Ripple CTO Emeritus Fires Back at XRP Ledger Centralization Claims

David Schwartz, Ripple's CTO Emeritus, refuted claims by Justin Bons, founder of Cyber Capital, that the XRP Ledger (XRPL) is centralized due to its Unique Node List (UNL) structure. Bons argued that the UNL grants Ripple "absolute power and control," making validators permissioned. Schwartz countered that the UNL does not enable censorship or double-spending, as validators cannot force dishonest actions on individual nodes. He explained that a malicious validator would simply be ignored by honest nodes, comparing a potential attack to a chain halt rather than a security breach. Schwartz emphasized that XRPL was intentionally designed to limit Ripple's control, even under legal pressure, and that abusing power would destroy trust in the network. He also contrasted XRPL's record with Bitcoin and Ethereum, claiming no history of transaction censorship or malicious re-ordering on XRPL.

Why Has Ripple Spent $2.7 Billion In Acquisitions In 3 Years, And What Does It Have To Do With XRP?

Ripple, the largest XRP holder, has spent over $2.7 billion acquiring six companies in three years, including major purchases like Hidden Road ($1.25B), GTreasury ($1B), and Metaco ($250M). These acquisitions aim to bridge traditional and decentralized finance under CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s vision. Despite Ripple’s expansion and its treasury processing $13 trillion in non-crypto payments last year, the XRP community is concerned as these developments have not significantly boosted XRP’s price. Ripple plans to focus on integrating its acquisitions in early 2026.

Etherfi Cash launch sees ETHFI explode 17% – Are more gains coming?

Ether.fi (ETHFI) surged 17% following the launch of its new product, Etherfi Cash—a Visa card offering 3% cashback with no annual fee that integrates with Apple Pay and Google Pay. This move expands the protocol's utility from staking into real-world payments, potentially driving user adoption and increasing token demand. The rally is further supported by significant whale accumulation and strong spot market buyer dominance, indicating real demand rather than leveraged speculation. If adoption grows and buying pressure continues, the bullish momentum may target price levels around $0.640. Sustained volume and accumulation will be key to determining whether this marks a long-term trend shift.

WLFI unveils new proposal as it seeks to reset governance direction

WLFI has introduced a new governance proposal on February 25 aimed at reshaping participation, incentives, and decision-making within its ecosystem. The proposal centers on staking-based governance, requiring unlocked token holders to stake assets for voting rights, with power weighted by stake size and lock-up duration. It introduces a tiered system where larger participants gain access to features like direct stablecoin conversion and liquidity programs tied to USD1. Governance rewards of approximately 2% annually will require active involvement. The changes aim to discourage short-term speculation, reward long-term engagement, and strengthen USD1's market position. The proposal will move through a governance vote, with implementation expected in phases if approved.

XRP Investors Don’t Benefit: Analyst Says You’re Delusional If You Don’t See This

Ripple's recent acquisition of Hidden Road, rebranded as Ripple Prime, has intensified scrutiny over whether the company's expansion benefits XRP investors. Despite corporate developments, XRP's price declined over 25% in two months, fueling frustration among holders who see little return. An analyst criticized the strategy, arguing that acquisitions mainly benefit executives rather than token holders. Ripple’s broader acquisition push—including GTreasury, Rail, Standard Custody, and Metaco—aims to build vertical integration across custody, payments, and financial services. While these moves may establish long-term utility and infrastructure for XRP, short-term price action remains disconnected from corporate growth, leaving investors skeptical about sustained appreciation.

Bhutan opens to tourists – But with a $10K stake into the Solana network

Bhutan has introduced a Digital Nomad Visa requiring applicants to deposit $10,000 into TER, a gold-backed token on the Solana network. This marks a shift from its previous restrictive tourism model. However, the move comes amid a challenging period for Solana, with SOL’s price down 32% over the past month, declining open interest, reduced active addresses, and slowing development activity. While Bhutan benefits from capital inflow and digital economy support, the requirement poses risks for users given current market fragility. The country has also recently moved portions of its Bitcoin holdings, suggesting a cautious financial strategy.

Why OM trading is paused: Inside MANTRA’s rebrand, coin upgrade, and exchange suspensions

MANTRA's $OM perpetual futures trading has been temporarily paused on platforms like Coinbase Advanced and Coinbase International Exchange. This is not due to a security breach or protocol failure, but is a risk-management measure ahead of a planned, governance-approved chain upgrade and token rebrand. The upgrade involves migrating OM to the MANTRA Chain as the canonical network, retiring legacy token versions, changing the ticker to $MANTRA, and executing a 1:4 token redenomination by early March 2026. Derivatives are particularly sensitive to such changes, leading exchanges to halt perpetual futures to avoid pricing disputes. Spot trading may continue separately. Recent OM price volatility, including a sell-off and modest rebound, reflects typical pre-upgrade positioning adjustments rather than full market pricing of the changes.

Nimiq Unveils SynapTrack AML Framework to Combat Cross-Chain Crypto Laundering

Nimiq has introduced SynapTrack, a next-generation anti-money laundering (AML) framework designed to combat cross-chain crypto laundering. Developed in collaboration with researchers from the University of Birmingham, the system uses blockchain-aware pattern analysis and a self-improving algorithm to track illicit fund flows across multiple blockchains with high accuracy and significantly fewer false positives. During testing with real-world data from the 2025 Bybit breach, SynapTrack achieved a false-positive rate of less than 2%. The framework is now open for feedback and collaboration from developers, researchers, and the crypto community via https://synaptrack.co.uk/.

MoneyGram Joins Cardano’s Midnight As Federated Mainnet Validator

MoneyGram has joined Midnight, a privacy-focused blockchain built on Cardano, as a federated mainnet validator ahead of its planned March launch. This move highlights Midnight’s strategy of partnering with established, compliance-heavy operators from payments, telecom, and fintech—rather than crypto-native firms—to ensure reliability and operational stability from day one. MoneyGram, alongside partners like Vodafone’s Pairpoint and eToro, will help explore how traditional payment networks can leverage blockchain for confidential, compliant transactions without exposing sensitive data. The federated model is framed as a step toward future decentralization, signaling broader institutional adoption of privacy-enhancing blockchain infrastructure.

Tether Market Cap Slides Toward Second Straight Monthly Decline

Tether's market capitalization has declined for the second consecutive month, falling from over $186 billion in January to around $183 billion in February. This represents one of the most significant supply reductions since the 2022 crypto market turmoil. As USDT supply decreases, liquidity for trading may also diminish. However, capital appears to be rotating within the stablecoin sector rather than exiting, as competitors like USD Coin have seen growth. The total stablecoin market cap remains near $307 billion. Despite the drop, USDT continues to trade near its $1 peg, indicating sustained market confidence. Analysts are monitoring wallet transactions to assess if supply will rebound in the coming months.
