Arf is bringing settlement liquidity to the @XRP Ledger. Cross-border payments move trillions of dollars every year, but the capital needed to move that money often remains tied up across markets. That’s why we’re partnering with @Ripple to bring RLUSD-powered settlement liquidity to licensed cross-border payment companies on the XRP Ledger (XRPL).

Last week we announced that we've partnered with @Ripple to bring $RLUSD to our Unified Order Book. Here's why that matters ... Most stablecoins stop at trading. But RLUSD is for payments, card transactions, and real-world settlement, all NYDFS-approved and backed 1:1 by USD.

Ripple surveyed 1,000+ global finance leaders in 2026. A few things stood out: on.ripple.com/4bC1c6E → 72% say digital assets are now table stakes to stay competitive → 74% see stablecoins as a cash-flow tool, not just a payment rail → 89% of those surveyed say digital asset custody is a top priority Most finance leaders aren’t debating digital assets anymore. They’re figuring out how to build with them and who to build with.

Read this before you react to the Fed today: XRP surpassed 7.7 million non-empty wallets for the first time in its 13-year history, with active addresses hitting a five-week peak of 46,767 on March 16. Tokenized commodities on XRP have grown from $111 million to $1.14 billion in 2026, giving XRP over 15% of global tokenized commodities. Daily transactions on the XRP surged to nearly 3 million in the last week, with AMM pools increasing to 27,000. Those metrics are the same at 3.5% or 3.75%. Learn more: evernorth.xyz/press-release-…

We always knew XRP wasn't a security - and now the @SECGov has made clear what it is: a digital commodity. Grateful to the Crypto Task Force for working to deliver the clarity that markets, investors, and innovators have long deserved.
