of DTCC joined Ripple as an advisor! A few days ago DTCC’s tokenization securities platform was announced to connect to Stellar’s public blockchain. DTCC have stated that they will connect to multiple L1 and L2 blockchains. Ripple Prime is part of DTCC’s Industry Working Group as of May 2026 and was also added to DTCC’s NSCC participant directory two months earlier in march of 2026. When this happened David Schwartz commented ”Seems important” to the news, which is something he rarely does. This gives Ripple access to handle post-trade volumes for FIs and hedge funds, alongside more traditional wall street brokers, where XRP can be utilized for fast settlement. There’s also the patent from DTCC where XRP and XLM connects to the tokenization platform, that has been widely shared on this site. Putting all this together, I find it highly likely XRPL will be officially announced by DTCC as a public blockchain connecting to the platform. It’s fascinating to witness how long this has been in the making. The timing with Clarity act doesn’t seem like a coincidence either… Exciting times! 🔥🔥🔥

Quite telling that the only two self-made Billionaires in Europe under the age of 30, are from Sweden. Both became wealthy because of AI as well, Fabian Hedin co-founded Stockholm-based Lovable. Sweden has 2.5% of the EU population.

Apparently Swedish tech founders have become a political force. 25 years and €300 billion later, it's natural. In 2000, Swedish tech was basically Ericsson and a dream. The startup ecosystem barely existed. A generation of builders was just forming, armed with cheap home computers and early broadband. Then something happened. Skype, Spotify, Mojang, King, Klarna, iZettle, Trustly and many more. A country of 10 million people built the second-highest concentration of billion-dollar companies per capita on earth, behind only Silicon Valley. The start was promising, between2000 and 2014 alone: 263 exits, €20 billion in value. More than Norway, Denmark and Finland combined. Today Swedish-founded tech represents €300 billion in market cap. Spotify alone is worth 100 billion. That is not a footnote in the Swedish economy. That is ~half of Sweden's BNP. So when people ask why tech founders now have a seat at the political table, I'd flip it. Why did it take this long? When an industry creates this much value and this many jobs for a country of 10 million, engaging with policymakers isn't a special interest play. You have to do it, like it or not. Good policy doesn't come from theory. It comes from people who've hired across 20 countries, run into the same regulatory wall 50 times, and know exactly what friction costs in real money and real talent lost to London or Amsterdam. Inner and outer security. A talent visa that answers in two weeks instead of 100 days. Options rules that let you compete with American comp packages. These aren't favors to founders. They're the difference between the next Spotify being built here or somewhere else. The critics worry about proximity between business and politics. I'd argue the real risk is the opposite: decision-makers writing tech policy without ever having talked to anyone who's actually built a tech company. Sweden spent 25 years building something extraordinary. Some of us have spent time the last few years making sure the people writing the next chapter understand what it took, and what it will take to keep going. That's not a power grab, it's part of the job.

Finland please just have a look at what has worked in Sweden during the past 20y and copy the low hanging fruits.

Enda en gründer forlater landet, i tråd med våre styresmakters incentiver. Og Sverige tar villig imot, igjen i tråd med deres styresmakters incentiver. Kanskje 🇳🇴 bør lære av 🇸🇪?🤔

I am shocked. These numbers are the % of households within each country that have investments in stocks or funds of some kind. The numbers for Finland and Sweden are as I expected, but why is everyone else behind Finland!? These are wealthier countries than Finland!

the SEC went after Ripple with everything they had while ETH walked free Hinman stood on stage and said "ETH is not a security" the same ETH that did an ICO, the same ETH that had the foundation pulling strings behind the scenes… but XRP? XRP got sued 🤔 they suppressed the one asset that actually threatened the correspondent banking system while protecting the one that didn't

This fucking guy 😂 @JoelKatz .
