The latest XRP ownership map posted by crypto enthusiast XRP Update on X offers a detailed look at how major labeled accounts hold XRP. Ripple-linked accounts currently lead the chart with 39.86% of the supply, while Upbit and Coinbase follow with 6.41% and 5.81%, respectively.

The accompanying chart tracks XRP ownership across labeled accounts, other wallets in the rich list, and addresses outside the top 10,000. It uses the 100 billion XRP maximum supply as its reference.

Ripple accounts lead the breakdown with 31 accounts controlling 39.86%. Upbit follows with 13 accounts holding 6.41%, while Coinbase accounts for 5.81% through 349 wallets.

Exchanges Hold Significant XRP Shares

The ownership map also shows several other major exchanges among the largest labeled holders.

Binance accounts for 2.75% through 147 accounts. Chris Larsen appears with seven accounts holding 2.53%, while Bithumb accounts for 1.84% across three accounts. Another single address, identified as “rJ9Ey7…gaUdt7,” accounts for 1.80%.

The chart also lists seven accounts associated with “ahbritto,” which represent 1.30% of the supply. Uphold accounts hold 0.97% through four wallets, while Bitbank accounts represent 0.57% across two wallets.

Together, these figures show that several exchanges and prominent XRP-linked accounts, alongside Ripple, hold substantial portions of the supply.

Thousands Of Other Accounts Hold XRP

The ownership data also shows a large share of XRP across accounts outside the major named entities. The chart attributes 25.85% to “Others in the rich list,” which covers 9,436 accounts. The wallets outside the top 10,000 account for another 10.30%.

X Finance Bull responded to XRP Update’s post by focusing on the importance of supply distribution. The commenter wrote, “This is why supply distribution matters more than people think,” and contrasted concentrated holdings with XRP spread across exchanges and thousands of wallets.

CryptoKitty also focused on Upbit’s position in the chart. Referring to the exchange’s 6.41% share, the commenter wrote, “Koreans really LOVE $XRP. The XRP Army in Korea is strong.”

The figures provide a snapshot of XRP ownership across Ripple, major exchanges, individual accounts, and thousands of other wallets. XRP Update’s post emphasizes the 39.86% attributed to Ripple-linked accounts and the sizable shares held by Upbit and Coinbase.

The post The XRP Ownership Map Is Getting Interesting. See the Top Three appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Crypto analyst CW (@CW8900) posted order book data showing significant sell-wall activity surrounding XRP on both Binance and Coinbase.

The chart covers a wide price range and reveals the scale of resistance XRP faces before any sustained upward move becomes viable. Volume registered at 13.443 million. The asset is consolidating near the bottom of an enormous range of stacked sell orders.

Sell ​​walls from $XRP Binance whales exist up to $15, and sell walls from Coinbase whales exist up to $31. pic.twitter.com/dZ87LdL5iP

Binance Whale Sell Walls Extend to $15

On Binance, whale sell walls stretch from just above current price levels to approximately $15. The chart displays dense horizontal red bands across this range. These represent large limit sell orders placed by large holders. The volume and distribution of these orders suggest that upward price movement on Binance will encounter persistent resistance at multiple levels below $15.

CW’s note identifies these orders as Binance whales’ sell walls, distinguishing them from Coinbase by their position on the left side of the chart and their concentration in the lower price range.

Coinbase Whales Have Placed Orders Up to $31

The Coinbase sell walls are more extensive. They begin at a similar price range but extend upward to approximately $31. The red horizontal bands on the right portion of the chart are denser and cover a wider vertical span. Whales on Coinbase have distributed sell orders across a much broader price range than their Binance counterparts.

The levels on Coinbase have dropped from the $33 level highlighted by another analyst in early September, but the highest level still sits far above XRP’s current price. The concentration of orders between $15 and $31 creates a layered ceiling that XRP would need to absorb before reaching those price levels.

What’s Next for XRP?

Green circles appear along the bottom of the chart near the $1.3580 level. These represent buy orders and large trade activity clustering close to the current price. The contrast between the buy activity at current levels and the sell walls above is the central data point in CW’s post.

XRP has whale-placed sell orders spanning from current levels to $31 across two of the world’s largest exchanges. The volume of supply stacked above current price suggests any significant rally will be gradual rather than sharp. How quickly buyers absorb that supply will determine the pace of any upward move.

The post XRP Sell Walls On Binance and Coinbase Target $15 and $31. Here’s the Significance appeared first on Times Tabloid.

The CLARITY Act cloture vote will happen tomorrow, September 15. Coinbase used its official account to address what it believes is at stake. The post reminded followers that the vote touches the lives of millions of Americans who use crypto to invest, save, and reduce costs.

Coinbase kept the message simple. “This isn’t a vote about politics. It’s about the millions of Americans and business owners who use crypto to invest, save, and cut down on costs.” The post closed with a direct statement to the Senate: “Every Senator needs to know it.”

The cloture vote on the CLARITY Act is tomorrow.

This isn’t a vote about politics. It's about the millions of Americans and business owners who use crypto to invest, save, and cut down on costs.

Every Senator needs to know it.

— Coinbase (@coinbase) September 14, 2026

A Call to Action

Coinbase followed up with a reply pointing followers to the Stand With Crypto Alliance, a non-profit organization dedicated to uniting global crypto advocates. The reply asked the community to contact their senators and push for a yes vote on the CLARITY Act.

Coinbase’s social media push follows CEO Brian Armstrong’s appearance on CNBC days earlier, where he said he believes the bill is ready for a yes vote. Coinbase wants its community to apply public pressure before Tuesday’s procedural vote, which requires 60 senators to advance the bill to full floor debate.

Republicans hold 53 seats, so at least 7 Democrats must cross the aisle for the bill to proceed. 7 to 10 Democrats have already shown support for the bill, and the pressure from the community could help push past that threshold.

The Community Responds

The crypto community engaged quickly after the post went up. Several users weighed in with their own takes on what the vote means for the industry. One commenter argued that voting against the bill is a vote against the best interests of all Americans. He pointed out that all politicians should make the best choice for constituents regardless of party.

Another user noted that whether the bill passes or not, a plan B exists. The SEC and CFTC have expressed willingness to move forward with regulation regardless of the outcome.

What Comes Next?

Tuesday’s vote is procedural, not final. If cloture passes, the bill moves to open debate and potential amendment before any final passage vote. If it fails, the bill is effectively dead for 2026, and Senator Cynthia Lummis, one of the key figures behind the bill, has said a new attempt would likely not happen until 2030.

Coinbase’s message shows the stakes the industry sees in the outcome. The company wants its community engaged before the window closes.

The post CLARITY Act News for XRP Holders: Coinbase States What Every Senator Must Know appeared first on Times Tabloid.

A massive change in Coinbase’s reported XRP holdings initially appeared to show that the exchange had received billions of XRP in a single hour. However, the dramatic increase did not represent a new purchase or transfer. It resulted from a wallet identification update that changed how Coinbase’s existing XRP holdings were recorded.

BSCN reported on X that Coinbase’s XRP balance appeared to jump by 4,870% to more than 5.5 billion XRP, based on data reported by XRP Rich List on September 8. The size of the increase immediately raised questions about whether Coinbase had suddenly acquired billions of dollars worth of XRP.

XRPScan’s subsequent clarification showed that the situation was different. No corresponding transfer of billions of XRP had taken place. Instead, XRPScan had identified 146 previously unlabeled wallets belonging to Coinbase and added those addresses to the exchange’s reported balance.

This update caused XRP holdings already associated with Coinbase to be reflected more completely in its rich-list ranking.

Coinbase’s Massive XRP Surge Was Not a New Purchase

Coinbase’s ripple:native balance appeared to jump 4,870% to more than 5.5 billion XRP within an hour, as reported by XRP Rich List on Sept 8.

The massive increase initially suggested the exchange had suddenly received billions… pic.twitter.com/6uqUbGKkZW

— BSCN (@BSCNews) September 9, 2026

XRPScan Identified 146 Coinbase Wallets

XRPScan’s clarification is central to understanding the reported surge. The blockchain data platform identified 146 wallets that had not previously been labeled as Coinbase addresses. Once those wallets received the Coinbase label, their existing XRP balances were incorporated into Coinbase’s reported holdings.

As a result, the exchange’s balance rose sharply on the XRP rich list without requiring Coinbase to receive a new 5.5 billion XRP transfer.

Coinbase now ranks third on the XRP rich list, with approximately 5.68 billion XRP attributed to its identified wallets. The figure therefore reflects the XRP held across the newly identified addresses rather than a single newly acquired balance.

The development also highlights the importance of distinguishing between changes in blockchain data labeling and actual asset movements. A sudden increase in an exchange’s reported holdings can result from address attribution changes rather than buying activity.

Nick Martin Explains Why Such Changes Can Be Misleading

Commenting on the development, Nick Martin said merchants frequently ask him whether a major balance movement means that a large investor has bought XRP.

“Almost never,” Martin said, explaining that identifying 146 previously unlabeled wallets within an hour represented a bookkeeping change rather than a major purchase.

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

— TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025

Martin added that the 5.68 billion XRP attributed to Coinbase “were sitting there yesterday too.” His comments reinforced XRPScan’s clarification that the reported increase did not indicate that Coinbase had suddenly accumulated the assets.

The incident provides an important distinction when interpreting XRP wallet data. Rich-list rankings depend partly on identification and labeling of wallet addresses. When an analytics platform connects previously unidentified addresses to a known exchange, the exchange’s reported balance can change substantially even when no new XRP enters its custody.

For Coinbase, the updated attribution places the exchange among the largest identifiable XRP holders. However, the 5.68 billion XRP figure should not be interpreted as evidence of a fresh multibillion-dollar XRP purchase.

The post XRP Rich List: Coinbase Ranking Position and Total Holdings appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Crypto analyst Steph Is Crypto (@Steph_iscrypto) posted a whale order chart for XRP on September 4 with a noteworthy observation: “Coinbase Whales are still targeting $33 for XRP this year.”

The chart he shared shows a dense wall of large sell orders stacked from current prices up to $33, with XRP trading at $1.4655 when the tweet was posted.

The Chart in Detail

The chart displays whale orders as horizontal red lines across a wide price range. These lines run from $5 to $35. The density is heaviest between $10 and $30, suggesting massive sell-side positioning at those levels. At the bottom, green circles mark clusters of large buy orders at the current price.

The concentration of buy activity near current levels stands in contrast to the sea of red above. Steph’s read on the chart is that whales are not just watching $33. They are actively positioned for it.

Coinbase Whales are still targeting $33 for ripple:native this year.

Wtf is going on??? pic.twitter.com/f7ZzD88zYb

— STEPH IS CRYPTO (@Steph_iscrypto) September 4, 2026

Assessing the $33 Target

The $33 figure is not new. Multiple analysts have pointed to it independently, using different methodologies. EGRAG CRYPTO derived it by averaging XRP’s historical cycle gains of 1,250% in 2017 and 560% in 2021, producing a projected 905% move from the current structure.

Analyst Cryptobilbuwoo0 applied a fractal argument, noting that XRP peaked near $3.30 in 2018 and that a 10x repetition of that move places the next peak at $33. EGRAG CRYPTO also identified a symmetrical triangle on the long-term chart, broken to the upside in late 2024, with Fibonacci extension targets converging near $30 to $33.

These are three separate analytical approaches reaching the same price level. The convergence gives the target more technical credibility than any single prediction alone would carry.

Whale Positioning and its Significance

Whale orders on platforms like Coinbase are significant because they reflect the intentions of large capital participants. When whales place sell orders at a specific level, it signals where they expect price to reach. It also signals where they plan to exit.

XRP sits at $1.4655 as of this chart. The distance to $33 is roughly 2,150%. Sistine Research has predicted that XRP could trade between $33 and $50 by 2027. The whale data suggests the distance is on the table for serious market participants.

The post This Chart Shows XRP Whales On Coinbase Are Still Targeting $33 This Year appeared first on Times Tabloid.

XRP is facing significant resistance across major exchange order books, with large sell orders reportedly positioned at several key price levels.

Crypto investor and data analyst CW highlighted this activity in a post on X, stating that Coinbase whales are “still blocking the rise” by maintaining a sell wall at $1.50. According to CW, additional sell walls appear at $1.70, $1.75, and $1.80, with Binance whales responsible for those higher levels.

The observation focuses on order book depth and the concentration of limit sell orders above XRP’s current trading range. If these orders remain in place, buyers could face difficulty pushing the token through the identified resistance levels.

— CW (@CW8900) August 24, 2026

$1.50 Coinbase Sell Wall Takes Center Stage

CW specifically identified the $1.50 level on Coinbase as the most immediate obstacle. A sell wall occurs when a large volume of limit sell orders accumulates around a particular price, creating substantial available supply for buyers to absorb.

In this case, CW said Coinbase whales are directly preventing XRP from rising by placing significant selling pressure at $1.50. The level also carries psychological significance because round-number prices often attract increased trading activity and can become important technical resistance points.

A large sell wall does not necessarily prove that whales intend to suppress the price. Large orders can reflect profit-taking, distribution, liquidity management, or attempts to accumulate at lower prices. Traders also need to distinguish genuine liquidity from potential spoofing, where large orders may be placed and later canceled without being executed.

Binance Adds Resistance Above $1.50

CW also pointed to Binance, where sell walls reportedly sit at $1.70, $1.75, and $1.80. These levels create additional resistance if XRP moves beyond the Coinbase wall.

Crypto Cholo, responding to CW’s post, suggested that the Coinbase wall may be intended to keep XRP lower while larger holders accumulate additional positions. He also said the Binance walls could represent sellers preparing to take profits if XRP breaks higher.

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

— TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025

That interpretation remains speculative, however, because order book data alone cannot establish the intentions of individual traders. Liquidity absorption will ultimately determine whether buyers can consume the available supply.

XRP Buyers Face a Test of Demand

If buyers absorb the $1.50 sell wall, attention would likely shift toward the higher resistance levels identified on Binance. A move through $1.70 could then focus on $1.75 and $1.80, making sustained buying volume important for any attempt to advance through the range.

Exchange spreads and arbitrage activity can also influence how liquidity develops across Coinbase and Binance. For now, CW’s analysis centers on the concentration of sell orders and their potential impact on XRP’s price movement.

The post Coinbase XRP Whales Are Still Blocking the Rise. Here’s What They Are Doing appeared first on Times Tabloid.

The CLARITY Act has faced delays in the Senate, but confidence in its passage remains high among key industry figures.

Crypto commentator BankXRP (@BankXRP) shared an interview in which Coinbase Vice Chairman Ryan VanGrack spoke on the bill’s prospects. VanGrack believes the obstacles are shrinking and is confident that the bill can pass.

VanGrack’s Assessment

VanGrack acknowledged the timing pressures surrounding the bill but suggested they have worked in its favor. He said the pressure has allowed parties to “sharpen their focus and prioritize what really matters.” Concerns that once dominated discussions have grown quieter as negotiators resolved key details.

He noted that law enforcement, retail investors, and asset managers have aligned around a common understanding that the CLARITY Act introduces a comprehensive regulatory framework where none currently exists. That recognition has softened opposition and narrowed the remaining points of contention.

VanGrack described the bill’s current position as being at “the half-yard mark.” He added that “what remains is far narrower than the list of issues that existed even just a few months ago.” He concluded that “we remain very, very close to passage.”

Coinbase Vice Chairman on the Clarity Act: "We remain very, very close to passage.

Obstacles are shrinking, Democrats and Republicans still working together to get it across the finish line. pic.twitter.com/59uNJtplzO

— 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗸XRP (@BankXRP) July 29, 2026

The Bill’s Current Status

The CLARITY Act currently holds 51 confirmed yes votes, with 60 needed to pass. That gap has led some observers to call the bill’s passage unlikely before the Senate’s August 8 recess. VanGrack’s comments push back on the pessimism. Democrats and Republicans continue to work together on the remaining issues, and he said all of the outstanding hurdles “appear surmountable.”

The bill’s path was complicated when Senate Majority Leader John Thune moved the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia Act ahead of the CLARITY Act in the floor schedule. That procedural shift pushed a vote before recess into uncertain territory. Still, supporters point to the first week of August as a viable window.

Institutional Support Remains Strong

The CLARITY Act carries significant backing from the financial industry. Senator Cynthia Lummis, one of the bill’s key supporters, has publicly listed BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, and SoFi as supporters. These institutions collectively manage trillions in assets and represent mainstream financial infrastructure, not the crypto industry alone.

That support strengthens the case for the remaining uncommitted senators. Only 12 of 45 Senate Democrats have openly opposed the bill. The other 33 have stayed silent. The bill needs just 9 of them to reach the threshold, and recent reports reveal that between 7 and 10 Democrats have signaled support.

VanGrack’s message to the market was one of confidence. As long as bipartisan cooperation holds, passage remains achievable.

The post CLARITY Act Update for XRP Holders: Coinbase Vice Chairman Drops Major Statement appeared first on Times Tabloid.

XRP exchange activity has shifted sharply even as the token continues to trade near $1.10.

CryptoQuant data shared by crypto commentator Xaif (@Xaif_Crypto) highlights a significant change in where net wallet flows are concentrated. The move comes as spot XRP ETFs continue to outperform several major digital assets.

Xaif noted that “Coinbase dominance just crashed from ~28% to 1.8%.” The commentator also said “Bittrex is soaking up almost 30% of all net flows,” before adding that “flows are moving before price does.”

something odd going on with XRP exchange flows

— Xaif Crypto (@Xaif_Crypto) July 10, 2026

Bittrex Records Its Highest Share in Months

The CryptoQuant chart tracks 7-day net wallet flow dominance across leading exchanges. It measures each exchange’s share of total net XRP wallet flows rather than price performance.

The latest reading shows Bittrex holding 29.7% of net flows, the highest level on the chart. Coinbase followed the opposite trend. After accounting for roughly 20% to 30% of net flows for much of the period, its share dropped sharply to 1.8%.

Binance Remains Stable as Other Exchanges Shift

Binance remained relatively consistent throughout the period, showing resilience after the notable drop in April. It also experienced some swings in June, but its latest share stands at 13.9%, with only modest changes compared with the large shifts recorded by Coinbase and Bittrex.

Several other exchanges, including Crypto.com, Gate.io and Bitfinex, accounted for much smaller portions of net wallet flows. Together, the chart shows a clear rotation in activity across trading venues while XRP’s price continues to hover near $1.10.

XRP ETF Demand Continues to Build

The exchange flow data follows another positive development for XRP. Recent digital asset fund data showed XRP ETFs avoided the outflows recorded by Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana ETFs during the latest reporting period.

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

— TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025

XRP also extended its streak of positive institutional demand, with XRP ETFs recording more than eight consecutive weeks of inflows. That trend contrasts with the recent withdrawals seen across several larger digital asset investment products.

Exchange Activity Remains Ahead of Price

The latest exchange flow data and continued ETF inflows measure different parts of the market, but both show sustained activity around XRP. ETF flows reflect investor allocations into regulated investment products, while exchange wallet flows track movements across trading platforms.

For now, XRP’s price has remained at $1.10 despite the sharp change in exchange flows dominance. Even so, the latest CryptoQuant data show Bittrex has become the leading venue for net XRP wallet flows while Coinbase’s share has fallen significantly.

The post Something Odd Is Going On With XRP Exchange Flows appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Coinbase users are reporting an uncomfortable pattern. Accounts are getting closed, and withdrawals are getting blocked. The complaints are piling up across social media, and the crypto community is paying attention.

One post gaining traction comes from Pumpius (@pumpius), who responded to a video shared by Austin Barnhill (@bh30317). Barnhill questioned Coinbase’s CEO directly, asking, “How are you out here closing accounts and not allowing withdrawals?”

Barnhill shared a video showing a closed account with a message that the user could withdraw their funds. However, many in the community reported failed withdrawals.

In his post, Pumpius pointed investors toward self-custody wallets as a solution, citing options like Xaman Wallet, Tangem, and Joey Wallet as alternatives to keeping funds on a centralized exchange.

COINBASE IS FREEZING CRYPTO WITHDRAWALS & CLOSING ACCOUNTS!

Move your crypto from a centralized exchange now!

Nobody can freeze your XRP from a self-custody wallet

Not your keys, not your cheese.

(eg., @XamanWallet @Tangem @JoeyWallet ) https://t.co/erfKxLcVfF

— Pumpius (@pumpius) May 9, 2026

Self-Custody as a Response

The appeal of self-custody becomes clearer when centralized platforms act unilaterally. Pumpius put it plainly, stating, “Nobody can freeze your XRP from a self-custody wallet.” Investors who hold their own private keys retain full control of their assets. Those who leave funds on an exchange take on the risk of platform-level decisions about access.

Community members who responded to Barnhill’s post confirmed they could not withdraw from their frozen accounts, contradicting what Coinbase’s own video appeared to suggest about fund accessibility.

Armstrong’s Questionable Record

The controversy over Coinbase’s account management sits alongside questions about Brian Armstrong’s leadership in the regulatory space. Armstrong pulled Coinbase’s support for the CLARITY Act, citing concerns that the proposed language could limit DeFi activity, restrict tokenized equity products, and block stablecoin issuers from offering yield-like rewards to users.

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

— TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025

He pulled that support hours before a scheduled January 14 committee markup, causing Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott to postpone the vote indefinitely.

Armstrong’s objection came at a time when stablecoins contributed to nearly 20% of Coinbase’s revenue. The move drew criticism from across the crypto industry, with some calling it self-serving at the expense of broader legislative progress.

A Pattern of Distrust

Former Ripple CTO David Schwartz also revealed years ago that Coinbase refused to list XRP and demanded millions from Ripple before it did so. The community backlash following the reports has extended to Armstrong personally. Users called him out, questioning his fitness to lead one of the world’s most prominent crypto exchanges.

The crypto sector has long operated on a principle of financial sovereignty. When centralized platforms restrict withdrawals without clear justification, they erode the trust that makes them viable in the first place. For anyone looking to hold XRP, one of the self-custody wallets Pumpius listed will be a good place to start.

The post Expert Warns XRP Holders: Do This Right to Your Coins On Coinbase appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Crypto markets often focus on price, but institutions focus on infrastructure. Large funds, treasury desks, and professional trading firms do not enter markets because of hype—they enter when the tools for efficient execution, risk control, and compliance are in place. That shift is becoming increasingly visible for XRP as major platforms continue to treat it less like a speculative altcoin and more like a serious financial instrument.

Crypto news platform RippleXity drew attention to that shift on X after Coinbase confirmed it would introduce Trade at Settlement, or TAS, for XRP futures. This mechanism already supports major institutional assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold, and crude oil. By extending the same tool to XRP, Coinbase is placing the asset in a more mature institutional trading framework.

What Trade at Settlement Means for XRP

Coinbase will activate TAS for XRP futures on May 1, 2026, covering both nano XRP contracts and full-sized futures contracts. Coinbase already describes its nano XRP futures as monthly cash-settled contracts representing 500 XRP, designed for risk management, margin trading, and price exposure on its regulated derivatives platform.

JUST IN: Coinbase Is Giving $XRP the Same Institutional Futures Tool It Gives Bitcoin and Gold.

— RippleXity (@RippleXity) April 25, 2026

TAS allows institutional traders to execute large block orders at the official settlement price rather than trading against live intraday market volatility. This creates a more predictable environment for funds managing high-volume positions.

Instead of worrying about slippage during volatile sessions, traders can lock in the final settlement value. For institutions, that precision improves portfolio management and reduces execution risk, especially when handling large allocations.

Why XRP Is Joining Bitcoin and Gold

RippleXity emphasized that TAS is not a retail feature—it is a standard institutional mechanism used across commodity and futures markets. Bitcoin and Ethereum already support this structure on Coinbase, while traditional assets like gold and crude oil use similar systems in broader financial markets.

Coinbase’s filing shows that both nano XRP and full-sized XRP futures qualify for this functionality, placing XRP alongside those established institutional products.

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

— TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025

This reflects growing confidence in XRP’s role as an institutional-grade asset rather than a purely speculative token. It also follows broader regulatory progress around XRP derivatives and increased attention from traditional finance participants.

A Bigger Step for XRP’s Market Position

Coinbase had already expanded XRP’s institutional presence through regulated futures listings. Adding TAS strengthens that foundation by completing a more professional execution pathway for large investors.

At the same time, Ripple continues building institutional infrastructure through Hidden Road, RLUSD settlement integration, and broader treasury solutions. Exchanges and enterprise platforms are now working from both sides—access and utility.

This matters because adoption rarely starts with retail excitement. It starts when institutions can move capital efficiently and safely.

By giving XRP the same settlement tool used for Bitcoin and gold, Coinbase is sending a strong signal: XRP is no longer being treated as an outsider to traditional finance. It is being prepared for a larger seat at the table.
