Pro-crypto members won on both sides of the aisle….and the 67M (and growing) Americans using crypto aren’t going anywhere. New Congress, with the same mission: clear rules, built in America.
Congratulations to everyone elected this week. We look forward to working with members of both parties to keep America the best place in the world to build the future. Let me be clear — some headlines will call this a setback for crypto. The facts are far more nuanced. Fairshake secured meaningful wins in both the primaries and the general election, and early Stand With Crypto data shows a substantial number of pro-crypto members elected across both parties. That didn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of years of engagement, from grassroots advocates to industry organizations. Those leaders will be critical partners as Congress and the administration work to build clear rules for digital assets and the broader tech economy. And the stakes haven’t changed. More than 67 million Americans use crypto to build financial independence, power their businesses and pay for goods and services. Banks and businesses are adopting it. Day by day, this is mainstream finance. Clear rules for digital assets were never a one-cycle project. We remain committed to smart regulation, relationships across party lines, and continued investment in political engagement through Super PACs, other political advocacy groups and crypto education through not-for-profits like the National Cryptocurrency Association..

We’re kicking off 10 years of @RippleSwell with a bang! 1/ Goes without saying, but it was an honor to open up our conference with @SecScottBessent. His leadership, alongside the current administration, has been instrumental in ensuring that responsible crypto can thrive in the US. I’m extremely grateful he spent time with us today. 2/ BIG partner news 🚨 we're bringing Ripple’s infrastructure to @RobinhoodApp (supporting both customer-facing services and core financial operations), from $RLUSD settlement on the @XRP Ledger to prime brokerage and treasury operations & expanding our relationship with @BNYglobal across custody and tokenized trade finance with RLUSD, XRP and the XRP Ledger. 3/ We are bringing digital assets to corporates 👀 → Ripple Treasury introduced 24/7 Returns designed to help corporates put idle cash to work outside banking hours utilizing stablecoins (this is one step further to realizing the vision of our Treasury management business). 4/ Last but certainly not least, @USOCC granted final approval for Ripple National Trust Bank! And it’s only day 0 (technically the Swell main event starts tomorrow!). More to come this week…

No August doldrums in DC this week! It was great to join the inaugural @CFTC Innovation Advisory Committee (a group I've called "the Olympic roster of crypto.") But for a “crypto” gathering, there were a LOT of TradFi players in the room like @NASDAQ, @CMEGroup, @CBOE, @OptionsClearing, @NYSE, @The_DTCC (alphabet soup!) Everyone was in agreement. Rules written for a different era aren’t good enough. Not for consumers. Not for business. Not for innovation. I made this case in an open letter to Congress back in 2019. Seven years later, we STILL need clear rules…. Thanks to the Trump administration, appointees like @ChairmanSelig, and a myriad of bold leaders in Congress, we’ve never been closer. ripple.com/insights/open-let…

Great to be back at the White House today alongside @realDonaldTrump, @SECPaulSAtkins, @ChairmanSelig and leaders across the crypto industry. The big picture has never been clearer: 67 million Americans hold crypto today (that’s nearly 1 in 4!). Crypto isn't a fringe industry. And Washington DC knows the crypto voter is alive and well. This President's incredible commitment to innovation and leadership around digital assets in the US has been profound. The future is bright.

My thoughts exactly…. Perfect can't be the enemy of good. Let's get this done!
The Clarity Act is a consumer protection bill: strong AML/KYC, real tools for law enforcement and state AGs. Leave it on the table and consumers are left twisting in the wind with the status quo with no clear standards for bad actors to exploit (again). Perfect can't be the enemy of good. Let's get this done.

14 years ago, we got together with an idea to build a better way to move value. What happened next was something none of us could have built alone. And by "us," I don't just mean the three of us. I mean the developers, validators, businesses, community members, and everyone who helped shape XRP into what it is today. Happy Birthday, XRP!

For too long, the SEC was at odds with new technology and innovation, pushing entrepreneurs offshore. That era is over. Under President Trump’s leadership, and alongside colleagues across the Admin and Congress, we are delivering much needed clarity to digital asset markets.

The “Anti-Crypto Army” was defeated… by the courts… by the voters. And by Trump. It never made policy, legal or political sense. Combatting financial innovation only helped protect those that wanted to keep an old, often broken, system in place.
🚨NEW: President Trump says his administration is building a “future-proof” digital asset market structure that can’t be undone by “crypto haters.” This marks the first time the president has publicly weighed in on crypto market structure since March.

BREAKING: The CLARITY Act just cleared committee. For years, crypto built without a rulebook. Now the rules are catching up to the builders. The New Money Era isn't coming. It's being written into law.

This is a meaningful step toward 24/7 global financial markets. By combining the XRP Ledger with global banking infrastructure, this pilot shows how institutions can execute cross-border transactions in a single integrated flow.
Ondo, Kinexys by @jpmorgan, @Mastercard, & @Ripple successfully completed a landmark pilot transaction connecting the XRP ledger with interbank settlement rails. This milestone marks the first time tokenized U.S. Treasuries have settled across borders and banks in near real time and outside traditional banking windows. 1. Ondo processed Ripple’s OUSG redemption on XRP Ledger 2. Mastercard's Multi-Token Network routed instructions to Kinexys by J.P. Morgan 3. J.P. Morgan delivered USD to Ripple's Singapore bank account Tokenized assets are no longer separate from the global financial system. For the first time, a public blockchain and global banking infrastructure settled a cross-border transaction of a tokenized fund together in real time. Together, we’re laying the groundwork for 24/7 global markets that never close.
