We recently integrated with the XRPL EVM Sidechain. Why? To unlock real-world asset liquidity across blockchains. Our off-chain, high-speed clearing tech taps into XRPL’s secure, EVM-compatible environment, building a connected, scalable foundation for tokenized asset trading.

Congrats @ashgoblue and the @evernorthxrp team on today’s launch! Evernorth fills the missing link today in XRP capital markets, and XRP usage in DeFi products. I’m proud to invest 50M XRP in the firm (you may see some wallet movement on this).

Gensler’s SEC has become unhinged. This will not, and should not, go unnoticed in an election year, as the SEC singlehandedly thinks it’s above the law, dragging the US further behind other G20 countries.

Gensler’s SEC has repeatedly acted outside the law – not going unnoticed by Judges admonishing the agency for a "gross abuse of the power entrusted to it by Congress" (DEBT Box case) and for acting without "faithful allegiance to the law" (Ripple case). Let’s not also forget

As a native San Franciscan, it's disheartening to see how the Tenderloin has been impacted by patchwork policy solutions over the years. The community needs urgent support and sustainable investments from the city and state to ensure that it can thrive moving forward.

OPINION: A longtime leader in the Tenderloin, Kate Robinson offers a three-part plan to fix the troubled neighborhood: 1. Declare a state of emergency to stop drug sales. 2. Provide funds for parks. 3. Address graffiti, illegal dumping, and trash issues.
