Read this integration and weep @ScamDetective5 it’s called adoption $XRPL
Bitget Wallet 🩵@BitgetWallet
Excited to announce XRP Ledger as a Key Payments Partner for Bitget Wallet! We're not just adding XRPL as a network. XRP Ledger has been cooking hard on payment rails & this collab will accelerate our real-world crypto payments. Full native integration starts now with #XRPL 🧵

@wealthyanon Coinbase is a straight-up bad actor in crypto. Their “pay-to-list” racket charges 10s of millions for a token listing, they front-run listings, and kept the Songbird tokens Flare tried to distribute to XRP holders.
This isn’t an exchange — it’s a self serving gatekeeper

The CLARITY Act passed the House 294-134. a16z backed it. Ripple backed it. The White House backed it. The crypto industry spent $149M to make this moment happen.
Then Brian Armstrong killed it the night before the Senate vote.
Why? Because stablecoin yield restrictions would eat into Coinbase's $1.35B annual stablecoin revenue.
One company's P&L just held an entire industry's regulatory future hostage. On March 25, Coinbase formally rejected the bill a second time.
The odds of CLARITY Act passage in 2026 now sit at 18%.
This isn't leadership. It's self-interest dressed up as principle.

Read this before you react to the Fed today:
XRP surpassed 7.7 million non-empty wallets for the first time in its 13-year history, with active addresses hitting a five-week peak of 46,767 on March 16.
Tokenized commodities on XRP have grown from $111 million to $1.14 billion in 2026, giving XRP over 15% of global tokenized commodities.
Daily transactions on the XRP surged to nearly 3 million in the last week, with AMM pools increasing to 27,000.
Those metrics are the same at 3.5% or 3.75%.

BREAKING: Ethereum is now projected to lose its spot as the second largest cryptocurrency.

@Belisarius2020 A SaaS company usually needs around $5B ARR (give or take) to justify a $50B valuation, unless it has extraordinary growth where $2–3B ARR could support it. Hidden Road added $100M so unlikely just their SaaS revenue contributing to this valuation.
English
That tells me something about the implied valuation of Ripple’s main asset: $XRP

@digitalassetbuy @XRP_Zach @bgarlinghouse This post explains why you’re not a CEO. It makes no sense as it assumes hidden escrow deals & secret option structures, coordinated to inflate value. In reality, public ledgers, accounting rules, governance, and IPO regulations make that scenario impractical and legally risky.
English
"If I Were Ripple Theory" @bgarlinghouse
1. I would create an XRP Escrow
2. I would option parts of the escrow to institutions and/or governments for later use
3. I would make everyone assume that I owned it all and would keep XRP off my balance sheet
4. I would grow Ripple into a massive infrastructure company for over a decade
5. When I was ready to go IPO I would reveal who owned what, put my portion of XRP on the balance sheet and drive the value of the company and XRP to the moon as I announce XRP's deployment.
That's just what I would do.

@ChainLinkGod So Ripple, whose business units span treasury management, prime brokerage, a global payments network, and revenue from backing their USD stablecoin, apparently has no other income streams but XRP sales. But Chainlink does? Ok.
English
For those following along.
Chainlink uses offchain and onchain revenue for $LINK token buybacks, there is no competing set of equity investors siphoning value away
Ripple sells $XRP tokens to retail to fund Ripple Labs share buybacks and has never bought back any $XRP, socializing costs, privatizing gains
English
Ripple is doing stock buybacks of Ripple Labs shares, presumably using capital obtained from XRP sales
Never seen a more prominent example of the token vs equity problem plaguing the crypto industry
But I’m sure XRP retail will explain how this is good for their bags actually

[ ZOOMER ] RIPPLE KICKS OF EQUITY SHARES BUYBACK FROM EARLIER INVESTORS, BUYING $750M AT A $50B VALUATION: BBG
English
@ChainLinkGod For those following along.
Ripple: monthly supply mechanics are visible on-chain and supplemented by public reports.
Chainlink: token economics were disclosed at launch, but ongoing founder holdings and distributions are not disclosed in any structured way.
English
@rog_mccarthy If you think Ripple made $750M in revenue from non-token sale activities, and that’s what they’re using for stock buybacks instead of the free capital they got from their sales of zero cost basis premined XRP coins, I have a bridge to sell you
English
@ChainLinkGod Ripple has many revenue streams and there sales of XRP are published monthly. Please point be to Chainlinks founders disclosures. I’ll wait.
English
@rog_mccarthy It would have to be an untrue statement to be considered defamatory

@antpalkin Do you really think @DavidSacks would even bother for 50k?

Trump's crypto advisor aka "Czar" David Sacks is insider trading on Polymarket.
He knows in advance when Trump will say something related to crypto.
$187k profit. 90% win rate in the mentions category.
He makes $30-50k from each of Trump's public appearances.
His profile: @EscalateFund" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">polymarket.com/@EscalateFund
Peak boomer hobby - fun and profitable.
Longest win streak: 51 in a row.
Bookmark his wallet: if this guy bets that Trump will say something, then Trump will definitely say it.
Pro tip: skip his NBA trades - dude yolo's on his favorit team (they are losers)

@ScamDetective5 Didn’t think you were a fan of centralization. LN remains highly centralised meaning liquidity and routing power concentrate heavily in a small set of well-funded hubs. In short it’s a pile of shit.

This is what’s killing the “fast and cheap” shitcoin chains.

Last year @Ripple agreed a payments partnership with UAE bank @Official_Zand
We’re now extending this partnership to explore a range of initiatives, from enabling support for Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin within Zand’s regulated digital asset custody, to direct liquidity solutions between RLUSD and Zand’s AED-denominated stablecoin AEDZ, to the issuance of AEDZ on the XRPL 🚀
Zand@Official_Zand
Zand and @Ripple, the leading provider of blockchain-based enterprise solutions across traditional and digital finance, are partnering to help advance and support the digital economy, with innovative solutions powered by the Zand AED (AEDZ) stablecoin and Ripple’s USD (RLUSD) stablecoin. Leveraging stablecoins, blockchain technology, and tokenization, can unlock powerful new use cases as traditional finance moves on-chain, and this partnership represents a significant step forward in the growth of the digital asset ecosystem. #Zand #Ripple #Stablecoin #DigitalEconomy

That didn’t take long! The last validator just voted yes, so the two week countdown for the Permissioned DEX has started! 👍
Anders 🏁🌏@X__Anderson
✅ XLS-80 Permissioned Domains is now activated on XRPL! We’re only one yes vote away from the Permissioned DEX amendment to begin the 2 week countdown! When both these amendments are activated, institutions (and others) will be able to start utilizing the permissioned DEX! 👏

Where is Spain heading?!
English
Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:
Starting next week, my government will implement the following actions:
First, we will change the law in Spain to hold platform executives legally accountable for many infringements taking place on their sites.
Second, we will turn algorithmic manipulation and amplification of illegal content into a new criminal offense.
Third, we will implement a hate and polarization footprint system to track, quantify, and expose how digital platforms fuel division and amplify hate.
Fourth, Spain will ban access to social media for minors under the age of 16. Platforms will be required to implement effective age verification systems — not just checkboxes, but real barriers that work.
Fifth and last, my government will work with our public prosecutor to investigate and pursue the infringement committed by Grok, TikTok, and Instagram.

Ripple is proud to support Billiton Diamond and @CtrlAltCo who have tokenized over AED 1 billion ($280m) of certified polished diamonds on the XRPL.
This initiative shows how @Ripple's technology can bridge the gap between physical assets and the digital economy, utilising our enterprise-grade custody solution to secure high-value diamond assets with unrivalled trust and security.
By providing the infrastructure needed to move physical commodities onchain at scale, we are helping to set a new standard for transparency and efficiency in global finance.
A significant leap forward for the future of commodities tokenization. 💎🇦🇪
