A prediction circulating on X has renewed discussion about BlackRock filing for an XRP spot exchange-traded fund. Crypto enthusiast XRPMoonWalk has linked a potential filing to an extraordinary XRP price target of $100, while also pointing to September 5 and September 11 as significant dates.

XRPMoonWalk Connects BlackRock Filing to $100 XRP

In the post, XRPMoonWalk stated that if BlackRock files for a spot XRP ETF “later today or tomorrow,” XRP would “instantly climb to $100.” The crypto enthusiast added that about 35 hours remaining to determine whether the prediction would be correct.

XRPMoonWalk also highlighted a post from another X user, Seer, which read: “XRP Mr Pool: $100 9/5.” The reference appears to connect the $100 price target with September 5 and the broader community’s ongoing attempts to interpret cryptic posts attributed to the account known as Mr Pool.

Within the XRP community, Mr Pool has become associated with posts containing dates, numbers, and other symbols that followers attempt to decode as potential clues about XRP or broader financial developments. However, these interpretations remain speculative, and no established evidence that the account has inside information about XRP or future market events.

September 5 and September 11 Enter the Discussion

XRPMoonWalk further stated that if the expected development does not occur on September 5, “something is lining up for 9/11.” The enthusiast connected September 5 to “Bearableguy,” another figure frequently referenced within XRP-related speculative discussions.

The post stopped short of presenting the dates as confirmed events. Instead, XRPMoonWalk described the theory as a personal feeling, writing that they believed BlackRock may have already filed an application but that the announcement could be temporarily withheld.

No confirmed evidence supporting the claim that BlackRock has secretly filed an XRP ETF and is withholding the information.

BlackRock Remains a Major Point of XRP ETF Speculation

BlackRock’s potential entry into the XRP ETF market has remained speculative because of the firm’s position in the digital-asset investment industry. The asset manager already operates major spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF products.

Recent reporting has continued to note BlackRock’s absence from the XRP ETF race. CoinMarketCap reported that several asset managers recently amended their XRP ETF filings, including Grayscale, Bitwise, Canary, CoinShares, Franklin, 21Shares and WisdomTree, while BlackRock was notably absent.

Earlier reports also indicated that BlackRock had no immediate plans for a U.S. spot XRP ETF, although expectations surrounding a future filing have persisted.

For now, the claim that a BlackRock filing would immediately send XRP to $100 remains highly speculative.

The post Pundit: XRP Will Instantly Climb to $100 If BlackRock Does This Today appeared first on Times Tabloid.

A short exchange involving BlackRock CEO Larry Fink and XRP has resurfaced after crypto enthusiast Good Evening Crypto highlighted the clip in a post on X. The video shows a Fox interview in which the interviewer asks Fink whether BlackRock could launch another cryptocurrency exchange-traded fund, specifically mentioning XRP.

The interviewer first asks whether BlackRock would pursue another ETF. He then asks, “How about an XRP ETF?” Fink responds, “I can’t.” When the interviewer presses him for an answer, Fink again declines to comment, saying, “I can’t,” before the interview moves on.

Good Evening Crypto accompanied the clip with the comment, “The More I Watch This BlackRock Clip, The More Interesting It Gets For XRP.” The post presents Fink’s refusal to answer as an interesting detail for XRP holders, although the video itself does not confirm that BlackRock plans to launch an XRP ETF.

The More I Watch This BlackRock Clip, The More Interesting It Gets For $XRP … https://t.co/0rIl2vfKBY

— Good Evening Crypto (@AbsGEC) September 4, 2026

BlackRock Still Has No XRP ETF Filing

The clip has gained attention in the expanding spot XRP ETF market, but BlackRock has not filed for a spot XRP ETF. The asset manager continues to concentrate its cryptocurrency ETF offerings on Bitcoin and Ethereum through products such as the iShares Bitcoin Trust and iShares Ethereum Trust.

Meanwhile, other asset managers have already entered the XRP ETF market. Seven spot XRP ETFs, including offerings from 21Shares, Bitwise and Canary Capital, are currently trading. The market has accumulated more than $1.55 billion in net inflows, while total assets stand at roughly $1.4 billion.

Industry analysts and ETF executives have suggested that BlackRock generally prefers to see significant liquidity and scale before entering a new segment. Reports show the firm could be waiting for the broader XRP ETF market to approach $3 billion in assets before considering its own product.

Debate Over the Age of the Video

The post also drew criticism from some users who questioned the footage’s relevance. One commenter, Reckless, said Fink would likely have given the same response if asked about another cryptocurrency, calling the link to XRP speculation.

We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1

— TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025

Another commenter, Lary_K, focused on the video’s age. He claimed that the interview is almost three years old and argued that using the footage to assess BlackRock’s current position in the cryptocurrency market is misleading.

That distinction remains important because BlackRock’s current ETF strategy provides no direct indication that an XRP product is imminent. The firm has maintained involvement in tokenization through its BUIDL fund and partnerships such as Securitize, including interactions with the broader XRP Ledger ecosystem and RLUSD-related infrastructure.

The resurfaced clip therefore provides another point of interest for XRP observers, but Fink’s comments do not constitute confirmation of a BlackRock XRP ETF. For now, BlackRock remains outside the spot XRP ETF market while competing issuers continue to build assets and liquidity in the sector.

The post Pundit Says The More I Watch This BlackRock Clip, The More Interesting It Gets For XRP appeared first on Times Tabloid.

XRP is drawing serious institutional attention. A former BlackRock managing director stated on camera that XRP’s success is inevitable, and crypto commentator Digital Asset Investor agrees. With ETF inflows accelerating and September historically strong for XRP, the momentum behind the asset is building on multiple fronts.

The BlackRock Angle

The former BlackRock MD pointed to major financial institutions actively adopting Ripple’s technology as the key signal. “I think it’s inevitable,” he said. “It will actually grow.” He added that if big institutions are adopting XRP, “it will succeed.”

Digital Asset Investor extended that logic to ETFs. He stated, “A BlackRock XRP ETF is inevitable.” Nate Geraci, president of The ETF Store, has predicted that BlackRock will file for a spot XRP ETF and a Solana ETF, suggesting the firm may be waiting on a formal regulatory framework before submitting.

— Digital Asset Investor (@digitalassetbuy) August 30, 2026

Institutions Are Already Moving

The ETF data supports the conviction. XRP ETFs recorded eight straight days of inflows, pulling in $127 million in August alone. Institutions now hold 1.63% of XRP’s circulating supply. Digital Asset Investor sees that number growing significantly. He asked rhetorically what the price looks like when institutional holdings reach 20%, 30%, or 40%.

XRP’s market cap currently stands near CME Group. Digital Asset Investor noted that companies like BlackRock are paying close attention to XRP and that figure.

The $100 Prediction and Reality Check

On price predictions, Digital Asset Investor took a measured position. He acknowledged that prediction markets on Kalshi place the odds of XRP reaching $6 or above at only 7%. He called talk of “hundreds, thousands of dollars this year” an attempt to generate views rather than serious analysis. His own target, contingent on the passage of the CLARITY Act, sits between $5 and $20.

Seasonal XRP Growth

Historical data from BankXRP (@BankXRP), another well-known commentator, shows XRP finished green in four out of five Septembers since 2021. August 2026 closed up 31.29%. Digital Asset Investor agrees that September could be a strong month for XRP.

Regulatory Clarity as the Catalyst

Congressman Warren Davidson, speaking on the CLARITY Act, outlined why clear legislation matters. “The remedy is a law so it’s clear this is legal, and that’s illegal,” he said. The act aims to define where crypto sits relative to existing securities and commodities frameworks. Digital Asset Investor believes passage of that legislation is the primary catalyst for the next major price move in XRP.

The former BlackRock executive’s comments, the ETF inflow data, and the regulatory progress all point in the same direction. The institutional case for XRP continues to grow stronger.

The post XRP $100+ Price Predictions & Ex-MD At BlackRock XRP Success Statement appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Crypto commentator Xaif (@Xaif_Crypto) shared a video that has drawn significant attention across crypto circles. In it, former BlackRock Managing Director Edward Dowd offers his view on XRP and Ripple’s trajectory. Xaif’s post called Dowd’s comments “institutional consensus forming in real time.”

The clip comes from an interview where Dowd speaks directly about large financial institutions adopting Ripple’s technology.

What Dowd Said About Ripple

Dowd made his position clear. He said he believes XRP’s success is inevitable given the direction major institutions are moving. His reasoning centers on adoption. When large companies begin integrating Ripple’s technology into their operations, Dowd sees that as a signal that the network will grow. He stated, “I think it will succeed if these big institutions are adopting it.”

Dowd also acknowledged that XRP carries divided opinion. He noted that “you get people with very different opinions on it,” but suggested that institutional behavior ultimately matters more than public sentiment. For Dowd, large firms’ actions carry more weight than retail debate.

Former BlackRock Managing Director: Ripple / XRP success is inevitable.

When Wall Street's own start saying the quiet part out loud, that's not hype that's institutional consensus forming in real time. https://t.co/ONOMVFbC1m pic.twitter.com/xT3OmqpJSn

— Xaif Crypto (@Xaif_Crypto) August 29, 2026

The Institutional Adoption Argument

The interview also touched on a point that often gets lost in XRP discussions. Ripple doesn’t need to capture the entire payments market to be successful. The interviewer made this explicit, and Dowd agreed. He noted that institutions do not have to be “all in” for the network to generate significant value.

Critics of XRP often point to competitive pressure from other payment networks. Dowd’s position suggests that even a portion of global payment flow through Ripple’s infrastructure represents a substantial outcome. The total addressable market in cross-border payments runs into the trillions annually. A smaller share of that market still produces enormous transaction volume.

The Importance of the Source

Dowd is not a retail investor or anonymous online commentator. He held a senior position at BlackRock, one of the world’s largest asset management firms. When someone with that background says XRP success is inevitable based on institutional adoption trends, it draws more attention than typical crypto commentary.

— TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025

CryptoSensei, a prominent figure in the community, replied, “When people from inside traditional finance start saying it out loud, you know the conversation is changing.”

Where XRP Stands

Institutional interest in Ripple’s technology has grown steadily. Several major financial firms have explored or announced integrations with Ripple’s payment infrastructure. Dowd’s comments align with that trajectory. His assessment shows the trend is established enough that the outcome, at this point, is a matter of when rather than if.

The post Former BlackRock Managing Director Drops Ripple and XRP Bombshell appeared first on Times Tabloid.

BlackRock manages one of the world’s most extensive ETF lineups. The firm offers products covering equities, fixed income, commodities, and niche asset classes that most investors have never considered.

Yet XRP, one of the biggest assets in the crypto space, remains absent from its catalog. Crypto analyst Digital Asset Investor (@digitalassetbuy) believes that absence is temporary.

Nate Garacci’s Position

Digital Asset Investor highlighted a post from Nate Geraci, president of The ETF Store. Geraci called it “still wild” that BlackRock is “refusing to launch spot crypto ETFs other than Bitcoin and Ethereum, not even an index-based crypto ETF.” He cited the firm’s ETF success as the reason the current posture carries risk.

He concluded that he is “standing by my prediction that they capitulate at some point and launch additional spot crypto ETFs.”

The Robbie Mitchnick Connection

Digital Asset Investor expanded on Garacci’s post, focusing on Robbie Mitchnick. Mitchnick moved from BlackRock to Ripple. He produced a valuation of XRP in 2018 while still at BlackRock. Digital Asset Investor says that document reveals an understanding of XRP’s technical advantages and positions it favorably against Bitcoin.

Digital Asset Investor’s take on Mitchnick is clear: “This guy knows.” He added that Mitchnick “clearly, inside of that valuation, talks about all the advantages.” This report, co-authored by Susan Athey, puts XRP’s fair-market value at $4,813.

Digital Asset Investor claims that institutional knowledge about XRP already exists inside Ripple through someone who came directly from BlackRock.

The XRP ETF Case

BlackRock already knows XRP. A person central to early institutional research on the asset now works at Ripple. The firm has every structural capability to launch a spot XRP ETF, as it has launched similar products before. The only variable is timing.

We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1

— TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025

Garacci reinforces that point. A firm with 500 ETFs covering nearly every asset class has the infrastructure. The absence of a BlackRock XRP ETF is a choice, not a limitation. Digital Asset Investor believes that choice changes eventually.

Investor Positioning

Digital Asset Investor concluded his commentary with a clear recommendation. He called BlackRock’s current approach a strategic move and told his audience to “lock in.” He views the firm as not ignoring XRP, but managing the sequence of its market entries.

Garacci’s post and Digital Asset Investor’s commentary together show a growing institutional argument. BlackRock’s ETF expansion has a direction. XRP fits the profile of assets the firm has historically moved toward, and it could launch a spot XRP ETF soon.

The post BlackRock XRP ETF Showtime. You Need to See This appeared first on Times Tabloid.

The UK government has assembled one of the most significant financial coalitions in modern history. Backed by HM Treasury and the City of London Corporation, the Wholesale Digital Markets Champion and Taskforce now counts 54 institutions among its members.

Notably, Ripple had a seat at the table, sharing that space with BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, HSBC, Barclays, UBS, and more. Crypto commentator BankXRP (@BankXRP) shared the official taskforce member list on social media, highlighting the scale of institutional participation.

The image shows Ripple listed alongside some of the most powerful names in global finance, a coalition targeting up to £33 billion in additional UK economic output by 2035.

— 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗸XRP (@BankXRP) July 13, 2026

Ripple’s Role Goes Beyond Membership

Ripple is not simply a name on a list. The company has a defined operational role within the taskforce. Ripple is actively contributing to building secondary markets, tokenizing collateral, and supporting the issuance of the UK Digital Gilt Instrument, known as DIGIT, over the next 12 months.

The DIGIT pilot is central to the taskforce’s ambitions. Its success would make the UK the first G7 nation to issue tokenized sovereign debt. The taskforce has set a live tokenized repo trial by spring 2027 as its first milestone, with fixed income and derivatives to follow.

Ripple’s Credentials Speak for Themselves

Ripple’s acquisition of prime broker Hidden Road for $1.25 billion features in the Treasury-backed report as evidence of institutional-grade infrastructure converging with crypto-native capabilities. Santander UK’s white-label use of Ripple’s rails receives similar recognition.

Ripple’s track record with these same institutions runs deeper still. In May, it completed the first cross-border tokenized Treasury settlement on the XRP Ledger alongside Ondo Finance, Mastercard, and J.P. Morgan.

The XRP Ledger as Financial Infrastructure

Ripple has positioned the XRP Ledger as the underlying infrastructure for this new financial era. Earlier in 2026, Ripple partnered with Aviva Investors to launch tokenized traditional funds on the XRP Ledger. Through tokenized instruments on the XRPL, the company can offer a cheaper, better, and faster alternative to legacy equivalents.

The taskforce’s projected global market for tokenized real-world assets sits at $88 trillion by 2035. Ripple is one of only a handful of crypto-native firms granted full participation in the coalition driving that shift. The gap between XRP as a payments asset and XRP as institutional financial infrastructure is closing.

The post Ripple Joins BlackRock, J.P. Morgan, Others to Tokenize £33 Billion UK Debt appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Crypto Crusaders founder Levi Rietveld recently posted a video breaking down a BlackRock-linked warning on the CLARITY Act and what it means for XRP’s price.

The video features clips of SEC Chair Paul Atkins and Joseph Chalom, CEO of SharpLink and former 20-year Managing Director at BlackRock, where he led Strategic Ecosystem Partnerships.

Chalom’s Comments On Asia and Global Rules

In his video, Rietveld played a clip of Chalom discussing his travels through Korea and Hong Kong. Chalom said he’s very optimistic about crypto regulation in the long term. He warned that if the CLARITY Act stalls, Asian governments could pass their own rules and get ahead of the U.S. He said the industry needs “a lot more clarity” on rules, global rates and geopolitics.

Rietveld connected this to a broader competitive point. He argued that Japan, South Korea, and parts of Europe already move faster than the U.S. on crypto rules. He said banks lobbying against the CLARITY Act delay the bill because it would let crypto exchanges take market share from banks.

BlackRock Insider Reveals ripple:native Clarity Act BOMSHELL!!!https://t.co/zgKik8g0uS

— Levi | Crypto Crusaders (@LeviRietveld) July 4, 2026

The SEC Reforms

Rietveld also played a clip of Atkins describing “Project Crypto,” the SEC’s push to modernize digital asset rules. Atkins, who has led the pro-crypto SEC regime since Donald Trump took office, said the commission has delivered the certainty the community has been calling for. Issuers can now know whether a token is a security before they act.

Where the CLARITY Act Stands

The Senate Banking Committee advanced the CLARITY Act on May 14 by a vote of 15-9. Lawmakers placed the bill on the Senate Legislative Calendar in June. It still needs a floor vote, and that vote requires 60 votes to beat a filibuster. However, the bill did not pass by July 4, missing the White House’s stated target date.

What This Means for XRP

Rietveld predicted short-term turbulence for XRP once the market fully absorbs that the CLARITY Act missed its July 4 target. He said whales and institutional investors are positioning for a near-term correction.

He framed the longer view differently. He said crypto adoption will keep expanding regardless of the bill’s exact timeline, pointing to parallel movement in the U.S., Europe and Asia. His stated strategy is to dollar-cost average through volatility and treat six-month swings as noise against the longer cycle.

The post BlackRock Insider Reveals XRP Clarity Act Bombshell appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Over 140 companies launched Open USD (OUSD) on June 30. Ripple, Visa, Mastercard, BlackRock, and Google all signed on. The stablecoin uses consortium governance. No single company controls it, and partners share reserve earnings rather than one issuer keeping the yield.

Versan Aljarrah, founder of Black Swan Capitalist, posted about the launch and zeroed in on Ripple’s position within it. He pointed out that Ripple sits “right in the middle” of the announcement, positioning XRP as the bridge for moving that value globally.

Over 140 companies, including Ripple, Visa, Mastercard, @BlackRock, and Google, just launched (OUSD), a consortium-governed stablecoin.

— Versan | Black Swan Capitalist (@VersanAljarrah) June 30, 2026

A New Stablecoin With No Fees

OUSD charges nothing to mint or redeem. There’s no cap on issuance either. The entity behind it, Open Standard, distributes most reserve income back to the partner companies after a small management fee. That structure flips the usual stablecoin model, where the issuer keeps the yield and users get a flat dollar token in return.

For Aljarrah, the partner list itself tells the story. Ripple isn’t a bystander here. It’s embedded in the infrastructure layer, sitting alongside the companies that move money at the largest scale in the world.

Split Community Reactions

Replies to the post varied significantly. One commenter asked how XRP bridges value if every company on the list ends up using the same stablecoin. Another argued that the news is bullish for Ripple’s long-term role regardless, since the company seems focused on becoming essential to the digital-money movement rather than just owning a share of the market.

A third reply zoomed out, saying that whether OUSD or another regulated stablecoin wins out, the real story is that the world’s largest financial and tech companies are building blockchain-based payment infrastructure right now. One more reply joked that the timing explains why prices are dropping, since good news in this market always seems to coincide with red candles.

XRP’s Potential Role

The presence of Visa, Mastercard, BlackRock and Google signals that stablecoin infrastructure is moving from speculative territory into something closer to standard financial plumbing. Ripple’s spot in that group matters specifically to XRP holders.

If OUSD scales the way its backers intend, the network handling that value movement needs proven settlement rails. Ripple has spent years positioning XRP for exactly that role. The asset offers fast, low-cost cross-border settlement. A stablecoin with zero mint and redeem fees, backed by payment giants and asset managers, still needs a bridge to move efficiently between currencies and platforms.

That’s the connection Aljarrah drew. Whether OUSD becomes the dominant stablecoin or just one of several major players, Ripple’s presence in its launch group puts XRP in the conversation at the infrastructure level rather than the speculative one.

The post Ripple Is In the Middle of Mastercard, Visa, BlackRock to Position XRP As the Bridge appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Speculation surrounding a potential XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) involving BlackRock has resurfaced, with crypto commentator Jungle Inc drawing attention to what he believes is a more significant development taking place behind the scenes.

Jungle Inc referenced comments from market analyst Jake Claver, who suggested that BlackRock could eventually pursue an XRP ETF as institutional interest in the XRP Ledger (XRPL) continues to expand.

While ETF discussions often dominate headlines within the digital asset sector, Jungle Inc argued that the growing network of institutions and financial firms engaging with XRPL may be the more important story.

According to the commentator’s post on X, several major names have become increasingly associated with the XRP Ledger ecosystem. He pointed to companies including BlackRock, Mastercard, Franklin Templeton, DBS, Securitize, and Bitso as examples of organizations whose involvement has attracted attention from market participants monitoring XRPL’s development.

BlackRock XRP ETF speculation is heating up again.

Jake Claver says BlackRock could eventually file for an XRP ETF as institutional interest in the XRP Ledger grows.

And this is the bigger story:

BlackRock, Mastercard, Franklin Templeton, DBS, Securitize, Bitso…

The names…

— Jungle Inc | Markets & Future Systems (@jungleincxrp) June 16, 2026

Infrastructure Expansion Continues Across the XRPL Ecosystem

Jungle Inc emphasized that XRP’s future is not solely dependent on the approval of an ETF product. Instead, he highlighted the ongoing expansion of infrastructure within the Ripple and XRPL ecosystem.

The commentator noted that Ripple has continued to introduce new capabilities and services to increase utility across the network. Among the developments mentioned were RLUSD, MXNB, AI-agent payment functionality, and regulated settlement tools designed to support institutional-grade financial activity.

His comments suggest that the foundation for broader adoption is being established before any potential ETF approval becomes a reality. Rather than viewing an ETF as the primary catalyst for growth, Jungle Inc presented it as a possible outcome that could follow increased institutional participation and ecosystem maturity.

The post framed current developments as evidence that XRPL is actively evolving through technology, payment solutions, and financial infrastructure rather than remaining dependent on speculative investment products.

Community Responds With Skepticism Over ETF Predictions

While some members of the XRP community welcomed the observations, others expressed caution regarding the ETF narrative and the forecasts associated with it.

One commenter, known as BrutallyHonest, pointed out that Jake Claver had previously predicted XRP could reach $100 by December 2025. The remark appeared to question the reliability of Claver’s projections and suggested that investors should evaluate his latest comments carefully.

Another user, KameradLes, took a more direct approach, criticizing what he viewed as excessive hype surrounding XRP. Although he reaffirmed his belief in the digital asset itself, he rejected what he described as exaggerated claims often promoted within the community.

Despite those reactions, Jungle Inc’s central argument remained focused on the broader growth of the XRP Ledger ecosystem. His commentary suggested that if institutional adoption of XRPL continues to expand, discussions about a future XRP ETF may eventually shift from speculation toward a more realistic possibility.

The post BlackRock XRP ETF Speculation Is Heating Up Again. Here’s the Latest appeared first on Times Tabloid.

A recent post by crypto researcher SMQKE has highlighted the growing connections between major institutional finance players and blockchain infrastructure providers.

The post sheds light on Wormhole’s role in facilitating interoperability for BlackRock’s tokenized assets through Securitize and noted that Ripple’s stablecoin, RLUSD, is now live on the Wormhole network.

According to SMQKE, these developments create another avenue of access linking BlackRock’s tokenized ecosystem to Ripple’s broader digital asset infrastructure.

The tweet notes a series of partnerships and integrations that have gradually connected some of the largest names in traditional finance with blockchain-based settlement and interoperability solutions. While the post suggests a potential connection to XRP, the underlying developments center on the expanding relationship between BlackRock, Securitize, Wormhole, and Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin.

Remember, Wormhole facilitates direct interoperability for Blackrock and powers Securitize’s cross-chain capabilities which also utilizes RLUSD.

Now, RLUSD is live on Wormhole.

Another path of access for BlackRock to XRP.

Documented. https://t.co/PMuiInKzdw pic.twitter.com/CaoCBk95nY

— SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG) June 4, 2026

Wormhole’s Role in BlackRock’s Tokenized Fund Infrastructure

At the center of the discussion is Wormhole, a blockchain interoperability protocol that enables assets and data to move across different blockchain networks. Securitize, a leading tokenization platform, selected Wormhole as its interoperability provider to support the expansion of tokenized assets across multiple blockchain ecosystems.

This arrangement is particularly significant because Securitize manages infrastructure associated with BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, the USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund. Through Wormhole’s technology, BUIDL can extend its presence beyond a single blockchain and access liquidity across multiple networks, including Ethereum, Solana, and Avalanche.

The ability to move tokenized assets across chains has become increasingly important as institutions seek broader access to digital markets while maintaining operational efficiency and liquidity.

RLUSD Expands Through Wormhole Integration

SMQKE’s post also highlighted another recent development: RLUSD is now live on Wormhole. Ripple’s stablecoin has adopted Wormhole’s Native Token Transfers standard, allowing the asset to move across supported blockchain networks while preserving security and compliance requirements.

The integration builds on an existing relationship between Ripple and Securitize. Earlier initiatives introduced functionality for institutional holders of BlackRock’s BUIDL fund to access RLUSD for integrated smart contract mechanisms. This setup provides an additional liquidity option for participants operating within tokenized financial markets.

— TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025

As RLUSD becomes interoperable across multiple networks through Wormhole, it joins the same infrastructure environment that supports BlackRock’s tokenized fund operations, creating a more interconnected institutional ecosystem.

The XRP Connection Remains a Topic of Market Interest

The most discussed aspect of SMQKE’s tweet is the suggestion that these developments represent another pathway connecting BlackRock’s ecosystem to XRP. While the post frames the relationship as a growing point of access, the available information does not indicate that BlackRock is directly purchasing or utilizing XRP.

Instead, the connection stems from Ripple’s broader ecosystem. RLUSD, issued by Ripple, operates alongside the company’s wider suite of blockchain and payment solutions, which includes the XRP Ledger. As institutional participants gain exposure to infrastructure linked to Ripple products, market observers view this as increasing the visibility and relevance of Ripple’s technology stack.
