hello, world. It’s about time.

Broadening access to XRPL, from everyday payments to agentic commerce. We’re partnering with @privy_io, a Stripe company, to bring embedded wallets to the XRP Ledger. Developers will be able to build payment experiences with XRP, RLUSD and other digital assets on XRPL directly into their products, without requiring users to manage their own keys. The integration will also enable agentic commerce through programmable wallets that let AI agents hold funds and transact, including through x402 payments. Built for payments, XRPL is already powering the next wave of commerce. To date, it has processed 13M agent payments, which now account for roughly 25% of network activity.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Nathan Allman, Ondo's founder. Our hearts are with his family and loved ones. Nate’s brilliance, humility, and drive shaped every part of what Ondo is today. His belief in the power of technology to create a more open, accessible financial system lives on in everything we build. The impact he had on this industry, and on all of us personally, cannot be overstated. Nate also helped us build a durable organization with experienced leaders across all facets of the business. Ian De Bode, Ondo Finance’s longtime President, will serve as CEO. Ian has been leading our strategy, product, and day-to-day operations for over two years and has the full confidence of the leadership team. We will continue building what Nate started. That is the most meaningful way we know to honor him.

Good morning, Las Vegas! 🌄 Great week ahead for crypto and $XRP. Glad we could add to the skyline.

Post-quantum readiness on XRP Ledger (XRPL) is not a single upgrade. It is a fundamental architectural shift in how digital assets are secured over the long term. This transition will impact key management, validator infrastructure, and how users interact with the network. We are introducing a multi-phase roadmap targeting full readiness by 2028, with work already underway to evaluate quantum-resistant signatures, roll out hybrid models alongside existing systems, and define a clear migration path. In collaboration with Project Eleven and our internal cryptography team, we are working to accelerate this transition for XRPL. More below ↓

NEW: Rakuten will allow $XRP to be used as a payment method for its 44 million customers. The move integrates XRP into Rakuten’s consumer payments ecosystem, expanding real-world utility for crypto in retail transactions.

We’re taking a more proactive, AI-driven approach to strengthening XRPL security. That includes AI-assisted testing across the development lifecycle, a dedicated red team, and higher standards for how changes are evaluated before they go live. As XRPL scales to support global payments, tokenized assets, and institutional use cases, our goal is to continuously strengthen its reliability. The reality is the work of building secure, reliable financial infrastructure is never done. More in the post ↓
