I’m excited to celebrate the one-year anniversary of $RLUSD - we’ve gone from 0 to a top 5 USD stablecoin in record time. Here are some of the key milestones that defined the journey so far 👇 1/ $1B+ milestone: RLUSD officially crossed a $1B market cap in November 2025 – one of the fastest climbs in the regulated stablecoin space. Demand for trust is real. 2/ Compliance first: The OCC conditionally approved Ripple’s national trust bank charter. By pairing federal oversight with our NYDFS license, we're building the gold-standard for enterprise-grade stablecoins. 3/ Institutional infrastructure: @BNYglobal was selected to custody RLUSD reserves, further strengthening institutional trust AND attestations by Deloitte for added transparency. 4/ Bridging RWAs: RLUSD is a 24/7 off-ramp for @BlackRock BUIDL and @vaneck_us VBILL tokenized funds via Securitize, deepening its institutional utility. And @DBSbank, @FTI_Global partnered to enable repo trades for a tokenized money market fund with RLUSD, bringing stablecoins to capital markets. 5/ Global footprint: Beyond the US, RLUSD has secured key recognition in international hubs like Dubai (DFSA) and Abu Dhabi (FSRA). 6/ Multichain expansion: The future is interoperable. We’re expanding to L2s like Optimism, Base, Ink, and Unichain via @wormhole’s NTT standard. This unlocks massive demand for XRP (wXRP) liquidity across the entire ecosystem. It was undeniably the year of the stablecoin, and I can’t wait to see what 2026 has in store…. LFG!

Milestone day for the XRP community! This morning, the Bitwise XRP ETF began trading on NYSE (ticker: $XRP). With today’s launch, investors have a new, convenient way to get spot exposure to XRP, the crypto asset looking to disrupt the $250 trillion market for global payments. Why’s XRP intriguing? - One of the longest-running crypto assets (13+ years) - The XRP Army—a super passionate community of supporters - $125B market cap - Going after a huge opportunity: cross-border payments and tokenization - Operating in a crypto-forward regulatory environment, with the chance to fully unlock its potential Through crypto’s ups and downs over the past decade-plus, XRP has shown great resilience and played a key role in crypto’s move to the mainstream. We’re thrilled to launch $XRP today and contribute to the next step of XRP’s journey.
1/6 XRP has always been about moving value quickly and efficiently. Over the years, it has gone from powering payments to helping settle tokenized assets and enabling real-time liquidity across different markets.

Today, I signed the nation’s first charter for a digital asset bank. With this first-in-the-nation approach, Nebraska is leading a new era of digital payments by issuing a charter to a digital asset bank that can 'mint' stablecoins. Our message to the industry is simple: Nebraska is open for your business. Congratulations to Telcoin and @TelcoinPaul — and thank you to the @NebraskaDBF team.
