XRP exploded higher this morning, briefly hitting $1.68 after a massive move over the past 48 hours.
So what changed — and why now?
Today we break down the XRP price surge and the bigger developments happening underneath it: institutional lending coming to the XRP Ledger, Ripple-backed private credit, RLUSD growth, record XRP ETF activity, Permission Delegation, Ripple Prime’s $275 million raise, and Brad Garlinghouse back at the White House.
Is the market finally reacting to infrastructure that has been building for years?
Plus, we dig into the latest from Washington, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the rapidly changing financial system, the breakdown in U.S.-Canada trade negotiations, and plenty more from around the world.
