Settlement liquidity is exactly the kind of use case @XRP Ledger and RLUSD are built to support.
@Arf_One is bringing its approach to settlement liquidity to the XRP Ledger, using RLUSD to support short-term working capital for licensed payment companies as cross-border payments settle.
Arf is bringing settlement liquidity to the @XRP Ledger.
Cross-border payments move trillions of dollars every year, but the capital needed to move that money often remains tied up across markets.
That’s why we’re partnering with @Ripple to bring RLUSD-powered settlement liquidity to licensed cross-border payment companies on the XRP Ledger (XRPL).

In five years, underwriting a loan against assets you already hold, like a $50,000 stock position, could cost close to $0, making collateral lending beyond mortgages and car loans finally viable.

Putin: "I want ordinary citizens of Western countries to hear me.
The truth is that the problems you are facing now are the result of years of actions by the ruling elites of your own countries."
.@USComptroller Jonathan V. Gould: Today’s final rule advances @POTUS Trump’s and @SecScottBessent’s vision for American leadership in digital assets. We are providing a clear, practical framework for payment stablecoin innovation, with strong standards for reserve backing, redemption, and risk management.

1/ Today Ripple filed its comment letter on the SEC’s proposed Regulation Crypto Assets. We support the proposal, and the SEC has clear authority to adopt it.
2/ Years of “case by case, coin by coin” enforcement has pushed innovation offshore. We need holistic rules for digital assets.
3/ The proposal stays faithful to Howey. The investment contract is the security, not the token. What matters is what an issuer actually promised and when those promises end, not a subjective “decentralization” test.
4/ We know the cost of ambiguity firsthand. Ripple spent more than $150 million to get clarity. No company should have to do that to learn what the law requires.
5/ Clear rules grounded in existing law will bring capital, investor protection and innovation to the U.S.

#BREAKING: DNA report says Ilhan Omar and her ex-husband are siblings; Biden DOJ refused to act.
Clearpool is bringing institutional credit to the #XRP Ledger.
Real loans settled in #RLUSD, built with @Ripple and @cicadacredit Partners on XRPL’s native primitives.
Why it matters for $XRP holders:
• More real activity means more $XRP used for fees and reserves
• $RLUSD working-capital loans create a flywheel of ledger volume
• Roadmap includes $XRP yield products alongside $RLUSD credit vaults
Institutional capital and real utility landing on XRPL.

🚨 They Planned the 2020 Lockdowns to Secretly Bail Out the Banks With $6 Trillion Without Hyperinflation
They didn’t lockdown the world because of a virus. They locked you down because the entire banking system was already on the brink of collapse.
In September 2019 the REPO market exploded. Overnight lending rates spiked. Corporate loans and derivatives were quietly failing. There was no cash left in the repo market and in the system even through banks had Treasuries as collateral.
The Federal Reserve was staring at a full-blown liquidity crisis that could have taken down major banks.
Then, just weeks later, a “once-in-a-century” virus conveniently appears.
By early 2020 the Fed starts pulling hundreds of billions out of the REPO market… right as the first cases hit U.S. soil.
They shut down the entire economy.
Why?
Because if people stop spending, stop borrowing, and stop circulating money, the system can suddenly print $6 TRILLION and dump it straight into the banks without causing immediate hyperinflation.
The lockdowns were a financial operation.
While you were terrified of a virus and watching your business die, the biggest bailout in history was being executed behind closed doors.
The timing wasn’t coincidence. The scale wasn’t accident. The narrative wasn’t organic.
They needed you scared, isolated, and offline so they could quietly rescue the system that was already breaking in 2019.
This wasn’t chaos. This was the plan.
The famous City Of London banker @LordBelgrave already warned about how central banks, IMF and BIS have been planning the new monetary order.
Oil shock? AI crisis? Cyberattacks?
They’re already preparing for the next one.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse: "My competition is not the other chains. My competition is how do we get more of traditional finance taking advantage of blockchain based settlement." He says the XRP Ledger is gaining share in institutional use cases.

Saw some comments about my post on this topic 👇 🤣
1. I am always supportive of any blockchain making any progress in any country. BTC, ETH, BNB, XRP, SOL, HYPE, ZEC, SIGN, all stablecoins, etc, you name it...
2. I was happy that SOL can advertise and get an office in Shanghai. It would open the path for others to follow. It would also indicate that "China unbanned crypto", which would be positive news for all of us. But alas, that's not quite the case yet, it seems...
3. My X post was not the trigger. It's now emerged that the Bund building ad was taken down within 10 minutes. (If you don't know, China monitors speech and media in real-time.) I only saw it on X 12-24 hours after the fact.
4. Regardless of the outcome, it's good effort. Keep building and keep pushing adoption.
Solana just had its event in China shut down.
And the funniest part is that CZ basically warned about this one day earlier.
First Solana Foundation announced that it has opened an office in Pudong, occupying one of the highest commercial office spaces
All of this in a country where crypto is heavily restricted.
A day before CZ notices Solana’s expansion and publicly comments on how surprising it is.
He says it’s amazing that Solana can advertise and open an office in China.
(Especially considering BNB Chain hasn’t been able to do the same)
Sounds pretty reasonable, right?
Well, less than 24 hours later…
The first event was supposed to take place at the Shangri-La hotel in Shanghai.
The event was scheduled to begin at 10 AM.
Instead, attendees arrived to find police officers at the venue.
You genuinely cannot make this stuff up.
Around noon, organizers sent an apology email arguing “Venue logistics considerations.”
CZ them posted:
“Sad to see. Looks like they really didn’t know the local policies?”
And reminded everyone that something similar had happened less than a year ago.
I’ve seen people joking that he snitched on them.
I actually respect Solana’s ambition to expand into one of the biggest markets
But I think there’s a difference between building blockchain infrastructure in China and publicly promoting a crypto ecosystem
This week Solana might have crossed that line and CZ is probably thinking he told them so.
