14 years later – still the honor of a lifetime to be part of the XRP family!
14 years ago, we got together with an idea to build a better way to move value. What happened next was something none of us could have built alone.
And by "us," I don't just mean the three of us.
I mean the developers, validators, businesses, community members, and everyone who helped shape XRP into what it is today.
Happy Birthday, XRP!

This took guts by the @CFTC to reverse course. I know this will be a Rorschach Test viewed differently by Dems and Republicans. But the truth is that the lawfare that was waged on many crypto firms (not all!) was absolutely wrong, unfare, unAmerican and in some cases illegal.

According to private texts between Trump’s former CFTC chair pick @BrianQuintenz and @tyler released by Quintenz last year, this was the enforcement action Quintenz refused to take a position on until he was fully confirmed as Chair.
Looks like @ChairmanSelig has sided with the Winklevoss twins in concluding the @CFTC should not have brought the @Gemini case to begin with.
The decision now rests with a judge in the Southern District of New York, who must decide whether sufficient grounds exist to vacate the consent order, a move one legal source characterized to me as “an extraordinary step.”

The “Anti-Crypto Army” was defeated…
by the courts…
by the voters.
And by Trump.
It never made policy, legal or political sense.
Combatting financial innovation only helped protect those that wanted to keep an old, often broken, system in place.

🚨NEW: President Trump says his administration is building a “future-proof” digital asset market structure that can’t be undone by “crypto haters.”
This marks the first time the president has publicly weighed in on crypto market structure since March.

The Senate Banking Committee is putting in the work as it moves the Clarity Act forward… incredible leadership!
Millions of Americans are already in this market. Ripple stands behind this bill because they deserve the same rules and protections as every other asset class. If the largest economy in the world is going to lead on crypto - and it must - this is the moment. Let's get it done!
Families, small businesses, investors, and innovators deserve clear rules of the road for digital assets.
The Senate’s version of the CLARITY Act delivers certainty, safeguards, and accountability, while protecting Main Street, strengthening national security, and keeping innovation in America.

I specifically requested the attendance of Mr. Nichols and other bank trade CEOs at the meetings we hosted back in February to resolve the stablecoin rewards/yield issue. They refused. I guess the White House was beneath them?
In their defense, I wouldn’t want to have to defend their position in public either.
American Bankers Association CEO Rob Nichols sent the following letter on Sunday to every other bank CEO in the country, asking bankers for “immediate engagement” on stablecoin yield policy.
Senate Banking Committee is slated to mark up landmark crypto bill Thursday

At its core, crypto has always been about people.
@JoelKatz, former CTO of @Ripple, stopped by #CryptoConfessions and said it simply. It's a community of people who share a love of technology, care about freedom, and believe financial services should be accessible to everyone.
A world where money flows freely and no one gets left behind. 🌍

Even when our backs were against the wall, we refused to fold.
Always great to be back for XRP Las Vegas, and even BETTER to see $XRP up in lights.

Big move for @Ripple! 🇦🇪
We’re thrilled to announce the opening of our new Middle East & Africa regional HQ in the @DIFC.
Since setting up in Dubai in 2020, the region has grown into one of our most significant global markets. This new space allows us to double our regional team and accelerate support for our clients and partners.
A huge thanks to the @DIFC for the partnership. We’re proud to be building the future of finance together

Great to catch up with @FrancisSuarez in Miami today for a quick therapy session (IYKYK!), discussing all things digital assets and the real world impact of crypto.
Apr 24
In a fireside chat on the Main Stage, Brad Garlinghouse (@Ripple) joined Mayor Francis X. Suarez to explore how blockchain, stablecoins, and evolving regulation are reshaping global finance in real time ⛓️🚀

The SEC’s first mission is to protect investors. Under Gary Gensler, the SEC clearly lost its way. He declared war on a technology.. It was an unlawful power grab…and the courts said as much.
By comparison, @SECPaulSAtkins is a breath of fresh air and sanity. He is a model of what leadership at the SEC should look like… he’s focusing on what matters - protecting investors and fostering innovations that help those investors and the markets.
Apr 20
When I took office 1 year ago, I promised a new day at the SEC. And we've delivered.
With our agenda to restore regulatory clarity, strengthen competitiveness, and accelerate innovation, we are making sure the U.S. remains the world’s strongest and safest place to invest.

🚀 wXRP is now live on @solana, enabled by @Hex_Trust and @LayerZero_Core.
Growing demand for $XRP is driving liquidity cross-chain—opening new paths across ecosystems and expanding the overall market.

Yesterday, I celebrated 11 years at Ripple. Back then, I couldn’t have predicted that we’d still be fighting for regulatory clarity.
The fight has been worth it. After a day in DC having great conversations with @SenatorHagerty, @berniemoreno, @SenatorTimScott, @JohnBoozman and @patrickjwitt - and on stage at @Semafor World Economic Summit - I know we are closer than ever.
The CLARITY Act window is open. And now is our moment to act.
"When people are at their peak frustration, that's when they finally compromise, and it gets done," @Ripple CEO @bgarlinghouse tells @JaxAlemany on his optimism for passage of the CLARITY Act. "I think we're there."

Progress > Perfection
Congress has spent the better part of half a decade trying to pass a framework to onshore the future of finance.
It is time for @BankingGOP to hold a markup and send the CLARITY Act to President Trump’s desk.
Senate time is precious, and now is the time to act.

Clear validation of @Ripple Prime’s strength, reliability and tech with today’s investment grade issuer rating from Kroll. Momentum builds when markets recognize these things.
This just in: global credit rating agency Kroll has assigned @Ripple Prime an investment grade issuer rating (BBB), reflecting the financial strength, business expansion and disciplined execution of our growing prime brokerage platform.
Built at the intersection of traditional and digital asset capabilities, Ripple Prime is meeting the demand for trusted, well-capitalized prime brokerage services. With this rating, the market is taking notice.

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!
Apr 1
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…

Great to join @FIIKSA and @MariaBartiromo this week to discuss the crypto landscape.
We’ve seen a shift in the perception of the industry from "rat poison" → "pet rock" → rewiring the financial system. Fast forward to today and some of the biggest companies around the world are asking, “Are we using stablecoins and digital assets?”
Ripple strategically focused our deal-making outside the echo chamber to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the crypto ecosystem, and those bets are paying off.

can confirm!
@rvereecke spends his days working on how Corporates will lead the next wave of crypto adoption.
Mar 11
The office of the CFO is waking up to the power of digital assets and stablecoins – looking outside of market fluctuations to the actual utility of these technologies for internal treasury operations, vendor payments, payroll and much more.
Programs like this from @Mastercard are imperative to demonstrate enterprise stability, optionality and commitment to the next phase of blockchain-based adoption.

The XRP ETFs have actually held up pretty well despite the massive pullback in price. They've taken in a cumulative $1.4 billion since launch.
