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

More good news for $RLUSD this week - @moodysratings has assigned RLUSD an A2 long-term rating and P-1 short-term rating, the highest possible short-term rating under its new stablecoin framework.  TL;DR: RLUSD is the first stablecoin to have ever received an investment-grade Moody’s rating. This is one of the most respected independent credit rating agencies in the world, and a massive validation of the quality, transparency and institutional-grade infrastructure behind RLUSD.  Moody’s assessed everything from the credit quality and liquidity of @Ripple’s reserves to redemption arrangements, custody relationships, regulatory oversight, and operational controls in their rigorous methodology.  As RLUSD continues to grow, this kind of independent validation matters more than ever. Moody’s has helped set the standard for assessing credit quality and risk across traditional finance for decades, and bringing that same level of assessment to stablecoins themselves is a major step forward for the industry. Proud to see RLUSD helping set a new benchmark for institutional trust in stablecoins. ratings.moodys.com/ratings-n…

Big partnerships call for big ambitions! We're bringing the full power of Ripple’s blockchain infrastructure to @RobinhoodApp, one of the industry's largest retail and institutional trading platforms. From $RLUSD settlement on the @XRP Ledger to prime brokerage and treasury operations, this is our end-to-end strategy in action. 🚀
Ripple is officially going under the hood. 👀 We're expanding our partnership with @RobinhoodApp across $RLUSD, Ripple Prime and Ripple Treasury, bringing together stablecoins, prime brokerage and treasury management to support both customer-facing services and core financial operations. Together, we're bridging traditional and digital. on.ripple.com/3WPPHEH

Looks like I work at a bank now 😏 (in case there were still doubts about if banks were using the XRPL 😉)
Big news heading into @RippleSwell: the @USOCC has granted final approval for Ripple National Trust Bank. This gives Ripple a federally supervised platform to support $RLUSD and provide digital asset custody to enterprises. We’ve always said crypto and banks work better together — this is what that looks like. Real innovation, real accountability, federal oversight. The revolution isn't happening outside the system. It's happening from within it.

I'd add to this in regards to XRP value capture. That especially because of the absence of a smart contract siloed ecosystem in favor of native features like a decentralized exchange makes the XRP Ledger particularly a network that makes XRP capture value more efficiently at scale than other blockchains, while maintaining being a useful system with low friction. Let XRP's value be a knock on effect of a useful and accepted XRP Ledger for assets like RLUSD and other forms of value.
The thesis is this: Low fees and reliable operation make XRPL a great place to move and hold value. That drives value flow to XRPL. XRP captures some of that value because of its unique advantages over other assets on XRPL.

I think a world where XRPL is highly successful in financial applications but XRP does not have high demand and value is very unlikely. About the only way that could happen would be if we wound up in a world with one totally dominant settlement asset. That seems unlikely to me.

Another connecting dot between Quant n Ripple👀 xitter.cf/Tokenicer/status/21096…
🌐Things are moving fast w TCH x $QNT Tomorrow the 2 are discussing the On-Chain Money Initiative via US Faster Payments Council. This is an industry led consortium with leaders in payments & finance. Key founding members include: • JP Morgan • US Fed • BNY • Goldman • Mastercard • Walmart And a short list of other F500 organizations. The discussion here specifically focuses on how TCH will connect on-chain activity with established legacy payments networks. And if you've been following along... You'd already know Overledger will be orchestrating all of that connectivity & more

haters said Ripple had abandoned the cross-border settlement use case 😂
Settlement liquidity is exactly the kind of use case @XRP Ledger and RLUSD are built to support. @Arf_One is bringing its approach to settlement liquidity to the XRP Ledger, using RLUSD to support short-term working capital for licensed payment companies as cross-border payments settle.

The beginning
.@USComptroller Jonathan V. Gould: Today’s final rule advances @POTUS Trump’s and @SecScottBessent’s vision for American leadership in digital assets. We are providing a clear, practical framework for payment stablecoin innovation, with strong standards for reserve backing, redemption, and risk management. The OCC is drawing on its longstanding supervisory expertise to support responsible growth and innovation for this new industry. occ.gov/news-issuances/news-…

The only digital asset on that list to undergo a 5 year SEC lawsuit is XRP. XRP passed Ethereum and was headed for Bitcoin and then the attacks began. When I was at the Evernorth listing at NASDAQ there was one clear message from conversations with Ripple. All roadblocks have been removed. I am so locked in!
DATA: XRP trades around $1.33, about 62.5% below its January 2018 peak, while Bitcoin, Ether and several other major cryptocurrencies have surpassed their previous highs.

I got to speak to several people from @ripple yesterday. One thing I kept hearing over and over. Only blue skies ahead from a regulatory perspective for XRP. The fight is over. We won. Lock In!

There was always a Plan B
THE BLOCK: MoonPay CLO & Former CFTC Commissioner Caroline Pham explains why crypto does not need Congress and can proceed through agency rulemaking alone. "There is very little that the CFTC's jurisdiction doesn't touch, because the way that the Commodity Exchange Act is drafted, pretty much everything is a commodity except for onions and movie box office receipts," Pham told The Block.
