Blockchain payments company Ripple has no immediate plans to follow the trend of digital asset firms going public. In a recent interview with Bloomberg at the company’s Swell conference in New York, Ripple President Monica Long stated, “We do not have an IPO timeline. No plan, no timeline.” Her comments highlight the company’s present priorities, which include expanding its payments business, launching dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies, often known as stablecoins, and forming new alliances, rather than pursuing an initial public offering. IPO Aspirations Remain On Hold These remarks come shortly after Ripple successfully closed a $500 million funding round earlier this we…

Clients using Ripple Prime can now dive into spot trading with a wide selection of cryptocurrencies. This shift marks a new chapter for Ripple’s institutional offering, which previously focused on over-the-counter services and derivatives. Now, Ripple Prime is stepping out from the background and into the main arena of live crypto markets. From Contracts to Coins What makes this update significant is that institutions no longer need to rely on contracts or swaps to gain exposure to crypto. They can now buy and sell the actual coins themselves. Before this move, most prime brokers catered to derivatives and structured products. Ripple Prime offers spot access, meani…

Ripple has once again caught headlines after quietly transferring 15 million XRP tokens just hours after securing a legal win against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The transaction, recorded on Ledger #98,741,614, carried a negligible fee of 0.000015 XRP, showcasing the network’s efficiency. While Ripple has not provided an official statement, analysts suggest the move could be tied to liquidity preparation for exchanges, settlement mechanisms, or the expansion of Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) corridors. The timing, so close to its courtroom victory, has fueled speculation that Ripple is positioning itself for a new phase of institutional adop…

The evolution of Web3 banking is starting. XRP is applying to become a bank in the latest Ripple SEC news. So should I sell my house to buy more XRP? Short answer: NO, but the price is in a crucial position. After briefly spiking to $2.32, XRP has slipped toward the $2.25 range. Price action is tightening along the lower Bollinger Band, pointing to volatility compression. That’s typically a precursor to a major move, and right now, the bias is leaning south. If we won’t moon today, when will we moon then? Despite recent weakness, the broader trend still favors the bulls. The daily chart shows a series of higher lows since XRP bottomed at $1.908, and the 10 to 1…

Ripple will now be able to widen the range of regulated payment services from its Singapore hub. On 1 December 2025, Ripple announced that the company secured a Major Payment Institution (MPI) license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). For Ripple, this basically means a strengthened position in Asia-Pacific. And broader institutional use of XRP and its RLUSD stablecoin in cross-border payments. With this, Ripple is now among a small group of blockchain-focused companies worldwide that hold a full MPI license. Commenting on the development, Ripple President Monica Long said, “MAS has set a leading standard for regulatory clarity in digital assets, and we…

Ripple Labs formally pushed back against a new US Senate draft bill – the Responsible Financial Innovation Act of 2025 – aimed at regulating the cryptocurrency market. The company behind the XRP Ledger warned that the proposed legislation could grant the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) excessive and indefinite power over major digital assets. In a detailed response submitted on 5 August 2025, Ripple argued that the bill in its current form would create more confusion than clarity. The company warned that the bill could stifle innovation and subject established tokens like XRP, Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL) to perpetual regulatory oversight. “The draft crea…

Ripple Labs’ long-running legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is officially over after both sides agreed to drop their appeals in the case. According to reports, a joint filing on August 7 confirmed the decision to the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, ending a nearly five-year dispute that has shaped debate over how cryptocurrencies are regulated. Back To Business Ripple’s chief legal officer Stuart Alderoty said on social media the matter was “over” and the company could get “back to business.” Appeals Withdrawn, Penalties Finalized Based on reports, the SEC has withdrawn its challenge to a 2023 ruling that XRP sales on public exchanges we…

Last week, there were some intriguing developments regarding several cryptocurrency companies. It was revealed that the US banking regulator (OCC) has conditionally approved applications from Ripple, Circle, BitGo, Paxos, and Fidelity Digital Assets to obtain the status of national trust banks. This decision could significantly alter the landscape of the crypto industry in the US. Achieving national trust bank status opens up a range of advantages for these companies, including the ability to interact directly with the Federal Reserve and reduced regulatory costs. Additionally, it greatly enhances their credibility with both institutional and retail investors. One key …

In a press release published on 15 July 2025, Ripple revealed its partnership with the DLD (Dubai Land Development) authority and Ctrl Alt, a London-based fintech company specialising in tokenising alternative assets. “This is the first time a government real estate registration authority in the Middle East has tokenised property title deeds on a public blockchain,” said Reece Merrick, Managing Director, Middle East and Africa, at Ripple.

By enabling interoperability between two of the most influential payment ecosystems, Ripple is positioning XRP as a key player in the future of international money movement.

Ripple’s XRP has officially broken into the top 100 global assets by market capitalization, a milestone that places it alongside some of the world’s most valuable companies like Shopify, Intuit, and Deutsche Telekom. According to the latest data, XRP holds a market cap of around $181.2 billion at a price of $3.02 per token, ranking it above 100th on the global leaderboard.

The Ripple XRP is quietly executing a mission of its own, transforming the global financial plumbing from the inside out. By moving beyond theory and into practical application, XRP technology is being adopted by banks, payment networks, and central institutions seeking faster and more efficient cross-border transfers. XRP As The Bridge Between Old And New Finance While most of the crypto world obsesses over price swings and short-term narratives, Ripple is quietly executing on something much larger: a structural rewrite of global finance. As Xfinancebul pointed out on X, XRP isn’t here to compete with other cryptocurrencies. It’s here to replace the old system that stil…

New updates have been made to Ripple’s XRP Ledger (XRPL) as the network looks to dominate and gain more traction. This is also a positive for XRP, which serves as the network’s bridge currency.

He explained that credentials can be applied to attest to compliance requirements, such as KYC and AML, for a user or institution and issued to their decentralized identity. This helps to further build trust in the network. Vet also noted that the amendment has all been done natively on the XRP Ledger. Notably, this update is part of a…

Crypto analyst Daan Crypto has provided an analysis of the rising Bitcoin dominance, explaining why this will likely continue to surge. Based on his analysis, the altcoin season is unlikely to come anytime soon, with many alts suffering significant selling pressure while BTC accumulation increases. Bitcoin Dominance Surge Dashes Hopes Of Altcoin Season In an X post, Daan Crypto stated that the Bitcoin Dominance shows no signs of stopping following the latest surge above 64%. He indicated that the dominance will only continue to rise as more treasury companies try to accumulate Bitcoin. Meanwhile, on the other hand, hopes of an altcoin season fade away as many altcoins a…

Inflation in Australia is on the rise again, and this is perhaps the most important news that will influence the Reserve Bank of Australia's stance on rates and the Australian dollar's exchange rate. After inflation rose to 3.2% in the third quarter, the highest level in more than a year, forecasts for the RBA's rate changed. Before the publication, the market confidently predicted further rate cuts, but afterward, the likelihood of such a move decreased. The RBA did not disappoint—at the beginning of November, the rate was maintained at 3.6%, but this decision appeared to be only a temporary pause. However, on Wednesday, the October inflation index was published, showing…

The fresh US consumer inflation data released Thursday showed an increase, with the month-on-month number coming in above forecasts. What's next? Will this stop the Federal Reserve from cutting rates? Yesterday's inflation report showed an annual CPI increase from 2.7% to 2.9%, in line with expectations. But the August month-on-month figure jumped to 0.4% (from 0.2% in July), versus a forecast of 0.3%. Let's look at how markets reacted yesterday and what's likely from the Fed next week. As I suspected earlier, markets have fully priced in a 100% probability of a 0.25% rate cut—basically, no one doubts this any longer. Stock markets unambiguously moved higher on the CPI ne…

What to Know: Bitcoin traders are reducing leverage as risk appetite cools, shifting focus toward selective, asymmetric opportunities.

Maxi Doge appeals to volatility seekers through meme-driven trading culture, competitions, and high-APY staking. Bitcoin’s mood has shifted. With the taker buy/sell ratio rolling over as Bitcoin’s price falls, and estimated leverage cooling, futures markets are telling you traders…

Log in to today's North American session Market wrap for October 17 US stocks finished a nervous week on a high note, gaining ground as President Donald Trump's comments suggested trade tensions with China were easing and regional bank stocks bounced back. The S&P 500 index saw its best weekly gain since August after Trump said he was optimistic about reaching a deal with Chinese President Xi Jinping at their upcoming meeting, calming fears of an escalating trade war. This positive sentiment was boosted by a rebound in regional bank stocks, which had plunged earlier in the week due to loan quality fears. Both Zions Bancorp and Western Alliance Bancorp, the banks at th…

A sharp rise in crypto liquidations is sending a louder message of how some traders are using more leverage in recent months. Average daily wipeouts have jumped from roughly $28 million in long bets and $15 million in shorts during the last cycle to about $68 million long and $45 million short in the current cycle, according to a new Glassnode and Fasanara report. That shift has made single sell-offs much more violent. Early Black Friday Shock Reports have disclosed that Oct. 10 was the clearest sign of the change. On that day, more than $640 million per hour in long positions were liquidated as Bitcoin plunged from $121,000 to $102,000. Open interest fell about 22% i…
