Our little V2 was getting lonely… so we went and got her a best mate the V4 RS!!!
Huge thanks to everyone at Ducati Corsa, Ducati UK, and all our sponsors for helping make this project happen (even if it’s come together a bit late!).
🇺🇸 XRP ENTERS RETIREMENT PLANS 🇺🇸
BlackRock says 80% of Americans could soon access crypto through 401(k)s. $XRP stands as one of the clearest plays for fast, compliant settlement in that shift.
Wall Street is opening the door 🚀
Where’s the first place you head to when you arrive at the Isle of Man TT?
Bray Hill?
The Grandstand?
Out on the Mountain?
Or somewhere else around the course? 🏁

Today we’re in London to launch our new report, Unlocking Innovation for Brain Tumours in the UK.
We’re bringing together industry partners, researchers, and community members to explore how we can speed up access to innovative new treatments for brain tumours.
Dear @MonicaLongSF,
I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Jungle Inc. I am a content creator focused on the XRP Ledger ecosystem and institutional crypto adoption.
I am writing today not to report on a crisis, but to sound an alarm about a generational opportunity that is actively slipping through our fingers.
We are standing at the threshold of the most explosive wave of blockchain adoption in history and it will not be driven by human users. It will be driven by AI agents.
The number of autonomous AI agents that will require on-chain payment rails in the next decade will dwarf the total number of human beings who will ever interacted with blockchain technology combined. These agents need to transact continuously, instantly and at fractions of a cent, without human oversight, without friction, and without failure.
This is the micropayment moment. The XRP Ledger was purpose-built for exactly this.
The history is right in front of us. Coil demonstrated that streaming micropayments worked. In less than a year of operation, Coil processed 10 billion payments to creators. Ten billion.
The technology was proven. The infrastructure was real. When Coil sunset in 2023, it wasn't because micropayments failed, it was because the market wasn't ready. The market is now ready. The market is arriving faster than anyone anticipated and it is wearing the face of artificial intelligence.
Every other major protocol will eventually attempt to claim this vertical. They always do. We have watched XRPL developers pioneer RWA tokenization, decentralized exchanges, and payment channel infrastructure, only to watch other chains scale those use cases while XRPL moved on. That pattern cannot repeat itself here. Micropayments are not one use case among many. They are the foundational primitive of the agentic economy. Whoever owns micropayments owns the settlement layer of AI.
XRPL must own micropayments. The ledger's sub-second finality, near-zero transaction costs and proven payment channel architecture make it the only credible candidate to serve this demand at scale. This is not a future we need to build from scratch, it is a birthright we need to claim.
@JoelKatz knows more about micropayments and the architecture of streaming value than perhaps anyone alive. Since stepping back from his CTO role, he has spoken publicly about returning to hands-on building, running his own XRPL node, researching use cases beyond Ripple's current focus, and coding again for the love of it.
Tapping David Schwartz to lead a Coil 2.0 initiative, a next-generation micropayment and AI agent payment layer built natively on XRPL, would reunite the right mind with the right mission at the right moment in history.
I also want to thank you for your thoughtful response to my last open letter on the XRPL Foundation. And to the teams at Ripple, XRPL Commons, XRPL Labs, and the XAO DAO: congratulations. The progress made in moving the XRP Ledger toward the most decentralized foundation model in blockchain is a testament to what principled, coordinated leadership can achieve.
The window is open. It will not stay open forever. Let's press our greatest advantages.
Sincerely,
Jungle Inc.
Today marks the start of Brain Tumour Awareness month. #shinealight@braintumourrsch
As someone living with a brain tumour I can’t tell you how important the work is that they do. Brain Tumours kill more people under 40 than any other cancer, but receives very little funding. 🙏
Have any of the riders come out in support for the MM decision or just the wet wipes sitting at home knowing full well if it had been anyone other than MM they'd be like 'harsh decision that'. #rentfree. 🤣
