Do you want another ripple:native thesis on how Ripple is positioning XRP to modernize the whole financial system? Look at private credit. This is one of those markets most people never think about because it does not move like stocks, crypto, or even government bonds. A private-credit loan can be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The borrower pays interest. The lender earns a return. The asset itself can be valuable. But there is one huge problem. It can be extremely hard to move. That is exactly what caught my attention in the Sandy Kaul and Anant Kumar discussion. Anant Kumar, from Benefit Street Partners, described the issue in a very simple way. Private credit has limited ownership. And it has almost no real secondary-market liquidity. A lender can originate a huge loan, but once that loan is sitting inside a fund, selling pieces of it is not as simple as selling a stock. That capital can stay trapped. Now imagine the same loan becoming digital. Not changing the economics of the loan. Not changing who the borrower is. Not changing who remains lender of record. Just changing how ownership can be represented. Instead of one giant $100M position sitting inside one structure, that loan could be represented as millions of smaller digital interests. Suddenly something that was hard to divide becomes divisible. Something that barely traded could potentially develop a secondary market. Something trapped inside one fund could become easier to distribute among approved investors. That is the part people should focus on. Because this is not some random idea coming from crypto Twitter. Sandy Kaul is Head of Digital Assets and Innovation at Franklin Templeton. Franklin Templeton manages roughly $1.78T. Anant Kumar is from Benefit Street Partners. And Franklin Templeton itself just closed a $1.5B Collateralized Fund Obligation tied to private equity secondaries and U.S. middle-market direct lending through Benefit Street Partners. So when they are talking about the problem of private-credit liquidity, they are talking about a market they actually operate inside. And this is where my ripple:native thesis gets much bigger. Because XRP Ledger is being built around the exact same problem. Not just payments. Not just moving stablecoins. Credit. Liquidity. Tokenized ownership. Secondary markets. Institutional lending. Collateral. That is what starts connecting everything. Private credit is already one of the largest categories inside tokenized real-world assets. Franklin Templeton’s own research says tokenized RWAs grew from around $5B in 2023 to more than $25B by early 2026. Private credit, Treasuries and real estate make up a major part of that growth. That tells me something important. Wall Street is not only tokenizing cash. It is beginning to tokenize assets that traditionally sit in some of the least liquid corners of finance. And private credit may be one of the biggest opportunities because liquidity is exactly where the pain is. Now look at XRPL. In 2025, VERT launched structured-credit infrastructure using XRP Ledger and its EVM sidechain. Its first live transaction was a BRL 700M Agribusiness Receivables Certificate. Roughly $130M. That is real structured credit. Recorded through infrastructure using XRPL. So when I hear Sandy Kaul and Anant Kumar talking about tokenizing private loans, I do not have to imagine whether XRPL could ever touch this market. It already has. That is only the beginning of the setup. The bigger piece is what Ripple is building directly into the network. The XRPL Lending Protocol. This is where everything starts making sense. Ripple has been very clear about the next stage of tokenization. Putting an asset onchain is not enough. A Treasury token sitting in a wallet is still just an asset sitting in a wallet. A private-credit token sitting in a wallet is still just a loan represented digitally. The real transformation happens when those assets can enter functioning capital markets. Borrowing. Lending. Liquidity. Collateral. Credit. That is exactly where the XRPL Lending Protocol is headed. Ripple explicitly names private credit among the assets that can move into this infrastructure, alongside Treasuries, money-market funds, stablecoins and commodities. That is a huge detail. Because private credit is not some side use case Ripple accidentally fits. It is literally one of the categories they are building around. Now add XLS-65. The Single Asset Vault design. This allows assets from multiple depositors to be pooled into one onchain vault. And that vault can hold XRP. Trust-line tokens. Or Multi-Purpose Tokens. Think about what that means in plain English. Today, one large institution may have to fund a giant private loan. Tomorrow, capital can potentially be pooled digitally. Thousands of approved investors contribute. The capital sits inside a common structure. A loan gets funded. The returns flow back through that structure. That is extremely close to what Anant Kumar is talking about when he says one loan could be split into smaller pieces. Now add XLS-66. The Lending Protocol. Fixed-term, uncollateralized lending. Credit underwriting stays offchain. The actual loan can be created and managed onchain. That detail matters more than people realize. Private credit is not anonymous DeFi. The borrower is evaluated. Creditworthiness matters. Interest matters. Terms matter. Default matters. Underwriting matters. XRPL is not trying to throw away that traditional credit process. It is trying to put the financial infrastructure around it onchain. That is why this feels much more institutional than a normal crypto lending protocol. And then you get to the liquidity problem. This is where Anant Kumar’s point becomes the whole thesis. Private-credit loans barely trade. If investors want redemptions, funds can have a problem. The assets may be good. The borrowers may be paying. But there may not be a deep market to sell into. That is trapped capital. Tokenization attacks that directly. Imagine one $100M private loan. Instead of treating it as one huge block, it becomes millions of smaller digital interests. Approved institutions can own pieces. Funds can rebalance. Banks can distribute exposure. Ownership can move without the whole loan changing hands as one giant object. Now put those interests on XRPL. They can be issued digitally. Held digitally. Transferred digitally. Settled digitally. Traded inside controlled markets. Used inside lending infrastructure. That is a completely different market structure. And XRPL is also building the control layer institutions need. Permissioned Domains. Permissioned DEXes. Credentials. Deep Freeze. Confidential Transfers. This is important because a bank is not going to take a $500M private-credit position and make it freely available to every random wallet in the world. Institutions need to control who can hold these assets. Who can trade them. Which jurisdiction they come from. Whether they satisfy eligibility rules. XRPL is being built for exactly that. You can have public blockchain infrastructure while still creating controlled markets where only approved participants transact. That solves one of the biggest objections banks have to permissionless finance. They do not need to choose between old closed systems and completely open anonymous markets. They can have digital assets with institutional rules built around them. That is where Permissioned DEXes become powerful. Imagine a tokenized private loan. Only approved investors can trade it. The loan still exists. The lender still exists. The borrower still exists. But now there is a secondary market. A fund needs liquidity? It can sell part of the position. Another institution wants exposure? It can buy a smaller piece. The market no longer depends on one giant bilateral transfer. That is how tokenization can start unlocking liquidity. And the more I look at this, the more I think ripple:native is being positioned for a much bigger role than people realize. Because every new tokenized asset creates another liquidity problem. Private credit token A. Private credit token B. Treasuries. Money-market funds. Stablecoins. Commercial paper. Tokenized deposits. Fund interests. Every asset needs somewhere to trade. Every institution needs somewhere to move value. Every market needs liquidity. You cannot have deep direct markets between every possible pair. That is where a common bridge asset becomes valuable. Private-credit token → ripple:native → RLUSD. RLUSD → ripple:native → another private-credit token. A European institution holds EUR liquidity and wants a U.S. private-credit position. EUR liquidity → ripple:native → RLUSD → tokenized credit. A fund wants to exit one credit position and move into another. Credit token A → ripple:native → RLUSD → credit token B. The more markets appear, the more possible routes exist. And the value of a common liquid bridge increases with the number of things it can connect. That is the part I think people still underestimate. ripple:native does not need every private-credit transaction to use XRP. It needs XRP to become useful wherever direct liquidity is weak. If XRPL becomes home to hundreds or thousands of tokenized credit instruments, there will always be fragmented liquidity somewhere. That is where deep XRP markets become valuable. Now add another piece that gets almost no attention. XRP itself can sit inside XLS-65 vault infrastructure. So XRP does not only have a potential role as bridge liquidity. It can also become pooled capital. That creates a completely different path. XRP goes into a vault. Vault capital gets pooled. The lending infrastructure uses that capital. Borrowers receive credit. Interest flows back through the structure. Now XRP is not just moving between markets. It is potentially sitting inside the capital base of the credit market itself. That is where the phrase “XRP utility is growing across payments, liquidity and credit markets” starts to make much more sense. Those are three completely different engines. Payments move value. Liquidity connects assets. Credit makes capital productive. Ripple is building around all three. Then you have ZILO and Licuido. Ripple invested in both to expand regulated transfer agency, tokenized issuance and collateral mobility on XRPL. That matters because a private-credit market is not just about issuing a token. Someone has to manage ownership records. Transfers. Servicing. Restrictions. Collateral. Secondary transactions. Settlement. If Ripple keeps adding these pieces, XRPL starts looking less like a blockchain with tokens on it and more like an operating system for financial assets. That is why Sandy Kaul’s broader thinking matters too. She has argued that blockchain is moving toward becoming a universal liquidity layer. Stablecoins. Tokenized cash. Lending. Collateral. Those are exactly the pieces appearing around XRPL. And I think private credit could be where this becomes impossible to ignore. Because the pain is so obvious. Imagine owning a valuable asset you cannot easily sell. That is private credit today. Imagine a fund holding billions in loans that barely trade. The assets are generating income. But if investors suddenly want cash, the fund cannot just tap a button and sell a fraction instantly. That is a huge weakness. Tokenization changes the unit of ownership. XRPL changes the infrastructure around that ownership. Permissioned markets change who can trade it. Lending turns those assets into productive capital. ripple:native can connect the liquidity between everything. That is the full setup. And now take it to the bullish extreme. Imagine private-credit managers start tokenizing at scale. A $500M fund does not hold 50 giant, isolated loan positions anymore. Each one becomes digitally represented. A $100M loan becomes 100M digital units worth $1 each. Approved investors can own smaller pieces. Funds can rebalance positions instead of selling whole loans. Banks can distribute exposure. Family offices can participate. Institutions can move capital without waiting for one buyer willing to absorb the entire block. Now imagine those assets living on XRPL. A fund wants to raise liquidity. It sells tokenized interests through a Permissioned DEX. Another approved institution takes the other side. Settlement happens digitally. RLUSD provides the dollar liquidity. XRP can bridge where direct liquidity is thin. The fund gets cash. The buyer gets credit exposure. The loan keeps performing. Nothing has to be dismantled. That is a much more efficient market. Then lending infrastructure goes live. An institution holds $200M of tokenized private credit. It does not want to sell. It wants liquidity. Instead of exiting the position, it uses that asset inside XRPL credit infrastructure. Capital gets unlocked. The institution receives liquidity. Moves into RLUSD. Then routes part of that capital through XRP into EUR. Now look at what XRP is sitting between. Private credit. Stablecoin liquidity. FX. Lending. Collateral. Global settlement. That is not a small use case. Now scale it. $100B of private credit on XRPL. Then $500B. Then $1T. Thousands of tokenized loans. Thousands of institutions. Loans constantly being issued. Traded. Financed. Pledged. Refinanced. Settled. Each new asset adds another market. Each new market needs liquidity. Each new participant creates another flow. And a common liquid bridge becomes more valuable as the network gets more complex. That is where ripple:native can become institutional credit-market liquidity. Not just a payment token. Not just a crypto trade. Liquidity sitting underneath a digital credit economy. And if that starts happening at hundreds of billions or trillions in scale, the XRP price conversation changes too. Market makers need inventory. Liquidity providers need inventory. Vaults can hold XRP. More XRP gets deployed inside financial infrastructure. The amount of financial value XRP markets have to support gets larger. If XRP is worth $1, $1B of XRP liquidity requires 1B XRP. At $10, it takes 100M. At $100, 10M. The higher the value of XRP, the more dollar liquidity each unit can represent. So if XRPL ever becomes a serious home for institutional private credit, the market may eventually have to price XRP around a completely different economic role. That is the thesis I keep coming back to. Sandy Kaul is talking about tokenizing private credit. Anant Kumar is talking about solving access and liquidity. Benefit Street Partners is operating directly in that market. Franklin Templeton is already deep in private markets. VERT has already put real structured-credit activity onto XRPL infrastructure. Ripple is building the Lending Protocol. XLS-65 can pool capital. XLS-66 can create fixed-term credit. Permissioned DEXes can create controlled secondary markets. Credentials can control eligibility. ZILO and Licuido expand issuance and collateral mobility. And ripple:native sits inside the liquidity and credit architecture. These are not separate stories to me anymore. They are all pieces of the same direction. Credit becomes digital. Digital credit becomes easier to divide. Divided credit becomes easier to trade. Tradable credit needs liquidity. Liquidity needs infrastructure. XRPL is being built for that infrastructure. And ripple:native can become part of the capital moving underneath it. That is why I think this private-credit conversation is one of the most underrated ripple:native theses right now. The endgame is not simply banks sending XRP across borders. The endgame could be XRP sitting inside a financial system where trillions of dollars of loans, Treasuries, stablecoins, funds and collateral move through the same liquidity network. That is a much bigger market than payments alone. And if Ripple gets this right, private credit may end up being one of the places where the world finally understands what they have been building. Remember this thesis when private credit starts moving onchain. If you understand where private credit is heading, you understand why I’m watching ripple:native.

🚨 A MULTI-TRILLION-DOLLAR CREDIT MARKET IS MOVING ONCHAIN🚨 VS1 Finance is building the institutional standard on the $XRP Ledger while preparing live issuance under the NATIONAL BANK OF GEORGIA'S REGULATORY SANDBOX GLOBAL PRIVATE CREDIT IS PROJECTED TO REACH $4.5 TRILLION BY 2030. Now VS1 Finance has been selected by the XRP Ledger Foundation to build an open-source reference application for permissioned, compliant lending on XRPL. This matters because tokenizing a bond is only step one. Real capital markets need more: -The ability to borrow against that bond. -Pools where approved lenders can supply liquidity. -Rules for interest, repayment and defaults. Secondary markets where the asset can move instead of sitting frozen in one wallet. VS1 is combining XRPL Credentials, Permissioned Domains, Multi-Purpose Tokens, Single Asset Vaults and the Lending Protocol into one framework institutions can study, copy and build from. A company could issue a corporate bond on XRPL. Verified investors could hold it. The bond could enter a compliant market. Its owner could potentially use it inside an underwritten credit facility instead of selling it. That is how tokenized assets become productive capital. Georgia’s central bank has already opened a regulatory sandbox for tokenized bonds, and VS1 is preparing bond issuance infrastructure for the region. The lending amendments still require validator approval. But the direction is clear. XRPL is expanding from moving money into issuing assets, managing liquidity and executing credit. Every transaction requires XRP for fees. XRP can also bridge assets through XRPL’s native exchange when it provides the most efficient route. The ledger does not need to capture the entire $4.5T market. Even a small share could bring a completely different level of assets, liquidity and institutional activity to XRPL. That is why I believe the market is still underpricing what is being built around $XRP.

BOOOOM! 🚨🚨🚨 This interview is packed with massive $XRP alpha for the years ahead. If you’re still not bullish after hearing this, I don’t know what to tell you. Let me break it all down, because there’s a LOT here. WARNING: THIS ONE IS LOOONG! Monica Long just gave one of the clearest explanations I’ve heard of what Ripple has been building around XRP all these years. And it comes down to three words Chris Larsen was already talking about from the beginning: UTILITY → LIQUIDITY → TRUST At first, that sounds simple. But spend a little time thinking about what those three words actually mean together and the entire XRP strategy starts making much more sense. Utility brings real activity. Real activity creates a need for liquidity. Better liquidity allows larger amounts of money to move efficiently. Institutions become more comfortable using the network. That trust brings more institutions, more assets and more transactions. Then the cycle starts again with even more utility. That is the flywheel Monica Long is talking about. And 2026 is starting to look like the year all three sides are finally showing up at the same time. For years, people reduced XRP to one thing: Cross-border payments. That story is becoming much bigger. XRP can potentially sit inside payments, FX liquidity, DEX routing, lending, credit, collateral, tokenized markets and even autonomous AI payments. That is a completely different economic profile from simply paying a blockchain gas fee. Look at Ripple Payments. Ripple already operates across more than 60 markets and has processed over $100 billion in payment volume. Ripple already has companies using its infrastructure. That part matters a lot. They do not need to wait around hoping somebody discovers XRPL someday. Ripple already has enterprise relationships. Now Ripple wants to push more of the activity coming from those customers directly onto the XRP Ledger. Think about the difference. A company wants to move money internationally. It does not want its finance team learning how to operate a decentralized exchange. It does not want employees sitting there choosing liquidity pools, handling wallets and figuring out blockchain routing. It simply wants the payment completed. Ripple can handle the complexity underneath. Compliance. Routing. Conversion. Custody considerations. Settlement. The customer sees a payment product. XRPL can quietly become part of the engine running beneath it. I think that matters enormously. The easier blockchain becomes to use without businesses having to think about blockchain, the easier serious adoption becomes. Then you reach the liquidity side of the story. XRPL already has a native DEX and AMM. Now imagine what happens as more assets appear there. RLUSD. MXNB. Brazilian real stablecoins. Euro stablecoins. Tokenized Treasuries. Commercial paper. Investment funds. Private credit. Tokenized deposits. Other real-world assets. Every new asset needs liquidity. If there are only two assets, creating a market is easy. Once you start adding dozens, hundreds or eventually thousands of different assets, the number of potential trading relationships explodes. Liquidity gets fragmented quickly. A common intermediary asset becomes much more useful. That is the economic logic XRP was designed around. Asset A → XRP → Asset B when XRP provides the efficient path. So every new tokenized asset coming onto XRPL does not automatically compete with XRP. It can create another market where XRP may become useful as liquidity. And RLUSD makes this setup even more interesting. Ripple reported around $2.409 billion of RLUSD circulating, backed by roughly $2.5315 billion in reserve funds as of September 24. Now the roles can become clearer. RLUSD can represent stable dollar value. Tokenized assets can represent investments and collateral. XRPL can handle exchange and settlement. XRP can provide native liquidity and potentially credit capital. XRP does not have to pretend to be a dollar. Ripple already built RLUSD for that. XRP can focus on being useful between different pools of value. And we already have real assets appearing. Ondo’s OUSG is live on XRPL. Qualified purchasers can mint and redeem the tokenized U.S. Treasury product using RLUSD around the clock. At launch, OUSG had more than $670 million in TVL. Think about what is happening there. A real-world financial asset. Digital cash. Both living inside the same network. Then add DEX liquidity. Then lending. Then collateral. Then market makers. Now you are moving beyond tokenizing something just so people can say it exists on blockchain. You are building an actual financial market around it. Then there is Guggenheim Treasury Services. Its Digital Commercial Paper is on XRPL too. More than $280 million of issuance had already been processed, backed by U.S. Treasury securities and carrying Moody’s Prime-1 rating. So now the ledger can contain more than crypto-native assets. Treasuries. Commercial paper. Funds. Stablecoins. Credit instruments. Commodities. Every new category expands the liquidity graph. Aviva Investors adds another piece. Aviva announced plans with Ripple to tokenize traditional fund structures on XRPL. Then look at Brazil. Justoken already had more than $1.7 billion of assets tokenized on XRPL. CRX had nearly $100 million settled onchain. Then CSD BR went live using XRPL to mirror ownership records of BTG Pactual investment-fund shares. CSD BR reports more than BRL 22 trillion in registered assets. Read that again. This is regulated financial-market infrastructure beginning to use a public blockchain as part of real financial operations. And future phases contemplate native issuance and trading directly on XRPL. This is how utility compounds. A crypto company issues something. Then funds appear. Then regulated market infrastructure itself starts integrating the network. Now go back to what Monica Long predicted. She talked about tokenized assets moving from around: $100M → $1B → roughly $6B and then potentially reaching: $30 BILLION. Most people will look at that and say: “Cool, 5x.” I think the bigger story sits underneath the number. What happens around $30 billion of assets? Those assets need custody. Trading. Market making. Cash settlement. FX. Collateral. Credit. Lending. Redemption. Compliance. Issuance. A tokenized asset sitting motionless in a wallet is only the first stage. The real financial activity starts when people can actually use the asset. Borrow against it. Trade it. Use it as collateral. Finance positions. Move liquidity around it. That brings us back to XRP. Because Ripple is also building credit infrastructure through the XRPL Lending Protocol. Imagine an XRP holder in the old model. Buy XRP. Hold XRP. Wait. Now imagine a future model. Hold XRP. Supply it into liquidity or credit infrastructure. A payment company or market maker accesses that capital. The XRP supports real economic activity. Capital gets repaid. The same capital can be used again. Suddenly XRP starts becoming productive liquidity. That is a much deeper role. And market makers could become one of the biggest pieces of this. If Ripple routes more enterprise payment activity through XRPL, somebody has to provide liquidity. A professional market maker may continuously quote markets such as: RLUSD/XRP. XRP/local stablecoin. XRP/tokenized assets. If business volume grows, those firms may need larger XRP inventories. More working capital. Better access to credit. XRPL lending pools could eventually help finance that inventory. Now you could have: XRP holders providing capital. Market makers borrowing XRP. Market makers supplying liquidity. Ripple customers consuming that liquidity while making real payments. That is an actual financial economy. XRP becomes inventory behind an economic service. Then comes the third side of Chris Larsen’s triangle: TRUST. I think people underestimate this one. Institutional trust does not mean some bank executive saying they like Ripple. Trust means: Can we legally use this? Can participants be identified? Can we control access? Can we manage counterparty risk? Can transactions be audited? Can private information remain private? Can assets be frozen if regulations require it? Can billions settle reliably? Is enough liquidity available? Can we custody everything safely? XRPL has been building around those requirements. Credentials. Permissioned Domains. Deep Freeze. MPTs. Token Escrow. Batch Transactions. Lending. Confidential Transfers. Those tools matter because institutions move very differently when serious capital is involved. A company experimenting with $1 million has one risk profile. Moving $100 million is different. Moving $1 billion is another level entirely. If XRPL proves that regulated issuers, credentialed markets, privacy controls, institutional custody and deep liquidity can coexist on public infrastructure, institutions can become more comfortable bringing larger amounts of capital. Larger capital creates deeper markets. Deeper markets improve execution. Better execution increases utility. And the flywheel spins again. CSD BR is especially powerful through this lens. Its existing systems remain the official record, but XRPL is being used as an additional recording and audit layer. That is a practical example of regulated infrastructure integrating public blockchain without throwing away the controls institutions already need. Success like that builds trust. Trust makes other institutions more willing to experiment. Those institutions add assets. Those assets create liquidity demand. Liquidity strengthens utility. Utility → liquidity → trust → utility again. Then Monica Long and Christina Chan introduced another layer that I think could eventually become massive: AI agents. Christina Chan said agentic activity had already reached roughly 11 million XRPL transactions. Monica’s prediction? Around 100 million by this time next year. That is almost an order-of-magnitude jump. Humans make a limited number of financial decisions every day. Software does not have that limitation. An AI agent can pay for an API. Then compute. Then market data. Then storage. Then another AI service. Then execute a trade. Then rebalance a portfolio. Then convert currencies. Then repay credit. And it can keep doing that all day and all night. Ripple has already launched the XRPL AI Starter Kit, including x402-powered payments using XRP and RLUSD. AI agents can autonomously pay for APIs, compute, data and digital services. So when Monica talks about 100 million agentic transactions, Ripple is not sitting around hoping AI somehow discovers XRP. They are already building tools for machines to transact. Now combine Monica’s two predictions. $30 billion in tokenized assets. 100 million agentic transactions. Imagine an autonomous treasury agent holding RLUSD. It buys tokenized Treasuries. Collects yield. Uses the Treasury position as collateral. Borrows liquidity. Pays for compute. Executes FX. Rebalances. Repays debt. Moves into another asset. Every single action can create activity. The asset itself may sit on XRPL, but software can continuously make that asset productive. Now $30 billion of assets can create far more than $30 billion of lifetime economic activity. The capital can move. Trade. Get pledged. Borrowed against. Reallocated. Used repeatedly. That is asset velocity. And this is where the entire picture becomes much more exciting to me. Ripple Payments brings enterprise distribution. RLUSD brings digital cash. Tokenized assets bring investable capital. XRPL DEX and AMM bring exchange. XRP can provide liquidity. The Lending Protocol brings credit. Credentials and Permissioned Domains bring controlled institutional access. Confidential Transfers can help address privacy. AI agents and x402 bring automation. XRPL becomes the settlement layer connecting everything. That starts looking like a real digital financial economy. And $XRP sits across multiple layers of it. Bridge liquidity. DEX inventory. Payment liquidity. Credit capital. Lending. Collateral. Agentic payments. Network reserves. Transaction fees. This is why I think the XRP debate has changed. The old question was: “Will banks use XRP?” I think that question is becoming way too small. The bigger question is: How many financial roles can XRP perform as XRPL grows? Because if several of these markets develop at the same time, each one can strengthen the others. More RWAs create more trading. More trading needs liquidity. More liquidity attracts market makers. Market makers need capital. Credit markets can provide that capital. XRP holders can supply some of it. AI agents create more transactions. More transactions create more automated liquidity demand. More DEX activity gives market makers another reason to maintain XRP inventory. Meanwhile institutional adoption creates more trust. More trust can bring larger assets and larger companies. Then everything loops again. And the part I care about most for XRP demand is not simply transaction fees being burned. XRPL fees are tiny by design. The more interesting demand comes from XRP potentially being held because businesses actually need inventory. DEX market makers can hold XRP. Lending vaults can hold XRP. Payment-credit facilities can use XRP. Institutional treasuries can hold XRP. Liquidity pools can hold XRP. Collateral structures can use XRP. That means portions of supply can become economically committed to doing actual work. At the same time, new businesses may need XRP to make markets, borrow inventory, route liquidity or settle transactions. That is very different from someone buying XRP because they hope the chart pumps. A market maker can acquire XRP because it needs inventory. A lender can acquire XRP because it wants to deploy productive capital. A payment company can borrow XRP because it needs working capital. An AI application can hold XRP because autonomous software needs digital money. Those are economic reasons to interact with XRP. And that is where I think Monica Long’s interview becomes extremely important. Her message was not simply: “XRP has utility.” She showed us what that utility can evolve into. Ripple is trying to take XRP from a bridge asset and turn it into something much deeper: productive financial capital. Movement of value. Exchange of value. Financing of value. Collateralization of value. Autonomous movement of value. And the triangle Chris Larsen talked about years ago suddenly feels much more relevant: UTILITY → LIQUIDITY → TRUST Utility gives institutions a reason to use the network. Real activity creates demand for liquidity. Deep liquidity makes larger transactions possible. Larger transactions build confidence. Confidence attracts bigger institutions. Those institutions bring more capital. More capital creates more utility. Then the wheel keeps spinning. Now Monica is talking about potentially moving from roughly $6B to $30B in tokenized assets while agentic transactions move from roughly 11M toward 100M. One increases the amount of capital living inside the network. The other increases how frequently activity can happen around that capital. Add Ripple Payments pushing more enterprise volume toward XRPL. Add DEX liquidity. Add lending. Add payment credit. Add RLUSD. Add institutional controls. Add AI agents. And I think the long-term $XRP picture starts looking very different. I have been bullish on XRP for a long time. But interviews like this are exactly why my conviction keeps growing. I’m not looking at one partnership or one headline. I’m looking at an entire financial system slowly being assembled around liquidity, credit, tokenized assets, payments and automation. If Ripple executes on even a meaningful part of what Monica Long just laid out, XRP could sit right in the middle of capital, liquidity, credit, payments and autonomous finance. That is the $XRP future I’m holding for. LETS GOOOOOOO!

Some weeks ago when the $CFI claim went live, I had a decision to make. I could’ve claimed and moved on. Instead, I staked my entire allocation. Right now, that locked allocation is already earning around 9% APR quietly in the background. So far, it’s added 621.96 CFI without me touching anything, And in about 158 days, my boost allocation will also be unlocks on top of that. That alone already tells me I made the right call. But here’s the bigger reason I’m still holding everything. ConsumerFi Protocol isn’t just a token to me. It’s the execution layer behind real apps that people are already using especially the Kinsu. The Kinsu Genesis Vault is a perfect example of what ConsumerFi is trying to do right. You deposit USDC. You lock xCFI. And you unlock boosted yield on your savings. No leverage. No weird loops. No manual rebalancing. ConsumerFi even allocated 2.5 million $CFI specifically to power boosted yields in this vault. What I like most is how the yield stacks: - Base USDC yield from blue-chip lending markets - Staking yield from xCFI - Boost emissions when you lock xCFI And on top of that, your xCFI balance feeds directly into Season 2 points, with boosts that scale the more aligned you are. This is exactly why I’m holding my full allocation. ConsumerFi rewards patience, alignment, and actual usage, not quick exits. If you believe consumer crypto should just work in the background while value compounds, this setup makes a lot of sense. I’m staying locked. I’m staying boosted. And I’m letting execution do its thing. If you’re already in, take a real look at how you’re positioned. If you’re not, this is the kind of system that rewards showing up early and staying aligned. ConsumerFi is still early, and i'm here. That’s the difference.

EXCLUSIVE: Robinhood is going to pay 7% on dollars to 27.7 million customers. In this Interview Johann Kerbrat, their SVP of Crypto explains how it all works. Robinhood Earn lives inside the main investing app. You can buy the USDG stablecoin in a few taps, and it gets deployed into vaults built with Morpho and Steakhouse, and the target yield is roughly 7%. Where does 7% come from? Market makers and liquidity providers pay it. These are traders who need USDG liquidity to run spot and perps trading. Your deposit is funding someone else's 50x leverage, and you're the one getting paid for it. Assuming you get paid back. Which, as we've seen, doesn't always work in DeFi with hacks and smart contract risk. But Robinhood has done something extra to make this retail-grade. Robinhood's answer is an insurance program with Lloyd's of London and Relm covering smart contract and vault failure. He says it's one of the largest ever built for a crypto product. Earn was one of 12 announcements; some others that caught my eye: Stock tokens in 120+ countries, backed 1:1 by real equities. You can withdraw them to a self-custody wallet and post them as collateral. Borrowing against a stock portfolio used to be a private banking perk; now it's a smart contract. Robinhood Chain went to public mainnet after 200 million transactions on testnet. Perps on stocks, crypto, and commodities at 20 to 50x leverage, bringing an entire new asset class to the mainstream. Robinhood is all in on DeFi. DeFi protocols spent a decade fighting for users. Robinhood just made a Morpho vault look like a savings account, in front of 27.7m funded customers.

DON'T LET YOUR BITCOIN DIE WITH YOU 💀 ⚰️ Yea look, nobody likes to admit it but we all have to die one day. As I've been talking to people about their self custody lately - both Casa members and not - I hear the same thing over and over. "What happens if I die?" Many people feel pretty good about their bitcoin security for themselves. But their family members often have no idea how to use this stuff. Hardware wallet? Seed phrase stamped on metal? Shamir's secret sharing backups using SD cards, a passphrase, and a treasure hunt through the backyard with a shovel? 😵 We're solving that problem for all Casa members, starting today with Casa Inheritance. A key design principle we kept while building this was to make it as simple as possible for Recipients (your family members that will receive your bitcoin if you pass), while maintaining Casa-level security. An estate transfer is already a stressful time for family, and it can become even more stressful if you add in a crazy treasure hunt to access a fortune in bitcoin. For our basic 3 key vaults, we wanted it to be as easy as using the app. No metal plates, no need to use a hardware wallet, no magic passwords you have to keep track of or else risk messing up the asset transfer. Simplicity is security. So how does it work, in detail? A Vault Owner (Casa member) designates a Recipient (their family or friend) in the Casa app. The Recipient receives an invite to create a free Casa account. The Recipient scans a QR code provided by the Vault Owner, which contains an encrypted version of the owner's mobile key. This encrypted key is only able to be imported by the Recipient's Casa account, and the Recipient can't initially use it or see the vault balance. If the Vault Owner passes away, the Recipient can request access to the vault in their Casa app. This starts a 6 month timer, and sends a ton of notifications every month to the owner. If the owner is still alive, they can reject the request in app. If they are not, the timer will run out. When it does, the Recipient will be able to use the shared mobile key and the request a signature from the Casa Recovery Key for the shared vault. This gives them 2 out of 3 signatures, enough to access the assets. For 5 key vault users, one hardware key is shared with the Recipient. This small increase in friction for Recipients is often worth it for the increased security and resilience of a 5 key vault for larger holdings. To summarize now that you have the details: 1. Share keys and vault access during setup 2. 6 month timelock to ensure no malicious theft 3. Use shared keys and Casa key to access assets Full setup takes less than 5 minutes. Inheritance is one of the biggest problems in self custody today. If you've hodled through years of painful bear markets, you owe it to yourself and your family to not let the reward for that patience go to zero because you didn't have a plan - and we're here to make that easy. Check out the video to see how easy it really is. Like I said earlier this week - Casa is going after major problems in self-custody this year. Check this one off the list ✅. Next one coming sooner than you think 🔥.

Introducing $Harvest, a token on Robinhood Chain. Most tokens reward whoever sells first, we built the opposite. Here's how it all works. The loop: trade → creator fees → buyback → airdrop to harvesters Every trade of $Harvest generates creator fees. Those fees are used to buy $Harvest back on the open market, and every token bought back is airdropped to harvesters, meaning anyone who harvests their tokens via our website, more info can be found on our website. Airdrops land straight in your wallet. Nothing to claim, nothing to remember. Your share: amount locked × hours locked = your weight Lock for any term you like, from 1 hour to 1 year. 1,000 tokens for 30 days carries the same weight as 10,000 tokens for 3 days. Lock more, or lock longer, and your slice of every buyback grows. You won't find an APR number here because we're not going to invent one. What you receive is $Harvest bought with real fees, in proportion to what you committed. Your lock: lock → term runs out → withdraw lock → leave early → penalty to the treasury The contract holds your tokens, not us. When your term ends you take them back. Leave early and you pay a penalty, which goes to the treasury. Patience is the whole point. Check it yourself: Every contract address, with a link to its verified source on the explorer, is listed at Every buyback and every airdrop is a transaction you can open. The board at only shows records it has confirmed on-chain, so if it's on the board, it happened. How the trust model works, and where its limits are: The launchpad: launch → bonding curve → own vault → harvest every 30 min → lockers claim ETH None of this is reserved for $Harvest. The same machinery is open to anyone who wants to launch a token on Robinhood Chain. Launch from and your token goes live on Pons v2's bonding curve with its own HarvestVault deployed alongside it, automatically. No contracts to write, no team to hire. Every creator fee your token earns, in ETH, lands in that vault instead of a wallet. Your holders lock for a term, weighted by amount × hours, exactly like $Harvest. Every 30 minutes anyone can trigger a harvest: the vault takes your share as creator, which you set at launch and can never raise above 50%, and credits the rest to your lockers by weight. They claim their ETH straight from the contract. Nobody, including you and including us, can touch locked tokens or unclaimed ETH. There is no owner, no pause button and no upgrade path. Leave a lock early and 10% of it is burned. Fill the curve and the token graduates to a live pool. Your holders get a reason to stay, and you get a token where nobody has to trust you. How to launch: How vaults work: $Harvest is live on Robinhood Chain. The only official $Harvest contract: 0x22d141f768b4dc6108c1e8712b10aca9a5c603dc
