Did Ripple just flip the switch on XRP?
This week brought a wave of major developments across the XRP ecosystem:
• EUR CoinVertible officially launches on the XRP Ledger with Ripple custody technology
• RLUSD breaks into the Top 50 tokens by market cap
• The Permissioned DEX introduces optional compliance gating — while the open XRP DEX remains fully operational
• 100 million FXRP minted on Flare — meaning XRP is now actively generating yield
• Coinbase expands crypto-backed loans to include XRP
• Grayscale confirms advisors are increasingly fielding client demand for XRP exposure
This isn’t just price action.
It’s infrastructure.
It’s institutional access.
It’s regulatory positioning.
At the same time, geopolitical volatility is rising:
• Trump momentum surges in Florida
• Marco Rubio delivers a headline-grabbing speech
• NYC proposes massive budget changes
• California continues to see corporate exits
• Wealth tax rhetoric returns
Crypto and politics are no longer separate conversations.
Tonight, we separate signal from noise.
Is XRP entering a new phase?
Let’s break it down.
