Big partnerships call for big ambitions! We're bringing the full power of Ripple’s blockchain infrastructure to @RobinhoodApp, one of the industry's largest retail and institutional trading platforms. From $RLUSD settlement on the @XRP Ledger to prime brokerage and treasury operations, this is our end-to-end strategy in action. 🚀
Ripple is officially going under the hood. 👀 We're expanding our partnership with @RobinhoodApp across $RLUSD, Ripple Prime and Ripple Treasury, bringing together stablecoins, prime brokerage and treasury management to support both customer-facing services and core financial operations. Together, we're bridging traditional and digital. on.ripple.com/3WPPHEH

Final OCC approval for Ripple National Trust Bank is the result of a simple choice we made years ago: build within the regulatory perimeter, not around it. Clear rules + rigorous oversight create trust. And trust is what allows new financial infrastructure to scale.
Big news heading into @RippleSwell: the @USOCC has granted final approval for Ripple National Trust Bank. This gives Ripple a federally supervised platform to support $RLUSD and provide digital asset custody to enterprises. We’ve always said crypto and banks work better together — this is what that looks like. Real innovation, real accountability, federal oversight. The revolution isn't happening outside the system. It's happening from within it.

My thanks go to everyone who put so much effort into the CLARITY Act— across the Administration, Congress, investors, and innovators. Our collective conviction that America must continue to lead is indispensable. I have been unequivocal: with or without legislation, we will act decisively within the SEC’s statutory authority to deliver certainty for American investors and for the entrepreneurs shaping our technological future. Stay tuned.

🚨NEW: I asked @Sen_Alsobrooks (D-MD) whether, after playing a key role in negotiations over both GENIUS and Clarity, she was comfortable letting crypto’s market structure bill die by voting no today. “No, it’s not going to die. You know why it’s not going to die? Because over 70 million Americans are engaging in an industry that is unregulated, and we have a responsibility to regulate.” Alsobrooks accused Republican leadership of “playing a game” by forcing today’s vote while refusing to hold President Trump accountable for what she described as crypto “corruption.”

This afternoon, Senate Democrats proved they were never truly serious about protecting consumers and preserving American leadership. I sat at the table with Senate Democrats working in good faith to get this done while they played games. For over a year, they presented demands and the second we met them, they made new demands and moved the goal posts. Today they voted against real limitations on politicians’ personal crypto investments. They voted against protecting American consumers from the scammers and fraudsters this bill would have shut down. They voted against American leadership, and handed China and every one of our foreign competitors exactly what they wanted. Democrats chose politics over the American people—again. That’s not leadership on their part, that’s surrender to their radical, socialist base. The once-proud Democratic party is anti-consumer and pro-illicit finance, anti-ethics, anti-free enterprise, anti-worker, anti-livable wage jobs, and pro-socialism. The Democrats are now anti-American. Sad!

Don’t forget - Ripple and XRP stand on settled ground. The 2023 federal Court ruling established XRP is not a security. And in March the SEC and CFTC issued a joint interpretation naming XRP a digital commodity. SEC Chairman Atkins and a CFTC Chairman Selig understand these markets. We expect future rulemaking from both agencies to continue to set out clear rules of the road.
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.

So as it stands XRP is the ONLY digital asset with LEGAL clarity in the United States. That's the fact Jack!

Ok so everyone thinks Crypto is doomed now that Clarity Act cloture vote failed. It doesn't! It means Whitehouse will reconsider the latest Democrat lead demands. If they agree and come to a mutual outcome, they can file another cloture vote as early as Friday, voting next week. It's all negotiations and the swings in market are highly tradable. 10% tanking was expected. Hold the ship steady lads.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse spotted in the background at the White House as a major crypto policy address declares the U.S. the Crypto Capital of the World! "The era of political lawfare, debanking, and regulation by enforcement is OVER." Huge moves for American innovation on display. #XRP #Ripple #BradGarlinghouse #Crypto #Bitcoin #Web3
