XRP Goes To War On October 5 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On October 5, XRP goes to war, and the weapon isn't a price pump. It's a key. The XRP Ledger's Permission Delegation upgrade has entered its 14-day activation countdown and could go live October 5 if validator support holds. Master keys stay locked in the vault. Delegates get a badge instead: up to ten specific permissions, and never the keys. Jeff and Chip break down why that's the feature compliance departments, stablecoin issuers and AI agents have been waiting for, while XRP sits at $1.50 an

At the same time, the XRP Ledger Foundation is talking openly about writing TradFi primitives directly into the XRPL, including lending, infrastructure and agentic payments. Flare is experimenting with new ways to generate XRP rewards. Canton continues advancing institutional settlement infrastructure. And while all o
XRP Is The Key To Money (opens the original)
Read excerpt
XRP may be becoming the key to something much bigger than payments. Ripple is challenging the idea that every regulated stablecoin is created equal. A money transmitter license, state trust charter, and federal prudential supervision each carry different reserve requirements, verification standards, and consequences if an issuer fails. As stablecoins become part of the financial system, the level of regulatory oversight behind them could determine which assets institutions are willing to trust.
