“If you hold it for three hours and six seconds, you get three hours and six seconds worth of interest,” Kaul said. She added: “Nobody can do that today.”

The technology sits inside Franklin Templeton’s Benji platform, launched on June 10, 2025. It processes second-by-second interest calculations, ownership transfers, and daily distributions, including weekends and holidays.

The more Franklin Templeton talks about this, the more bullish I get on $XRP, stellar:native, and hedera-hashgraph:native.

What This Means for Institutional Capital

The numbers behind intraday yield are significant at scale. At a hypothetical 4% annual yield, $100 million earns approximately $457 in one hour and $10,959 in 24 hours.

Institutions moving large amounts of capital between investments, payments, and trading activities stand to capture income that previously went uncollected.

Kaul put it plainly: “There is not a single cent in her portfolio that will be idle.”

XRP Ledger Enters the Picture

X Finance Bull connected this technology to three networks. XRP Ledger is one of them. On September 18, 2025, Franklin Templeton, Ripple, and DBS Bank announced plans to link sgBENJI tokenized money market fund shares with RLUSD through DBS Digital Exchange. Franklin Templeton selected XRPL for sgBENJI because of its speed, efficiency, and low transaction costs.

On October 22, 2026, Franklin Templeton issued approximately $150 million in additional sgBENJI shares on XRPL. Two issuances of roughly 72.18 million shares each brought the recorded balance to approximately 192.7 million shares, valued at around $200 million at $1.039 per share. The firm’s XRP ETF, XRPZ, reported approximately $363.11 million in net assets as of September 15, 2026.

Stellar and Hedera Also Involved

Franklin Templeton launched its OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund, FOBXX, on Stellar in April 2021. It became the first U.S.-registered mutual fund to use a public blockchain for recording ownership and processing transactions. The fund held more than $650 million in assets on Stellar as of April 30, 2026.

On Hedera, Archax introduced near-second-by-second cash flow technology on June 11, 2026. It distributes income from tokenized securities through USDC.

Lloyds Banking Group, Aberdeen Investments, and Archax completed a UK-first transaction on July 14, 2025, using tokenized money market fund units and UK government bonds as collateral for foreign exchange trades on Hedera.

Institutional Infrastructure Builds

Franklin Templeton continues expanding its tokenized finance operations. In February 2026, the firm launched a program with Binance allowing institutions to use tokenized money market fund shares as trading collateral held in off-exchange custody.

In June 2026, it partnered with MoonPay Trade to connect stablecoins with tokenized money market investments for treasury management and liquidity.

X Finance Bull sees the convergence of these developments as significant for XRP, XLM, and HBAR long term.

The post Pundit: This Franklin Templeton Statement Makes Me More Bullish On XRP, XLM, and HBAR appeared first on Times Tabloid.

In the summer of 2015, Greece’s financial system was failing in real time. Banks shut their doors. ATMs across Athens ran out of euros. Capital controls froze the movement of money for millions of people. Tourists on the Greek islands felt it too.

Cards Refused, ATMs Empty

Mellon was vacationing in Mykonos with his family when the crisis reached the beaches. He attempted to pay at a restaurant with his credit card. The restaurant refused it. He then went to an ATM. Every machine he found was out of euros.

He asked whether the restaurant would accept Bitcoin. They told him they would only accept XRP, the digital asset created by Chris Larsen of Ripple Labs.

“Thanks to XRP, Ripple Labs, I was able to pay my restaurant, my taxi and my hotel bill,” Mellon said in the interview.

Mobile Wallets vs. Banks

The interviewer pressed Mellon on what the experience meant for the financial system. His response was clear.

“It’s turning into like the mobile wallets versus banks,” he said. “You control your own money. You don’t need a bank.”

When the anchor suggested this scenario could repeat itself if banks turned insolvent, Mellon agreed without hesitation.

He also described conditions on the island as increasingly tense. The situation at the airport deteriorated as tourists rushed to leave. “It was quite terrifying,” he said. “Even at the airport was turning into a mob scene just to get off the island.” His sympathy extended to Greek residents living through the collapse. “My heart really goes out to the people,” he said.

A Clip Resurfacing Now

The footage predates most public awareness of XRP by several years. Mellon gave the interview at a time when XRP was still largely unknown outside early crypto circles. SMQKE noted that few people had seen the clip before sharing it.

The interview stands as one of the earliest documented examples of XRP functioning as a practical financial tool during a real crisis, recorded on live television by a prominent public figure.

The post Crypto Billionaire Matthew Mellon Explains How XRP Saved Him During A Banking Crisis appeared first on Times Tabloid.

While the price has struggled to reflect the broader activity surrounding the XRP Ledger, institutions continue to enter the ecosystem, developers are competing at hackathons, tokenized assets are expanding, and new amendments are creating more opportunities for DeFi.

The progress is visible and documented, yet XRP’s market performance has not fully reflected that growth. That gap is the focus of a video posted on X by prominent XRP commentator Digital Asset Investor.

XRP Price Will Match Progress pic.twitter.com/lUxJWb74mW

— Digital Asset Investor (@digitalassetbuy) October 25, 2026

DAI’s Prediction

Digital Asset Investor addressed the disconnect head-on. “I know everybody’s frustrated right now about XRP’s price,” he said, “but my prediction is that everything that you’re seeing going on on the ground right now, the price will eventually match all the plumbing that’s been laid and all the foundation that’s been laid.”

He cited a range of developments contributing to that foundation. Institutions are coming onto the XRP Ledger. Hackathon competitors are building for XRPL. Community activity around culture and art is at an all-time high. Tokenized assets are ramping up. New amendments are unlocking liquidity and capital through DeFi.

“The XRP community is literally where everything is currently unfolding,” he said. “Those prices will match. It’s just a matter of time and I think they’ll match in a big way.”

Community Responses

Reactions to the video were mixed. Apache XRP pushed back firmly. “XRP price performance is pathetic and you know it,” he wrote. “People would of made money in potato stocks.”

Others raised structural questions. XRP Picasso acknowledged the activity but questioned the link between ecosystem growth and token demand. “Ripple’s growth and XRPL adoption don’t automatically guarantee higher token prices,” he wrote. “The real question is: does that progress create sustained XRP buying demand, or just better headlines?”

Peanut Gallery broadened the question to the wider market. “Are all these other crypto projects really making enough progress to justify their high prices?”

Jonezy challenged the supply side of the equation. He pointed to Ripple’s escrow releases, noting an average of 300 million XRP released per month and arguing it would take 12 years to deplete the escrow at that rate.

The Core Question

Digital Asset Investor’s argument rests on the assumption that ecosystem development eventually translates into price appreciation. His critics question whether that translation is automatic. The foundation he describes is visible. Whether it produces the price movement he anticipates remains an open question for the XRP community.

The post Top Investor Says XRP Price Will Match Progress. Here’s why appeared first on Times Tabloid.

His comment is a direct response to Ripple receiving final approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to launch Ripple National Trust Bank. He said there has “never been even bordering on as many positive developments that will affect XRP’s price.”

The Prediction Behind the Conviction

Digital Asset Investor was responding to comments from fellow commentator Crypto Bitlord, who called XRP “insanely undervalued” at $1.30 and predicted “a huge repricing event.”

Crypto Bitlord pointed to price behavior as his reasoning. He wrote that XRP has been too stable and too calm, and directed investors to study 2017 price history to understand how fast conditions can shift.

Digital Asset Investor acknowledged Crypto Bitlord’s reputation for inconsistency but stood firmly behind the analysis. “Today, he’s right,” he said. He added his own perspective from lived experience: “I was there in 2017, 2018. Things change very fast in this.”

What the Bank Charter Means for XRP

Ripple National Trust Bank now operates under federal supervision. The OCC charter authorizes Ripple to manage the reserves backing RLUSD, its stablecoin, and to provide digital asset custody services to institutions. 

This positions Ripple as one of the only crypto-native companies with a federally chartered banking structure in the U.S. Institutions that previously avoided Ripple due to regulatory uncertainty now have a clear, supervised pathway into its ecosystem.

Why XRP Benefits Directly

RLUSD runs on the XRP Ledger and functions as collateral inside Ripple Prime, Ripple’s brokerage platform. As RLUSD usage grows, transaction volume on the XRP Ledger grows with it. XRP is the native asset of that ledger. Federal oversight of RLUSD reserves adds institutional credibility that drives adoption at scale.

The bank charter does not stand alone either. RLUSD’s market value has more than doubled since the start of 2026, now sitting at $2.6 billion. Multiple financial institutions across the globe have also adopted Ripple’s payment infrastructure.

A Convergence Analysts Are Watching

Digital Asset Investor closed his video with conviction. He said the repricing is coming and it’s just a matter of time. The regulatory milestone, the institutional partnerships, and the stablecoin growth are all building simultaneously.

Analysts are looking at XRP at $1.30 and calling it a significant discount. The bank charter gives that argument a foundation in verified regulatory action.

The post Huge XRP Repricing Event appeared first on Times Tabloid.

The post references a financial reset scenario, a theory circulating in XRP circles for years, suggesting a systemic global event will precede a major price move for the asset.

What Pete is Claiming

The “going DARK” language alludes to a collapse or disruption of legacy financial infrastructure. Pete elaborated in the replies. When one commenter noted that systems would all have to switch the flip on XRP simultaneously, Pete agreed.

The suggestion is that XRP would emerge as a settlement asset on the other side of that disruption of the global financial system. Many who believe this theory point to XRP’s design as a bridge asset, and they expect it to power the emerging financial system.

After everything goes DARK.

XRP will rise to $1000.

Get Ready.

— Pete (@peteskeetpete) October 26, 2026

How the Community Responded

Reactions were divided. Several supporters agreed, with one saying everything was “for sure going dark”. Another said the community was already deep enough in the darkness. One commenter suggested XRP could reach 4 to 6 digits, placing Pete’s $1,000 target at the low end.

Skeptics pushed back with force. One commenter flatly said it would not happen, prompting Pete to tell him to quit trying to be slick. Rick followed up by calling Pete a “brainwashed dumbass.”

Others called it a scam, and another compared him to Jake Claver who many have lost faith in because of his failed predictions. One commenter put a realistic near-term price at $3 or $4. Another said he believed in XRP but was not holding his breath on a timeline.

The $1,000 Target Has Serious Backing

Despite the community pushback, the $1,000 price target is not unique to Pete. Dom Kwok, co-founder of EasyA and a former Goldman Sachs analyst, has repeatedly predicted XRP will reach $1,000 by 2030. He has maintained that position through multiple market conditions throughout 2026.

In September 2026, Kwok posted that “$1,000 is more likely than ever,” a statement that reached hundreds of thousands of views within hours. The foundational argument for the target rests on XRP’s role in cross-border payments.

Kwok has previously argued that crypto valuations are driven by network utility and liquidity demand, not conventional financial metrics. Whether the market reaches that level by 2030 remains an open question.

The post Pundit: After Everything Goes Dark. XRP Will Rise to $1000. Get Ready appeared first on Times Tabloid.

The numbers come directly from Santiment’s on-chain tracking platform. They show large holders are quietly taking control of an increasingly large portion of XRP’s total circulating supply.

Whales Now Hold 68.48% of All XRP

Santiment data shows wallets holding at least 10 million XRP now control 46.87 billion tokens. That represents 68.48% of XRP’s total circulating supply.

X Finance Bull’s post states that this is “the highest share since November 2022.” The chart shared alongside the post confirms the figure, with XRP’s price sitting at $1.2893 at the time of the data snapshot.

The scale of concentration is notable. A relatively small number of large wallets now hold more than two-thirds of all XRP in circulation. That dynamic has historically reduced the supply available on open markets.

BREAKING $XRP WHALES NOW CONTROL 68.5% OF THE SUPPLY!

That's 46.87 BILLION XRP held by wallets with 10M+ tokens, the highest share since November 2022, according to Santiment.

Whales keep accumulating around $1.29. Who's still buying with them? pic.twitter.com/DuWAS842tq

— X Finance Bull (@Xfinancebull) October 27, 2026

Accumulation Has Been Steady Through 2026

The Santiment chart covers data from early 2023 through late 2026. It shows whale holdings climbing steadily through 2025 and into 2026.

The percentage of supply held by 10 million+ wallets dipped during the 2024-2025 price run-up, then resumed its climb as XRP’s price compressed back toward the $1.29 range.

This pattern suggests large holders have been buying during periods of lower price activity. The accumulation has not been a sudden event. It has built gradually over an extended period.

Why This Signals Bullish Conditions for XRP

When a high percentage of circulating supply moves into large, long-term wallets, less of that supply is available for sale on exchanges. Reduced sell-side supply can create upward price pressure when demand increases. This is a basic function of supply and demand dynamics in any asset market.

XRP’s current whale concentration of 68.48% puts meaningful supply in the hands of holders who are not actively selling. The fact that accumulation has continued at the $1.29 level shows conviction from large buyers at current prices.

On-chain data of this type is one of the more reliable signals analysts use to assess market positioning. It reflects actual wallet behavior rather than sentiment or speculation.

What the Data Shows Going Forward

The combination of high whale concentration, steady accumulation, and a compressed price range gives XRP a constructive on-chain setup. X Finance Bull’s post asks “who’s still buying with them?” The Santiment data provides a clear answer. Large holders are actively adding to their positions, pulling the supply off exchanges.

X Finance Bull Addresses the Confusion

Crypto commentator X Finance Bull posted a response on X to the growing questions circulating in the XRP community. His position was clear. “A banking license doesn’t mean the price has to skyrocket overnight,” he wrote.

He listed adoption, liquidity, and real usage as the factors that matter long-term. He also confirmed his outlook remains strong. “I’m still extremely bullish on $XRP,” he said, adding that he expects “some big months ahead.”

Community Reactions Split on Expectations

Responses to the post revealed a divide in how XRP holders are processing the news.

One commenter, Fran, pushed back on the expectation of an immediate price reaction. “Did people really expect a trust bank charter to show up on the chart the next day?” she wrote. “That kind of news usually plays out over quarters, not candles.”

The comment from BULLS AND BEARS took a different angle. “Well, news like this ought to have triggered a price surge,” they wrote. “It was significant, major news.” They also referenced the experience of long-term holders, noting that those who held XRP had “been in the red for years” while other assets made gains.

Two Different Timelines

The exchange reflects a genuine tension in the XRP community. Some holders entered years ago and have endured extended periods of underperformance relative to other digital assets. For them, a regulatory approval of this scale carries weight beyond the technical. It represents a potential turning point after a long wait.

X Finance Bull’s argument is that institutional milestones do not translate into immediate price movement. The OCC approval strengthens Ripple’s regulatory foundation and enables new banking activities, including managing reserves for RLUSD and providing fiduciary digital asset custody services. Those functions take time to build out and integrate.

What Comes Next for Ripple

The approval marks the conclusion of a process that began with conditional OCC approval in December 2025. Ripple National Trust Bank now operates as a federally chartered institution within the regulated financial system.

Whether that translates into price appreciation, and on what timeline, remains the central question for XRP holders watching the space closely.

The post Expert: Why XRP Didn’t Pump After Ripple Received Banking Approval appeared first on Times Tabloid.

American Airlines, Subway, Kingfisher, and Trax are among the companies Humphries named as confirmed Ripple Treasury customers. That list alone signals how far Ripple has already penetrated corporate America.

Ripple’s Announcement

Ripple announced an expansion of capabilities for Ripple Treasury, the platform built on Ripple’s acquisition of GTreasury in 2025. The company described it as bringing together “AI powered automation, liquidity management and digital asset infrastructure to help businesses manage and move money around the clock.”

XRP ENTERS CORPORATE AMERICA WITH MASSIVE RIPPLE NEWS! BREAKING XRP NEWS UPDATE! pic.twitter.com/MRaJ0ImuoU

— Zach Humphries (@ZachHumphries) October 26, 2026

GSmart AI and the Push Toward Automation

Humphries highlighted GSmart AI as the centerpiece of the release. It is the platform’s treasury-native artificial intelligence layer, handling cash positioning, payment execution, liquidity management, reconciliation, and cashflow forecasting.

The goal, as Humphries explains it, is to move corporate treasury teams from simply viewing financial data to receiving automated recommendations. The next step is executing those actions on their behalf.

Humphries connects this directly to the emerging agentic economy, a future where AI systems transact on the internet more than humans do. “Ripple now understands the relevance here,” he said, “and understands how big this is going to be.”

24/7 Returns on Digital Assets

Humphries also highlighted the 24/7 yield capability. Eligible companies can now generate returns on qualifying digital assets held in Ripple wallets, including RLUSD, during nights, weekends, and holidays. Businesses put idle operating cash to work without managing the underlying digital asset transactions themselves.

Humphries cited survey figures from Ripple’s accompanying report to show why this matters. 46% of organizations increased their U.S. cash balances over the past year. 86% of treasury professionals said they would consider real-time money market funds if those products met their investment policies.

Integration Over Replacement

The biggest takeaway for Humphries is that Ripple Treasury embeds crypto rails inside existing systems. It supports the treasury software companies already use rather than asking them to abandon existing infrastructure. He sees this as the answer to a long-standing concern around XRP adoption. Digital assets enter through familiar software. No direct XRP purchase required.

The Road Ahead for XRP

Humphries notes the named companies are Ripple Treasury customers, not confirmed XRP users yet. They are in the pipeline. He argues the infrastructure is now in place for that to change and believes it positions XRP for price discovery and a new all-time high this cycle.

The prediction comes as DTCC advances its tokenization plans and Ripple Prime secures a position within its clearing infrastructure.

“The DTCC will settle in XRP watch how it unfolds,” unknownDLT wrote. The commentator added that only those who understood the development early would experience the moment firsthand, while others would watch from the sidelines.

Although DTCC has not confirmed plans to use XRP for settlement, Ripple Prime’s recent entry into its clearing network provides a concrete development behind the prediction.

The DTCC will settle in XRP watch how it unfolds.

Only a few who truly understood will experience this moment; the rest will watch from the sidelines.

— {x} (@unknowDLT) October 26, 2026

Ripple Prime Enters DTCC’s Clearing Network

Ripple Prime joined the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC) participant directory on March 2, 2026, under clearing broker code 0443. A DTCC notice dated February 27 confirmed approval for its over-the-counter trading activity.

This development gives Ripple Prime access to established securities-clearing infrastructure. However, it does not confirm that DTCC will use XRP to settle securities transactions.

DTCC is also preparing to tokenize Russell 1000 stocks, major exchange-traded funds and U.S. Treasuries. Its plans could expand the use of blockchain infrastructure in traditional financial markets, although DTCC has not confirmed that XRP will power these transactions.

Commenter Predicts Wider Institutional Adoption

X user RESEDARAN responded to unknownDLT by connecting the prediction to regulatory changes and the potential for greater institutional adoption.

“The BCBS was to make a decision back in January 2026 but did not, once they do, it will only take one institution to begin the flow,” RESEDARAN wrote. The commenter predicted that DTCC would become the first of several institutions to adopt the technology.

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) introduced its crypto-asset exposure requirements on January 1, 2026, rather than postponing their implementation. However, the committee is preparing revisions to its 2022 guidance, with further developments expected during 2026.

Neither the regulatory changes nor the ongoing review confirms that DTCC will adopt XRP. RESEDARAN’s prediction remains a personal assessment of how institutional adoption could develop.

XRP and the Cost of Pre-Funding Payments

RESEDARAN also noted that traditional payment arrangements require businesses to pre-fund transactions, leaving substantial capital tied up in the financial system.

“For the past 50 years corporate has had to pre-fund every single payment allowing $ trillions for banks to play with and manipulate all from swift,” the commenter wrote. RESEDARAN believes Ripple’s technology and XRP could help reduce this reliance on pre-funded liquidity.

Pre-funding is a recognised challenge in correspondent banking, where financial institutions may need to maintain balances across different markets to facilitate cross-border payments. However, the claim that trillions of dollars are tied up specifically through this process should be treated as commentary rather than a verified statistic.

For XRP, the distinction between existing institutional access and confirmed settlement use remains important. Ripple Prime has secured a place within DTCC’s clearing network, but DTCC has yet to announce XRP as a settlement asset. UnknownDLT’s prediction therefore depends on a future development that the institution has not confirmed.

The post Crypto Pundit: DTCC Will Settle In XRP. Watch How It Unfolds appeared first on Times Tabloid.

The reversal is striking, and Levi Rietveld, creator of Crypto Crusaders, broke down exactly what the new Ripple partnership means for XRP in a new video.

From Delisting to Deep Integration

Robinhood delisted XRP in 2020 after the SEC sued Ripple Labs, alleging the token was an unregistered security. The lawsuit suppressed XRP’s price and many exchanges delisted it in the U.S. Robinhood only relisted XRP for U.S. customers in late 2024, following a shift in the regulatory environment. Two years later, Robinhood has gone far beyond simply listing the asset.

Ripple and Robinhood announced a multi-layered partnership covering RLUSD, Ripple Prime, and Ripple Treasury. RLUSD is already live on Robinhood Chain and Bitstamp by Robinhood. The main Robinhood app will add RLUSD later this year.

Robinhood confirmed it will leverage RLUSD on the XRP Ledger for institutional settlement, extending the stablecoin’s utility across Bitstamp’s growing institutional business.

ROBINHOOD JUST PLUGGED INTO $XRP!! pic.twitter.com/8cumHO4YCp

— Levi | Crypto Crusaders (@LeviCryptoGuy) October 27, 2026

Ripple’s Infrastructure Goes Company-Wide

Rietveld emphasized that this partnership goes well beyond a token listing. “They are plugging into the Ripple treasury to automate their own global company cash, using Ripple Prime for financing, and rolling out RLUSD across Robinhood and their Bitstamp exchange,” he said. Robinhood is adopting Ripple’s backend infrastructure across its entire operation, not just its trading interface.

Ripple Treasury will manage Robinhood’s internal cash operations. Ripple Prime will handle financing. The XRP Ledger sits at the core of the institutional settlement layer. Every large on-chain transaction through Robinhood or Bitstamp runs through that infrastructure.

XRP’s Role in the Settlement Layer

Rietveld focused on XRP’s specific function within the partnership. He noted that Robinhood confirmed RLUSD will settle institutional trades directly on the XRP Ledger. XRP serves as the native asset powering those transfers, burning on each settlement and providing liquidity beneath the platform.

Robinhood manages an $85 billion empire. Rietveld argued that once that volume moves across the ledger at scale, price targets that seem distant today become more realistic. “XRP reclaiming $2.50 or even $3 is right back on the table in my opinion,” he said, once Robinhood’s volume kicks in.

The arc from the 2020 delisting to today’s infrastructure partnership is significant. Robinhood once removed XRP to avoid regulatory consequences. Now it runs settlement operations on the network that XRP powers and has made bullish statements about the asset.
