More than 2 billion people worldwide lack access to safe water at home.💧 Addressing the global water crisis requires collective action.
We're proud to join @Water in support of Get Blue, a campaign helping expand access to safe water for communities around the world.

New episode of All About Blockchain 🎧
Ripple SVP @ericvanm sat down with @DuffieDarrell from @StanfordGSB and discussed the importance of privacy, tokenized treasuries, stablecoins, and why AI making payments on your behalf might be closer than you think.
A great listen for builders, regulators, and the curious.

Proud to support U.S. teachers and classrooms through @Ripple’s $25M commitment to @DonorsChoose and Teach For America. Delivered primarily through RLUSD, it’s a meaningful example of how stablecoins can drive real-world impact—starting in the classroom.
Teachers power the future—and we’re proud to support them: on.ripple.com/4m29TLP
Starting with Teacher Appreciation Week, Ripple is committing $25M to U.S. classrooms through @DonorsChoose & Teach For America, supporting critical resources and financial literacy initiatives, with funding made possible through $RLUSD.
The wildfires across California have caused such devastation — our hearts are with those affected. Grateful to see @Ripple & @MoonPay contributing to relief efforts supporting @LAFDFoundation during an unimaginable time for so many.
Ripple and @MoonPay have donated $50,000 of $RLUSD to @LAFDFoundation in support of the first responders on the frontlines of the California wildfires. We are continuing to evaluate how we can best help these critical efforts. #RippleImpact

We’re excited about advancing @Ripple payments and RLUSD use cases beyond their role in enterprise finance. Our partnership with @RESCUEorg will be a game-changer - leveraging blockchain tech for humanitarian aid delivery...providing critical support when it's needed most.
