Ripple says it's on track to exit 2026 at about $900 million in annualized product revenue, according to its Swell 2026 press release today.
Ripple says it holds 85+ licenses and serves 1,700+ institutions, corporates and enterprises.
It also says customers and partners using several of its solutions together, such as BNY and Robinhood, grew 3X this year.
Ripple says RLUSD is at a $2.6 billion market cap, up more than 88% year to date, and that it received final OCC approval to charter Ripple National Trust Bank.
Which of these figures stands out most to you?

My financial advisor told me to diversify. So I bought ripple:native on three different exchanges. Checkmate, motherfucker.
Moody's has given Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin investment-grade ratings: A2 long-term and P-1 short-term.
Moody's said the A2 reflects the credit quality and market value of RLUSD's reserve assets, reserve coverage, liquidity and redemption arrangements.
According to Moody's, the reserve is mostly short-term U.S. government assets and cash held with BNY, and the issuer targets 103% reserve coverage.
Ripple's Jack McDonald says RLUSD is the first stablecoin to get an investment-grade rating from Moody's.
Moody's says the ratings could fall if reserve quality, coverage, liquidity or redemption capacity weakens.
Does a Moody's rating change how you look at stablecoins?

The Stellar Development Foundation has opened a review of XLM's tokenomics, publishing a discussion paper for community feedback as Meridian 2026 gets underway in Lisbon.
Today, every fee paid on Stellar goes into a protocol-level fee pool that can't be spent.
One idea in the paper: use that fee pool to fund rewards for holders who lock XLM for a fixed term, with eligibility tied to on-chain activity such as paying network fees, running apps or providing liquidity.
This is up for discussion, not a decision. SDF says it hasn't decided to fund or support any such mechanism, and using the fee pool would need a protocol change adopted by validators.
Which on-chain activity do you think should count toward rewards?

DTCC's Tokenization Service went live today.
It mints tokenized versions of securities held at DTC, which can be converted between traditional and tokenized forms. DTC has more than $114 trillion in assets under custody.
20 DTC participants have signed up so far, including J.P. Morgan, Bank of America, Citi, Fidelity, Morgan Stanley and State Street.
For XRP, XLM and HBAR holders: the service runs on the Canton Network and DTCC's private Besu network. DTCC says more blockchain networks will be added in 2027, without naming them.
Did you expect public chains to be part of day one?

Ripple and Coinbase announced a partnership today to bring Ripple USD (RLUSD) to Coinbase.
Ripple says that starting today, retail and institutional clients can trade and manage RLUSD through Coinbase Prime, Coinbase Exchange and the Coinbase retail app, with 1:1 conversion from U.S. dollars and other supported USD stablecoins.
Deposits and withdrawals are supported on the XRP Ledger, Base and Ethereum. Coinbase Global Exchange customers, including using RLUSD as collateral, come later.
Ripple says RLUSD has passed $2.4 billion in market cap since launching in December 2024.
Ripple's Jack McDonald and Coinbase Institutional co-CEO Brett Tejpaul take the stage at Swell today at 2:45 PM MT.
Which chain do you think will carry the most RLUSD on Coinbase: XRPL, Base or Ethereum?

The top 1% of XRP Ledger accounts hold 88.07% of the XRP outside escrow.
It takes 43,403 XRP to get in. That's 82,757 accounts out of 8,275,687.
The top 5% starts at 7,230 XRP and holds 96.22%. Widen it to the top 10%, which starts at 2,063 XRP, and those 827,569 accounts hold 98.65%.
These are accounts, not people. The site doesn't say who owns them, and the 31.55B XRP in escrow isn't counted.

Ripple announced new Ripple Treasury capabilities on Oct 26 at Swell 2026, aimed at managing cash, liquidity and payments around the clock.
The headline feature is 24/7 Returns. Eligible corporate customers can earn returns on qualifying digital assets held in a Ripple wallet, including RLUSD, putting operating cash to work overnight, on weekends and on holidays.
Participation is subject to program requirements, and Ripple hasn't published return rates.
Ripple named American Airlines, Trax, Christian Louboutin, Subway, Adecco and Kingfisher among the businesses the new capabilities are designed for.
Subway, with nearly 37,000 restaurants, is an existing Ripple Treasury customer. Its case study reports 98% cash visibility, 90% of payments automated and about 400,000 transactions a year.
Would your company keep cash in a stablecoin over the weekend?

BNY is adding XRP and Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin to its institutional custody platform.
Only this custody part of the news involves the XRP token.
BNY also intends to let clients mint and redeem RLUSD directly through the bank. That's still in development, with no timeline yet.
Ripple and C2FO are also testing C2FO Instant Pay, which pays suppliers in RLUSD on the XRP Ledger against approved invoices. It's a pilot, not live at scale.

Ripple and Robinhood announced a partnership today (Oct 27) centered on Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin.
Robinhood will use RLUSD on the XRP Ledger for institutional settlement.
Robinhood will also integrate Ripple Treasury into its own operations.
RLUSD is expected to come to the Robinhood app later this year.
RLUSD's market cap is about $2.5B, with more than $1B of it issued on the XRP Ledger.

The 1B XRP that Ripple's escrow released on Oct 1 still hasn't moved.
It went into two Ripple wallets, 500M each. XRP Ledger data checked this morning shows both still hold about 500M XRP, with no outgoing payments since Oct 1.
Each wallet has another 500M XRP escrow that unlocks Nov 1 (00:00 UTC), so another 1B in total.
Separately, US spot XRP ETFs had $3.61M in net outflows on Monday, all from Bitwise's fund, per SoSoValue data. All XRP ETFs together hold about $1.47B in net assets.
Will you be watching the Nov 1 unlock?

Ripple National Trust Bank just got final OCC approval.
Per the posts breaking it, that covers RLUSD reserve management under federal supervision and institutional digital asset custody.
And XRP didn't skyrocket.
That's normal.
A charter is plumbing, and plumbing pays off through adoption, not in one candle.
The question I'm watching next:

Swell 2026, Ripple's annual conference, opens today in New York and runs Oct 27-29 at The Shed in Hudson Yards.
Ripple's listed speakers include Matt Damon, co-founder of Water.org, and Tom Farley, chairman and CEO of Bullish.
Yesterday's "Cleared for takeoff" post from Ripple still hasn't been explained, so we'll wait for Ripple to share more.
What are you hoping to hear this week?

Ripple received final approval from the OCC, the US bank regulator, on Oct 26 for Ripple National Trust Bank.
The trust bank is approved to manage the segregated reserves behind Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin, act as collateral trustee of those reserves for RLUSD holders, and offer digital asset custody to institutions.
It's a national trust charter, so it can't take deposits or make loans. RLUSD will still be issued by Ripple's New York-regulated trust company. The charter adds federal supervision on top.
It follows conditional approval in December 2025. This is about Ripple's stablecoin and custody business, not the XRP token.
Does federal oversight make you more comfortable using a stablecoin?

Setting the record straight on DTCC's tokenization launch.
Some posts call Oct 28 a crucial day for XRP, XLM and HBAR. That's speculation. Here's what DTCC has actually published.
DTCC's Tokenization Service is expected to launch this month on two networks: Canton and DTCC's private Besu network. Stellar is an anticipated 2027 addition, alongside Circle's Arc. The XRP Ledger and Hedera aren't part of the launch.
Oct 28 is widely cited as the date, but DTCC's own materials only say October.
At launch, 25 securities can be tokenized, drawn from Treasuries, ETFs and Russell 1000 stocks.
Do you check official sources before sharing launch-day claims?

Today at 12:34 PM MT, Ripple posted "It's happening...Cleared for takeoff š«" on X. Ripple hasn't said what it refers to, so we'll wait for them to share more.
David Schwartz (JoelKatz) separately posted "And so it begins!" with a photo of a Swell Demo Day event dated Oct 26.
U.Today reports "Crypto Responsibly" XRP ads on NYC subway trains and in the 42nd St station, based on videos shared on X. The sponsor, budget and reach haven't been confirmed.
