The document is SEC Rulemaking Petition File No. 4-867, submitted by Boyd Roberts of Big Picture Group in August 2025. Anyone can submit a petition to the SEC. It does not represent an SEC decision, ruling, or endorsement.

What the Document Says

The paper proposes a gold-oil-XRP architecture for global monetary settlement. Roberts describes gold as a sovereign balance-sheet anchor, oil as a real-economy flow layer, and XRP as a bridge liquidity asset. The paper outlines a scenario in which the US revalues its 261.5 million troy ounces of gold and acquires a 10-billion-XRP sovereign inventory.

The author is explicit about the document’s status. He writes that it “does not claim that the United States, Ripple, any central bank or any foreign government has adopted the proposed architecture.” He also concludes that “the selection of XRP remains unproven.”

The 2026 edition revises an earlier paper. Roberts retired a timing model that assigned near-certain probability to a reset occurring in August-September 2025. That prediction failed. This edition repositions the thesis as scenario analysis rather than a forecast.

The Regulatory Picture That Matters

What is confirmed is the direction regulators are moving. SEC Chair Paul Atkins said publicly that the agency will act with or without legislation to provide certainty for investors and entrepreneurs in the digital asset space. The Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act, with the bill falling short of the 60 votes required for cloture. Atkins responded immediately and committed to using the SEC’s existing statutory authority

The CFTC is moving in parallel. Chair Michael Selig directed staff to explore rules creating a dedicated market structure for crypto assets. He proposed allowing registered and non-registered crypto exchanges to receive designation as a type of Designated Contract Market. Both agencies are now aligned on the need for regulatory action independent of Congress.

This regulatory momentum matters for XRP and the market as a whole. Clear frameworks reduce legal uncertainty for institutions. They open pathways for custody, brokerage, and capital market integration.

Keeping It in Context

The Boyd Roberts petition is one individual’s submission to the SEC. It sits in a public docket alongside thousands of others. The regulatory clarity now taking shape through the SEC and CFTC carries far more weight for XRP’s future than any speculative scenario document circulating online.

Levi also compared the proposal with the stimulus payments issued during the COVID-19 period. He noted that XRP surged massively during that period, although he acknowledged that stimulus payments were not the only factor behind the move.

Levi Links $5,000 Checks to Market Liquidity

In the video attached to his tweet, Levi reacted to Trump’s claim that he does not need Congress to approve the proposed $5,000 dividend checks.

“Trump says he does not need Congress to approve his proposed $5,000 dividend checks,” Levi said.

He explained that Trump’s proposal could involve $5,000 payments for every American. Levi estimated that the program could potentially put more than $1.2 trillion into the economy.

“If this actually happens, it could be huge for the markets,” he said.

Levi focused on the potential liquidity effect of such a large injection of money. He also compared the proposal with the COVID-era stimulus program, when Americans received direct payments while interest rates remained near zero.

XRP’s 2020-2021 Rally

Levi then pointed to XRP’s performance during the COVID stimulus payments.

He noted that XRP traded at around $0.17 in March 2020. By April 2021, the cryptocurrency had reached roughly $1.95. Levi described the move as more than 1,000% within a relatively short period.

Levi did not attribute the entire rally to stimulus payments. He acknowledged that other factors contributed to XRP’s rise.

“Stimulus wasn’t the only reason XRP pumped, but it happened during a massive liquidity-driven crypto bull market,” he said.

His comparison suggests that another large injection of capital could create conditions that prompt investors to monitor crypto assets closely.

Bitcoin and XRP Could Draw Investor Focus

Levi said that if more than $1 trillion enters the economy, investors could closely monitor Bitcoin, XRP and the wider cryptocurrency market.

“The big question is, if these $5,000 checks actually happen, where will that money flow?” Levi said.

His comments do not establish that the proposed payments would flow into cryptocurrencies. Instead, he presented the potential liquidity injection as a factor that could influence investor behavior across markets.

The proposal has also drawn skepticism in the comments under Levi’s tweet. Nasdaq Future Trader said, “No one is getting $5000, even if Republicans win! It’s an art of buying votes!”

Macro Bombastic also questioned the claim, saying, “tbh this whole thing smells like a classic shill.”

The post Expert Says Trump’s $5,000 Dividend Could Be Huge for XRP. Here’s why appeared first on Times Tabloid.

The Senate cloture vote is scheduled for September 15. It requires 60 votes to pass. Senator Lummis posted the announcement on X. “After a year of intense daily bipartisan negotiations, this bill is ready,” she wrote.

Ethics Provisions Take Center Stage

According to the press release, the final text incorporates 126 substantive changes made at the request of Democrats. The most significant addition is new ethics language reflecting all of the Tillis-Gallego ethics proposal. It gives state attorneys general a meaningful role in enforcement.

President Trump voluntarily agreed to ethics restrictions applying to every federally elected official, judge, and their spouses. Lummis described these as among the toughest ethics restrictions in U.S. history.

The press release also notes the bill grants the Secretary of the Treasury new authority to prevent deposit flight tied to payment stablecoins, protecting community banks, farmers, and small businesses. Additional provisions shield developers from money transmission registration requirements and establish a civil safe harbor.

— Senator Cynthia Lummis (@SenLummis) September 14, 2026

Support Has Built Across Industries

The press release also confirms that the CLARITY Act has attracted backing from major financial institutions including BlackRock, Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, Goldman Sachs, Charles Schwab, and SoFi. Law enforcement organizations have also moved behind the bill.

The National Sheriffs Association and the Majority County Sheriffs Association both recently dropped their opposition, citing the tools the legislation gives law enforcement to fight crime.

Tuesday’s Vote and the Stakes

Republicans hold 53 Senate seats. At least seven Democrats must vote yes for cloture to succeed. Congressional reporter Steven Dennis has said 7 to 10 Democrats are willing to support the legislation. Lummis argued that voting no would block ethics reforms, ceding digital asset leadership to foreign competitors, and leaving Americans without market protections.

Lummis noted, “Democrats got what they wanted; now they need to take yes for an answer.” Chairman Scott reinforced that message. “After over a year of bipartisan negotiations and over 100 changes requested by Democrats, it is time for the Senate to move this strong, bipartisan bill forward,” he said.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer convened a Democratic caucus meeting on Sunday evening to align the party ahead of the vote. If cloture passes, the Senate moves to formal debate. Amendments and a final passage vote follow. Lummis has previously warned that a failed Tuesday vote could delay the next opportunity until 2030.

A Summit With Institutional Weight

The August 19 summit took place at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building and marked the CFTC’s Innovation Advisory Committee meeting. Trump sat at the center. Garlinghouse stood immediately to his right. Also in the room were SEC Chair Paul Atkins, CFTC Chair Michael Selig, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.

Representatives from Nasdaq, NYSE, CME, and DTCC were also present. Notably, Trump personally introduced and thanked Garlinghouse during the summit.

How the Community Responded

The photo generated significant discussion. Several community members focused on the symbolism of Garlinghouse’s position in the image. Multiple people described him as Trump’s right-hand man, referencing both his physical placement and the perceived closeness of the relationship.

One observer noted that standing to the president’s right, when the president is the host, is the place of highest honor for a guest, citing formal U.S. diplomatic and social protocol.

One user offered a more measured take. He acknowledged that Garlinghouse’s presence beside Trump is significant, but cautioned against the volume of assumptions circulating on social media. He also noted that the CLARITY Act remains the most critical development to watch, and that traps remain ahead.

One analyst broke down how White House photo placement works. He explained that proximity to a president in an official photo is a deliberate staff and photographer decision, not personal preference. The sector a CEO represents often determines where they stand.

A Relationship Built Over Time

This was not Garlinghouse’s first visit to the White House under the Trump administration. He attended a pre-inauguration dinner with Trump in early 2025. He was at the inaugural White House Digital Assets Summit.

The August summit extended that pattern. Garlinghouse has been at almost every major White House crypto engagement under this administration, and his physical proximity to Trump in the summit photo adds a visible dimension to that track record.

With Ripple holding a consistent seat at the table throughout this administration, the community believes the company is positioned to influence the regulatory environment that governs XRP’s future.

Crypto influencer John Squire posted a comparison on X. “Trump didn’t thank the CEO of Ethereum. Bitcoin doesn’t even have a CEO,” Squire wrote, while Trump turned to Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and said, “Thank you very much, Brad.”

The meeting took place in the Roosevelt Room and brought together major names in digital assets. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev, Kraken co-CEO Arjun Sethi, Gemini’s Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, and Intercontinental Exchange chairman and CEO Jeff Sprecher all attended. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins and CFTC Chairman Michael Selig, the top officials at the two agencies that oversee digital-asset regulation, were also present.

A Push for the CLARITY Act

The gathering carried weight beyond the roll call. Trump used the meeting to press Congress on the CLARITY Act, legislation that would divide oversight of digital assets between the SEC and CFTC and replace agency interpretation with statutory definitions.

The bill passed the House in 2025 and remains stalled in the Senate, with a vote expected in mid-September.

Trump tied regulatory certainty to U.S. competitiveness, saying failing to lead in crypto could cost America its standing tied to the world’s reserve currency.

The timing mattered too. The meeting came one day after the SEC issued new guidelines intended to simplify token issuance and capital raising for crypto companies, a shift Ripple and other firms had lobbied for over several years.

XRP Moves on the News

XRP responded to the week’s developments. The token rose close to 10% between August 18 and August 19, trading near $1.09, with spot XRP ETFs recording $5.81 million in inflows on August 18, the strongest single day since July 31.

Garlinghouse addressed the meeting afterward on X, noting that roughly 67 million Americans, nearly one in four, now hold crypto. He credited the Trump administration’s posture toward the industry and stated that division within crypto over competing priorities works against the industry’s shared interest in regulatory clarity.

Structure, Not Snub

Squire’s post did not claim Trump outright snubbed Bitcoin and Ethereum. It highlighted a structural fact: Bitcoin and Ethereum operate without a chief executive, so there was no equivalent figure to single out by name. Ripple’s centralized leadership model gave Garlinghouse a visible moment other projects could not replicate.

Whether that moment reflects genuine favoritism toward XRP or simply the mechanics of who stood in the room remains open to interpretation.

The post XRP Army Still Reacting to These Donald Trump’s Words to Ripple CEO appeared first on Times Tabloid.

His post captured the mood of a summit that brought together the President, the SEC Chair, the CFTC Chair, and the leaders of America’s biggest crypto and financial institutions. Garlinghouse was among them, representing Ripple and XRP at the highest level of U.S. policy discussion.

The President’s Support for Crypto

Garlinghouse did not hold back in crediting Trump’s role in reaching this moment. “This President’s incredible commitment to innovation and leadership around digital assets in the U.S. has been profound,” he wrote. He expressed confidence, writing, “The future is bright.”

The sentiment reflected something tangible. This was not a courtesy visit. Ripple now sits on the CFTC’s newly formed Innovation Advisory Committee alongside Coinbase, Chainlink, Gemini, and others. The industry is embedded in the regulatory process itself.

Great to be back at the White House today alongside @realDonaldTrump, @SECPaulSAtkins, @ChairmanSelig and leaders across the crypto industry.

Inside the Summit

The meeting took place at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. President Trump called on Congress to pass the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, describing it as legislation that will “keep us ahead of China, keep us ahead of everyone else.” Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong echoed that urgency, calling the bill “a true bipartisan compromise.”

SEC Chair Paul Atkins announced a new crypto fundraising proposal, including a $75 million annual exemption for digital asset raises. The Treasury published its stablecoin framework the day prior. The administration moved on multiple fronts simultaneously.

One community member noted that exactly 589 days passed between Garlinghouse’s private January 2025 dinner with Trump and his return to the White House on August 19. In the XRP community, 589 is a long-standing symbolic XRP price target. The timing registered with many who follow the asset closely.

The Road Ahead

The CLARITY Act faces a Senate procedural vote on September 15. It needs 60 votes to advance. Congress returns from recess on September 14, leaving almost no margin for delay. Garlinghouse’s presence and the language he used afterward signal that this moment is a foundation. The regulatory architecture is also taking shape.

The administration is not waiting. The SEC and CFTC are both advancing crypto policy through agency action. The CFTC’s Innovation Advisory Committee holds its first public meeting today covering crypto regulation, prediction markets, and artificial intelligence.

Trump Pushes Congress on Crypto Legislation

Trump began his remarks by praising the current state of the US economy before turning his focus to cryptocurrency regulation. He said the country had moved from being in poor condition two years ago to becoming “the hottest country anywhere in the world.”

The president then directly addressed the Clarity Act, urging Congress to pass what he described as a fair version of the legislation.

“Now we need Congress to take the next step by passing the Clarity Act, a fair version of the Clarity Act,” Trump said.

He described the legislation as “landmark” legislation and called it a “very, very powerful structure” for the industry. Trump also connected the bill to competition with China, saying its passage would help the United States maintain its position in financial and technological innovation.

Clarity Act Faces Senate Test

The Clarity Act seeks to establish clearer federal rules for digital assets and define the responsibilities of the Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The House passed its version in 2025, while the Senate Banking Committee advanced its version in May 2026.

However, the legislation still needs approval from the full Senate. Republicans require Democrats’ support to reach the 60-vote threshold needed to advance major legislation. The Senate entered its August recess without completing that process, leaving September as an important period for the bill.

A procedural vote is currently scheduled for September 15. If lawmakers advance the measure, the Senate would then move toward formal consideration before the legislation could potentially return to the House and eventually reach Trump’s desk.

Garlinghouse Attends White House Meeting

Garlinghouse’s presence placed Ripple among the companies represented at the White House gathering. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev and Kraken co-CEO Arjun Sethi also attended. Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman and Intercontinental Exchange CEO Jeff Sprecher were among the other executives present.

September Could Become Crucial

The bill still faces disagreements over provisions involving cryptocurrency holdings and potential profits by government officials, including the president, vice president and members of Congress.

For the crypto industry, Trump’s latest comments add presidential support to a legislative process that remains unfinished. If the Senate advances the bill in September, lawmakers could move closer to establishing federal rules for digital assets. If the process stalls, consideration could be pushed beyond the November midterm elections.

How the Community Responded

Several community members weighed in on the moment. One commenter suggested that the CEO was hiding in the room, as he did not step forward when called upon. She found this move funny. Another member celebrated the occurrence, expressing pride in seeing Garlinghouse present at this level of government engagement.

Another commenter thanked President Trump, and another suggested that XRP would go to the moon. However, not everyone was positive. One observer remarked that Garlinghouse did not step forward to speak when given the opportunity. He viewed this as a concern about what the summit would actually deliver for XRP holders.

The Summit and its Stakes for XRP

The presidential introduction is more than a symbolic gesture. Garlinghouse sits in the room alongside SEC Chair Paul Atkins, CFTC Chair Michael Selig, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. Traditional finance giants including Nasdaq, NYSE, CME, and DTCC also have representatives present.

The summit serves as the kickoff for the CFTC’s newly formed Innovation Advisory Committee, a 35-member panel that includes Ripple, Coinbase, a16z, Chainlink, and Kalshi. The committee holds its first public session tomorrow, August 20, from 1 to 4 PM ET, with an agenda centered on crypto’s regulatory evolution.

The CLARITY Act looms in the background. The bill stalled ahead of the August recess over disputes around stablecoin yield rules, congressional ethics provisions, and anti-money-laundering requirements. A procedural Senate vote is now scheduled for September 15, and passage requires 60 votes.

Looking Ahead

The SEC proposed new crypto fundraising rules on August 18, including a $75 million annual exemption. It has worked with the CFTC to advance crypto regulation. With both agency chiefs in the room today, the administration signals it can advance crypto policy through agency action, with or without congressional movement.

Garlinghouse has attended every major White House crypto engagement under this administration, from the pre-inauguration dinner in 2025 to the signing of the GENIUS Act. Today’s introduction by the president adds another chapter to that record. The outcome of this summit will shape digital asset policy through the end of 2026.

The CFTC Innovation Advisory Committee Launches

The timing of the summit is crucial. The CFTC’s Innovation Advisory Committee holds its inaugural meeting in connection with the summit. The committee represents a formal government structure dedicated to digital asset innovation. Its launch signals that crypto regulation is moving from debate into action.

The presence of CFTC Chair Mike Selig and SEC Chair Paul Atkins shows both agencies are engaging the industry together.

The Legislative Backdrop

The CLARITY Act remains the central piece of legislation the industry is watching. The bill aims to establish a clear regulatory structure for digital assets and define the division of authority between the SEC and the CFTC. Congress returns from recess in September, with a Senate vote expected on September 15.

Industry leaders now have a direct channel to the administration ahead of that vote. Ripple’s presence at the summit positions the company as a key voice in shaping the final form of crypto legislation in the U.S.

What Comes Next?

Ripple has maintained consistent access to the White House throughout the Trump administration. Garlinghouse met with Trump before his inauguration and attended the inaugural White House Digital Assets Summit in 2025. Ripple was also present during the signing of the GENIUS Act.

Wednesday’s summit continues that pattern of engagement. XRP holders are watching closely, as Ripple’s seat at the table is directly relevant to the regulatory environment that governs XRP’s future.

The outcome of Wednesday’s meeting could shape digital asset policy through the end of 2026 and beyond. The CLARITY Act’s passage odds have faced uncertainty, but direct engagement between industry leaders and the President introduces a new variable.

A High-Stakes Meeting

President Donald Trump is expected to attend the meeting, though reporting notes his final attendance remains fluid. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins and CFTC Chairman Michael Selig are also expected to be present. The combination of crypto executives and top regulatory officials in one room signals the weight the administration places on digital asset policy at this moment.

The meeting arrives at a critical time. The CLARITY Act remains stalled in the Senate. Lawmakers are expected to return from recess in September and take up the legislation then. The White House gathering gives industry leaders a direct line to the administration before that vote approaches.

Ripple and the Trump Administration

Ripple’s presence at the White House is not a surprise to those who follow the company’s political engagement. In early 2025, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty attended a private dinner with President Trump. That meeting was widely noted as a signal of warming relations between the administration and the XRP ecosystem.

Since then, Ripple has remained active in Washington. The company has consistently pushed for clear regulatory guidelines for digital assets, and its legal history with the SEC has made it one of the most visible companies in the fight for crypto clarity.

What Could Be on the Agenda?

The formal agenda has not been released. Given the participants, several topics are likely to surface. The CLARITY Act and the division of oversight between the SEC and CFTC are expected to be central. Ripple’s ongoing interest in cross-border payments and tokenization could also come up, particularly as the administration has shown appetite for financial innovation.

The meeting is notable for XRP holders, as Ripple sitting at the table with the President, the SEC Chair, and the CFTC Chair is a meaningful moment. The outcome of Wednesday’s meeting could influence the regulatory direction of the entire digital asset industry heading into the final months of 2026.
