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?

HMRC has published its consultation outcome in the UK regarding the taxation of DeFi activities related to lending and staking.
A particularly interesting conclusion is that when users deposit assets into Aave, the deposit itself is not treated as a disposal for capital gains tax purposes, creating a ‘no gain, no loss’ (NGNL) approach.
This is a major win for UK DeFi users who want to borrow stablecoins against their crypto collateral.
I’m proud that our team at Aave Labs participated in the consultation, advocating for DeFi and ensuring that the tax treatment of interactions with lending protocols reflects the economic reality: users are not intending to dispose of their assets when borrowing against their collateral for liquidity needs.
We’re fully supportive of this approach and hope to see these changes reflected in UK tax legislation soon.

Great meeting with @Ripple, as they advance toward securing their license to operate in Luxembourg.
We discussed their ambitions in Europe and Luxembourg, and I reaffirmed our commitment to digital innovation.

Gracias por recordarlo, Hernán. 😊 En #BBVA seguimos explorando y aplicando tecnologías como blockchain para hacer los pagos internacionales más rápidos, seguros y eficientes. Innovar para nuestros clientes siempre ha sido, y sigue siendo, parte de nuestro ADN. 💙
En 2017, #BBVA realizó la primera transferencia internacional en tiempo real entre Europa y México usando la tecnología de #Ripple.
En ese momento fue un test disruptivo: pasar de 4 días a segundos.
Hoy, mirando hacia atrás, entendemos lo que significaba:
✔️ La banca ya estaba probando blockchain real en pagos.
✔️ #Ripple se alineaba con los estándares que ahora son obligatorios (#ISO20022).
✔️ Se anticipaba la migración global que veremos consolidada en 2025.
La historia deja huellas de lo que viene.
