Massive news 🚀 @Ripple
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.

Momentum in institutional tokenisation isn’t slowing down. Huge congratulations to the @AvivaInvestors team on expanding their tokenised fund footprint with the launch of a new tokenised share class for their Sterling (GBP) Liquidity Fund, built directly on the #XRPLedger#. Following the rollout of their USD Liquidity Fund tokenised share class this past July, this latest milestone positions Aviva Investors as one of the largest tokenised Money Market Fund providers in Europe. Real-world utility, enterprise-grade liquidity, and traditional asset management converging on @Ripple’s trusted infrastructure. The future of capital markets is being built on the XRPL today.

Great to partner with @arf_one on this 👏
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.

Proud of our continued momentum in Türkiye. This partnership with @InveoKripto represents a key step in expanding RLUSD's global availability, delivering a secure and regulated stablecoin experience. Congratulations to everyone at @Ripple and Inveo for making this happen!

A little over a year ago, Ripple announced its expansion into the Kingdom of Bahrain. Last week, I was back in the Kingdom for FIntech Forward where we hosted an after hours event with @FinTechBay & @TheMENAFintech Bahrain was one of the first countries to regulate crypto assets, and that early clarity is paying off. This year’s theme was finance in the age of intelligent infrastructure, and the discussion was refreshingly practical: how institutions deploy blockchain-based infrastructure at scale, and what regulators and industry need to get right to make that happen. Clear rules attract institutions, and institutions attract the builders who create the next layer on top. Bahrain has understood that for a long time. Thanks to everyone who came to our event and I look forward to spending more time in the Kingdom as our business there grows.

Great to see @Ripple Prime deepen our relationship with Brevan Howard, now providing multi-asset prime brokerage, clearing and financing across their funds. TradFi and digital markets are converging, and top-tier managers want one regulated platform for both 🚀

Ripple is at @istfintechweek this week, right at the heart of one of the world's fastest-growing digital asset markets. Türkiye's crypto growth didn’t occur by accident. Retail investors led the way, turning to crypto as a practical hedge against currency pressure. Now institutions are following, backed by a regulatory framework that's rapidly maturing. I'd recommend this article on why this market matters, and how Ripple's custody and stablecoin infrastructure is helping banks and exchanges bring the benefits of digital assets to Turkish users.

This is a big deal 🚀 #XRPL#
A licensed central securities depository is recording securities ownership on a public blockchain for the first time — on the XRP Ledger. 🇧🇷 CSD BR is partnering with Ripple to bring Brazil's regulated capital markets onchain, starting with BTG Pactual fund shares, secured by Ripple Custody.

On stage at the MESA Forum with @HSBC, @BlackRock, @Mashreq, and @RAKBANK, discussing stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and tokenized MMFs. We started with a competition framing, but landed somewhere else! They aren't rivals, they have 3 distinct jobs: 🟢 Stablecoins: The always-on layer moving value between institutions without existing relationships (why $RLUSD was built not to replace bank money, but to let it travel). 🟢 Tokenized Deposits: Keep bank money inside the existing perimeter, ideal for known counterparties. 🟢 Tokenized MMFs: Treasury yield & collateral, less of a payment vehicle. The real question for the GCC isn't which wins! It's how well they connect. The UAE isn't debating if it’s open for business; it's actively building. Excited to keep leaning in with @Ripple 🇦🇪

Honoured to share my perspective with @DIFC for Leaders on the Move on the evolving regulation of digital assets, Ripple’s expansion across the Middle East & Africa, and the critical role DIFC plays in supporting that growth. Clear regulatory progress in the region is unlocking real opportunity, particularly for the XRPL to power more efficient cross-border payments and the tokenization of real-world assets. Thank you to Laura Buckwell and the entire DIFC team for the conversation. Exciting times ahead for @Ripple across the region

Proud to see @Ripple’s UBRI renewing its partnership with @NYUAbuDhabi through 2027. As someone based in the UAE, it’s especially meaningful to watch NYUAD continue strengthening its role as a regional hub for blockchain research and talent development. The work led by Professors Raša Karapandža and Yaw Nyarko at CTED, including the expansion of the Volta Initiative and hands-on research on the XRP Ledger is a great example of turning decentralised technology into real-world impact. Excited for the next chapter of innovation coming out of Abu Dhabi. 🚀
