Ripple Makes New Demands From SEC, What Are They Asking For?

Ripple has sent a letter to the U.S. SEC's Crypto Task Force requesting regulatory clarity on payment stablecoins and tokenized securities. This follows up on a meeting held in March. Key demands include clarification on how stablecoins should be treated as collateral on balance sheets under amended Rule 15c3-1, and defining "Qualified Payment Stablecoins" for custody under Rule 15c3-3. Ripple also asked for confirmation that other major crypto non-securities, beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, receive equivalent regulatory treatment, suggesting a revision to related SEC FAQs. Furthermore, the firm proposed a 0% haircut for stablecoins under certain conditions and requested that on-chain registries be designated as the single authoritative legal record for ownership, eliminating ambiguity in digital twin structures. In a separate reaction, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse declared the "anti-crypto army" defeated, citing support from courts, voters, and former U.S. President Donald Trump, who criticized former SEC Chair Gary Gensler and vowed to codify pro-crypto legislation.

Ripple Doesn’t Move Randomly: The Strategic Moves Behind XRP’s Domination

Crypto analyst BankXRP emphasized that Ripple's recent investment in cross-chain router Squid is a strategic move to boost XRP's utility in cross-border payments. This investment connects the XRP Ledger (XRPL) to a vast ecosystem of over 1,000 apps and DeFi services across chains like Ethereum and Solana. Ripple's CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, noted the crypto space will have multiple networks, and Ripple is funding infrastructure to connect them all. Further strategic moves include issuing its RLUSD stablecoin on Ethereum and expanding custody services beyond XRPL. Separately, analyst Xaif highlighted XRPL's built-in zero-knowledge proof technology for transaction privacy, which is crucial for institutional adoption by over 300 partner banks. He also noted XRPL's fast, low-cost payments and On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) service, positioning XRP as a strong competitor to SWIFT.

Another Crypto Company Has Filed For IPO, But It’s Not Ripple

Crypto exchange Blockchain.com has confidentially filed for a U.S. IPO with the SEC, joining other crypto firms like Kraken and Grayscale in seeking a public listing. This confidential filing initiates a regulatory review process lasting several months, potentially allowing the company to time its listing with a market recovery. Blockchain.com has not yet disclosed share details or pricing. Meanwhile, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has stated the company has no immediate plans for an IPO, focusing instead on institutional adoption. Ripple's current valuation is estimated at around $50 billion. The article notes that other companies, including SpaceX, are also pursuing public offerings.

How Donald Trump’s Order On Dollar Payment Rails Could Be A Game-Changer For Ripple’s XRP

President Trump signed an executive order directing federal regulators to review whether cryptocurrency and fintech firms can gain access to the US dollar payment infrastructure, including Federal Reserve accounts. This could be a major development for Ripple and XRP. Ripple has long positioned XRP as a tool for fast, low-cost cross-border payments, but its growth has been hindered by limited access to the Fed's payment systems, which are typically reserved for traditional banks. The order mandates regulators to identify and potentially remove barriers preventing crypto firms from partnering with banks and obtaining national bank charters. If the Fed grants direct access, Ripple could integrate its technology directly into the dollar payment rails, allowing XRP to serve as a bridge asset for real-time settlements and significantly increasing its utility and demand.

Market Analyst Accuses XRP Of Being The Biggest Crypto Scam, What’s Going On?

A market analyst named Ryker has labeled XRP as the biggest scam in crypto, criticizing its high valuation despite what he claims is a lack of utility and ongoing inflation from Ripple's escrow releases. He alleges the team previously inflated the price and used celebrity promotions, particularly in South Korea, leading to significant losses for investors. In contrast, on-chain data shows substantial growth for the XRP Ledger, with a surge in new wallets and leading net flows in the real-world asset (RWA) sector, hinting at a potential price rebound. Currently, XRP is trading around $1.37.

Evernorth Says RLUSD Is Not An XRP Killer: Here’s Why

Evernorth's Chief Business Officer Sagar Shah argues that Ripple's new stablecoin RLUSD is not a replacement for XRP, as they serve fundamentally different purposes in on-chain finance. RLUSD is designed as a high-quality digital dollar, functioning as a specific asset leg in transactions. In contrast, XRP acts as a neutral "routing" or "bridge" asset on the XRP Ledger, facilitating trades between diverse tokenized assets (like treasury bills and euro stablecoins) without requiring direct matching counterparties. Shah outlines three key reasons why RLUSD cannot replace XRP's role: 1) **Issuer Risk**: RLUSD, like all stablecoins, carries the risk of its issuing entity facing regulatory or operational problems, making it unsuitable as a mandatory routing asset for all trades. 2) **Neutrality**: Stablecoins must comply with sanctions and restrictions, whereas XRP's censorship-resistant design allows it to serve as a global, permissionless router. 3) **Market Structure**: Efficient liquidity requires a common bridge asset to connect hundreds of tokenized assets, a role for which XRP's liquidity, protocol integration, and lack of issuer make it uniquely suited. The conclusion is that the growth of on-chain finance requires both a reliable digital dollar (RLUSD) and a neutral routing asset (XRP), with both functions being complementary rather than competitive.

Ripple’s Fed Master Account Bid Gains Momentum After Trump Order

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order directing financial regulators and the Federal Reserve to review expanding fintech and crypto firms' access to core payment infrastructure. This order significantly advances the industry's push for direct Fed connectivity, a central issue for Ripple. The company has been seeking a Federal Reserve master account as part of its strategy for its RLUSD stablecoin, which would allow it to hold reserves directly with the central bank and access its payment rails. The order, titled "Integrating Financial Technology Innovation into Regulatory Frameworks," mandates a Fed review within 120 days on allowing access for entities like uninsured depository institutions and non-bank financial companies, including those in digital assets. This creates a formal policy timeline for resolving whether crypto payment firms must rely on traditional bank intermediaries. Ripple's application for a national bank charter and a master account is part of this broader landscape. The issue gained precedent when Kraken Financial received a limited-purpose master account, while Custodia Bank's application was denied after a legal battle. The Fed has also proposed a more restricted "payment account" option. Trump's order does not guarantee approval for Ripple but forces a high-level examination of the regulatory barriers, bringing the company's long-running effort to the forefront of Washington's financial policy agenda.

Arthur Hayes’ Bombshell CLARITY Act Warning Just Resurfaced — And The Timing Couldn’t Be Worse

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has strongly opposed the CLARITY Act, urging for its veto. He argues that regulation is structurally incompatible with Bitcoin and decentralized systems, which derive value from operating outside regulatory frameworks. Hayes contends the bill primarily benefits centralized exchanges and institutions seeking traditional capital, not decentralized assets. He believes Bitcoin's price is driven by global liquidity and money supply, not legislation. His comments resurface as the CLARITY Act gains significant momentum, having just cleared the Senate Banking Committee with a bipartisan 15-9 vote. The bill now moves toward further reconciliation and votes, with industry warnings that delay could push action to 2030. Hayes's investment positions reflect his thesis: his largest holdings outside Bitcoin are Hyperliquid's HYPE and privacy-focused ZCash, assets rooted in decentralization rather than regulatory accommodation. This stance creates a stark divide as the crypto industry nears a potential U.S. regulatory framework.

Market Expert Updates XRP Roadmap To $300 With New Data

Market expert CharuSan has updated his roadmap for XRP, predicting a rally to $300, driven by the potential enactment of the CLARITY Act and subsequent adoption by banks via Ripple's On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) service. He argues that for large-scale, global banking transactions, XRP's current price and circulating supply are insufficient. CharuSan explains that executing multi-billion dollar transfers for thousands of banks simultaneously would create a bottleneck and cause slippage unless the token's price is significantly higher to provide the necessary liquidity depth. He cites partnerships with major infrastructure providers as a foundation for swift adoption. Currently, XRP is trading around $1.38.

Crypto Confidence Surges As Italy’s Largest Bank Doubles Holdings In Q1

Italy's largest bank, Intesa Sanpaolo, significantly increased its crypto holdings in Q1, doubling their value from about $100 million to $235 million. This shift involved moving toward established assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum through ETFs while nearly exiting its position in Solana. The bank's strategy indicates a preference for blue-chip cryptocurrencies over higher-risk alternatives. This activity aligns with a broader European trend where major banks like Spain's BBVA and France's BPCE are expanding into crypto services for clients. Furthermore, a consortium of 12 European banks, including BNP Paribas and Deutsche Bank, plans to launch a MiCA-compliant, euro-backed stablecoin in late 2026.
