🚨BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! WALL STREET JUST GOT ITS GREEN LIGHT TO TOKENIZE STOCKS ON-CHAIN! 🤯 TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS WILL BE UNLOCKED. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING. IT'S HAPPENING! 🔥

1/ This one stings. Our team gave everything we had to get the Clarity Act across the finish line. So did most of the industry. This was an opportunity bigger than Ripple or one company - we did this for the industry, for consumers and to cement the US’s position as the crypto capital of the world and as a leader in the future of finance. Ultimately, consumers and U.S. competitiveness got left behind. 2/ A post mortem needs to be done on why this failed (more from me on that in the days ahead). The politics of the democrats (the anti-crypto army) was elevated over good policy. 3/ There is still reason for optimism for crypto in the United States. Now, the SEC, under Chair Atkins, and the CFTC, under Chair Selig, will continue to work hard to issue rules to fill the legislative gap and we will continue to be actively engaged in that rule making process. 4/ Ripple's business has never been stronger — real demand across traditional finance and the digital asset ecosystem. A missed vote in Washington doesn't change our momentum, our global footprint, or our customers.

This is infuriating. FIVE Republican Senators DID NOT EVEN SHOW UP to vote which meant those defaulted to a NO. We know it was Mitch McConnell, with the others being finalized under record.

Is it any surprise that BIS is testing with XRPL.. low fees (check) fast settlement (check) and proven track record (check). cryptoslate.com/bis-prototyp…

🚨🤯 DO YOU REALIZE BIS JUST CHOSE THE XRP LEDGER?! Bank of International Settlements (BIS), the central bank of central banks, is now using XRPL as a public notary for official data on-chain. Their working paper mentioned XRPL 101 times. They hashed the data off-chain, batched it into a Merkle root, and slammed it onto XRPL in 3–5 seconds. Verification in 1–2 seconds. That’s the same stack @DNAOnChain is already running… private data stays off-chain, only a cryptographic commitment + Merkle root gets anchored on XRPL, and anyone can prove integrity without seeing the raw file. Zero-knowledge Proofs privacy layer on the XRP Ledger!! What’s next? BIS declaring XRP a tier-1 asset🤯 Stack your XRP and XDNA‼️ xdna.dnaprotocol.org

🚨JUST IN: BIS x $XRP Ledger — Document Breakdown • BIS researchers implemented a proof of concept on the $XRP Ledger (XRPL) to make official statistical data independently verifiable. • Why $XRP Ledger? The paper specifically highlights low nominal fees, fast consensus finality, developer resources and research around its consensus protocol. • Instead of putting sensitive data itself on-chain, the system creates a cryptographic fingerprint of the data and anchors that fingerprint to the $XRP Ledger. • One $XRP Ledger transaction can represent thousands of datasets by combining their fingerprints into a single Merkle root before recording it on-chain. • Once anchored, the $XRP Ledger acts like a public decentralized notary, providing a timestamped, tamper-evident record that can be independently verified. • In controlled prototype testing, publishing took around 3–5 seconds while verification took around 1–2 seconds. • BIS researchers found that $XRP Ledger on-chain fees become negligible with reasonable batching because thousands of datasets can share a single ledger entry. • The architecture includes an $XRP Ledger integration gateway responsible for submitting transactions, anchoring information and verifying it against the ledger. • The researchers also produced an open-source $XRP Ledger-based reference implementation that statistical organizations could deploy alongside existing systems. • The paper explores bigger potential use cases including real-time data oracles, automated regulatory compliance, inflation-linked smart contracts, perpetual futures, tokenized bonds, derivatives and new types of digital assets powered by verified data. • Future extensions mentioned include zero-knowledge proofs and automated verification by AI agents. Bottom Line: BIS researchers didn’t merely mention the $XRP Ledger — they built and tested a working proof of concept using it while specifically highlighting its low fees and fast finality.

Trump didn’t thank the CEO of Ethereum. Bitcoin doesn’t even have a CEO. He looked at Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and said: “Thank you very much, Brad.” Let that sink in. 👀 ripple:native
