flying start to the week! the crazy thing is we can’t even share 99% of what we’re working on. so much behind the scenes. all i can say is that sleeping is not an option this week.

$XRP RUMOR CHECK Now BlackRock supposedly signed a $6.5 trillion $XRP tokenization deal, and apparently $650 trillion in real estate is about to move onto XRPL in a few days. Seriously, where are people getting this shit? There’s no BlackRock announcement, no filing, nothing showing either deal exists. Some of these posts are even trying to get people to buy completely different tokens. If you’re telling people trillions of dollars are about to move onto XRPL, show us where BlackRock actually said that. A video on 𝕏 isn’t proof. The whale story is getting stretched too. Ali Martinez shared data showing wallets holding between 10 million and 100 million $XRP dropping from 351 to 339. Exchange balances also reportedly increased by about 50 million $XRP. That doesn’t mean whales suddenly dumped everything or that $XRP is heading to $0.98. Wallets move funds around, exchanges move funds around, and addresses can move in and out of those balance groups. None of that proves those coins were sold. Arf and Ripple announced a partnership on Oct. 22 to provide short term RLUSD funding on XRPL for licensed companies that handle payments across borders. These companies sometimes need money available before payments are fully settled. Arf plans to provide that funding in RLUSD, usually for one to five days. Arf already reports about $10 billion in annual settlement volume across its business, but that doesn’t mean $10 billion is suddenly moving through XRPL. We don’t have the numbers for this new agreement yet, and the native lending features planned for later still aren’t live. Evernorth also filed paperwork for a financing arrangement with a Cantor Fitzgerald affiliate. The agreement could allow Evernorth to raise up to about $80 million by selling shares, with some of that money potentially going toward additional $XRP purchases. The part people are skipping is that Evernorth hasn’t announced it raised the full amount or bought $80 million in $XRP. The agreement gives the company the option to raise money. It doesn’t mean those purchases already happened.

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.

I want to @CryptoFightWeek

the xrp eco has never been in a better position
