Protocol upgrades show ambition, institutions still decide what is optional
The protocol itself is evolving toward the institutional use case, but adoption remains a choice, not a guarantee.

XRPL’s early 2026 releases show both ambition and caution. Rippled v3.1.0 introduced Single Asset Vaults and an amendment to the Lending Protocol, while v3.1.1 later disabled batch-related amendments due to a severe bug.

Have you had “deploy a stablecoin” and “build an AI agent” on your business to-do list since the beginning of the year?

You know these technologies will create business efficiencies, but finding the time to really get a grasp, a hands-on grasp, of these solutions has proved hard to find. You might even feel like you’re falling behind.

Not for long, you hard-working department head.

CoinDesk is launching the School of Stablecoins and Agentic Commerce at its upcoming Consensus 2026 conference, happening May 5-7 in Miami.

US President Donald Trump said in a press huddle that he gets "no credit" for taking a $0 salary each year. He went ahead saying that he let go of millions of dollars by "waiving" his presidential salary. Trump claimed that he's the only President to have done so, and no others waived their salaries despite being well-off and wealthy while holding the highest office of the land."I waived it. I'm the only president that ever waived it," said Trump. "We've had wealthy presidents before. In the history of our country, there's never been a president that waved his salary. I'm the only schmuck. I get no credit for it," he said. He made sure to emphasize that the salary is not a small amount, but a significant one. "It's still a couple of million bucks. It's not peanuts. "The salary of a US President is $400,000 a year, which eventually adds up to $1.6 million for a term of four years. Joe Biden's salary during the previous term was $1.6 million. Barack Obama, who served for eight years, earned $3.2 million during his time in office. Social media platforms quickly erupted with Trump supporters exclaiming, "Our President works for free.

Also, leading economist and gold proponent Peter Schiff said that Trump is making more money as President by taking a $0 salary." Trump has made billions exploiting his power as president. Why would he need a salary? That's peanuts,"

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Most investors tracking XRP are watching the wrong screen. XRP’s price action has struggled to show the scale of what has been building around Ripple, RLUSD, and the XRP Ledger. The price action is full of red monthly candles while a much broader institutional foundation is being assembled underneath it.That disconnect is what enthusiast X Finance Bull leaned on in a recent post on X. Recent developments from Ripple itself suggest that the claim is not as easy to dismiss as it once was. Ripple’s Story Is Growing Past PaymentsMany XRP community members are looking at ultra-bullish pictures for the cryptocurrency. One of such community members is X Finance Bull, who recently took to the social media platform X to highlight reasons as to why the mass adoption of Ripple, XRP, XRP Ledger, and RLUSD is already here.Related Reading: Pundit Says Stop Analyzing XRP On A Chart, Do This InsteadOne of the key points the analyst highlighted is Ripple’s strategy to build a full end-to-end treasury ecosystem setup. The setup functions as a financial operating layer that integrates with a company’s existing banks, ERP systems, and internal workflows, linking them to digital asset rails without requiring any overhaul of existing infrastructure.Enterprise platforms such as SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, and Workday are all connected through a single API layer referred to as ClearConnect. The same API layer bridges traditional rails (ACH, wire transfers, and SWIFT) with XRP settlement, RLUSD, and Ripple’s brokerage and custody infrastructure.  The most important thing in this treasury ecosystem is that Ripple is growing and no longer pitching itself only as a cross-border payments company.

Solana validator logs 32 delinquencies, foundation still claims '100% uptime' The Solana Foundation is advertising "100% network uptime since March 2023" but delegators behind the Harmonic Major validator have had an entirely different experience.

Their node has gone delinquent 32 times in the past 30 days on a stake of 625,000 $SOL, worth over $50 million, according to validator tracker Slashr.

Slashr puts that at 12 times the network average over that time period.

Unlike certain proof-of-stake blockchains, Solana doesn't slash validators for going offline, so no principal is at risk. Instead, delinquent delegators simply miss the vote credits, inflation rewards, and MEV share they would have earned.

The validator tracking service estimates the opportunity cost at roughly $413 per hour while the node is dark.

Solana validator logs 32 delinquencies, foundation still claims ‘100% uptime’



The Solana Foundation is advertising “100% network uptime since March 2023” but delegators behind the Harmonic Major validator have had an entirely different experience.

Their node has gone delinquent 32 times in the past 30 days on a stake of 625,000 $SOL, worth over $50 million, according to validator tracker Slashr.

Slashr puts that at 12 times the network average over that time period.

Unlike certain proof-of-stake blockchains, Solana doesn’t slash validators for going offline, so no principal is at risk. Instead, delinquent delegators simply miss the vote credits, inflation rewards, and MEV share they would have earned.

The validator tracking service estimates the opportunity cost at roughly $413 per hour while the node is dark.

Harmonic, the company operating that validator, hasn’t publicly addressed a single incident.

How can Solana claim uptime yet still have delinquencies?

A Solana validator is flagged delinquent once its root slot drifts far enough behind the supermajority that it’s effectively stopped voting.

Penalties on delinquent validators are entirely economic. Delegators forfeit the rewards they would have earned during the downtime but delinquencies don’t burn a stake nor force an exit from the validation system.

That distinction is the one Solana’s uptime marketing doesn’t make.

Although cluster-level uptime of the entire Solana blockchain correctly reveals 100% timeliness of the network producing blocks, the actual experience of someone staking $SOL with a validator or staking-as-a-service provider within a particular cluster can differ dramatically from that headline.

Validator-level uptime measures whether your specific node was voting.

The two numbers can diverge dramatically, and in Harmonic’s case, they have.

MemeCore hits $3.88 ATH, bulls target $5 amid strong momentum

MemeCore is a Layer 1 (L1) blockchain aiming to revolutionize the launch of tokens in a meme-native environment.

MemeCore [M] rose by more than 35% in the past hours after breaking a key resistance level and went on to print a new peak of $3.88. Can bulls maintain the price above the broken resistance level in the $3 zone?

MemeCore price action makes a new $ATH

In late March, MemeCore’s price broke out of a sideways consolidation that had held the altcoin since late November 2025. Over the past three weeks, M has been making new daily highs but struggling to break past $3.

However, the altcoin made a new all-time high ($ATH) after a surge in buying activity, indicated by the RSI Divergence flipping bullish. The RSI divergence reading was at 9, while the MACD indicator showed that buyer momentum was growing.

The breakout suggested the accumulation phase around $3 was over and M had entered a bullish momentum phase. However, price rallies tend to correct after such an aggressive breakout.

The question remains if bulls can manage to keep the price of M above $3. This would make the $5 price target remain a possibility in this second quarter (Q2) of the year.

Notably, traders could anticipate a snap-back to $3 to confirm the validity of the breakout. A successful retest would need bulls who pumped massive capital just below $3 to defend the previous supply zone that had turned to a demand zone.

Sharpe Ratio spikes: Is profit-taking looming?

The rally was driven by aggressive buys, with daily trading volume exploding by 146% to around $27.26 million. The altcoin saw the biggest volume bars since the start, indicating increased trading activity of the token.

Additionally, the number of token holders spiked to a new weekly high, reaching 6.82K from a low o
