Something bigger is happening around XRP—and it isn't just one headline.
Ripple President Monica Long has been recognized as one of the most influential leaders in stablecoins as RLUSD continues gaining momentum. MoonPay has connected FedNow to its platform, bringing real-time 24/7 payments another step closer to digital assets. Franklin Templeton now leads tokenized Treasury issuers with $1.6 billion in on-chain AUM growth, while Citadel Securities has made its first major crypto investment with a $400 million commitment to Crypto.com focused on tokenized securities and derivatives.
At the same time, the CLARITY Act continues advancing in Washington, providing the regulatory framework institutions have been waiting for.
These aren't isolated stories.
They're all pointing in the same direction.
In today's episode of **On The Chain**, Jeff and Chip connect the dots behind XRP, Ripple, RLUSD, FedNow, tokenization, stablecoins, institutional adoption, and why the financial system appears to be converging faster than ever before.
We also go **Around the World**, breaking down today's biggest geopolitical stories, including election integrity, Scott Bessent, Marco Rubio, government oversight, Canada, and the global developments shaping markets and policy.
**If you want to understand what's happening—not just the headlines, but how they all fit together—this is the episode you don't want to miss.**
