The October 15 press release confirmed the integration. Cross River positioned the move as a step toward accelerating settlement speed for its business clients through the XRP Ledger’s payment rails.

SMQKE Highlights the Development

Crypto researcher SMQKE brought the announcement to wider attention on X, calling Cross River “one of FedNow’s highest volume banks” and noting it is “plugging XRP directly into its core banking infrastructure.” SMQKE linked Cross River’s FedNow participation to the XRPL integration, presenting the combination as a notable development for the XRP ecosystem.

The post generated significant engagement, with readers commenting on exactly what the integration means.

Community Pushes Back on the Details

Not everyone read the announcement the same way. User @ovi_will_bite challenged SMQKE’s characterization directly in the replies. “Cross River is integrating RLUSD on XRPL, NOT XRP for settlement,” they wrote. “Using FedNow and XRPL doesn’t mean FedNow uses XRP.”

@Chiara_831 added a measured take: “This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with XRP for the time being.”

The distinction matters. RLUSD is Ripple’s dollar-denominated stablecoin. It runs on the XRP Ledger but is a separate asset from XRP. The press release title confirms the integration involves RLUSD, not XRP as a bridge or settlement currency.

What the Integration Actually Confirms

Cross River’s decision to build on the XRP Ledger is still a meaningful development for the ecosystem. The bank chose the XRPL as the infrastructure layer for its stablecoin-based payment expansion. That gives the ledger a notable institutional presence, regardless of whether XRP itself functions as a settlement asset in this specific use case.

Cross River serves a large volume of business payment flows through FedNow. Adding RLUSD on XRPL to its core banking stack puts the ledger inside a high-traffic financial institution’s operational infrastructure. The practical effects of that positioning will become clearer as the integration develops.

Ripple’s Stablecoin Gains Institutional Ground

RLUSD launched in late 2024 and has steadily built institutional adoption. Cross River’s integration represents one of the more prominent banking partnerships for the stablecoin to date and reinforces Ripple’s strategy of expanding the XRP Ledger’s role in regulated financial infrastructure.

The post One of FedNow’s Highest Volume Banks Is Integrating With XRP appeared first on Times Tabloid.

That kind of confidence from Ripple’s people carries weight, and it arrives at a significant moment for the entire digital asset industry.

XRP Already Has its Answer

XRP entered this regulatory moment from a position of strength. A landmark lawsuit already determined that XRP is not a security. That ruling gave Ripple and XRP holders legal clarity that most of the crypto industry is still waiting for.

Congress tried to provide that clarity, but the CLARITY Act failed in the Senate. It failed a Senate cloture vote 49-50 on September 15. The bill needed 60 votes. It fell 11 short, blocked by Democratic opposition and four Republican defections. The failure left a gap, but the SEC and CFTC moved to fill it immediately.

I got to speak to several people from @ripple yesterday. One thing I kept hearing over and over. Only blue skies ahead from a regulatory perspective for XRP. The fight is over. We won. Lock In!

— Digital Asset Investor (@digitalassetbuy) October 15, 2026

Regulators Acted Fast

Two days after the vote, the SEC issued its Innovation Exemption. It gave tokenized securities venues a five-year conditional license to operate without registering as exchanges. The same day, the CFTC issued no-action relief for passive software providers, allowing developers to connect users to regulated derivatives markets without broker registration requirements.

The SEC also published updated FAQs on September 25 clarifying how federal securities law applies to crypto assets. Staff confirmed that staking receipt tokens for underlying digital commodities qualify as digital tools rather than securities.

More Regulatory Moves

On October 5, the CFTC launched a formal rulemaking process with an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. It is now building purpose-fit rules for retail leveraged crypto transactions and considering a new category of regulated exchange specifically for digital assets.

The SEC’s proposed Regulation Crypto Assets, published in August, creates exemptions from registration requirements for certain crypto fundraising with a $75M offering ceiling. The comment period closed October 20.

The Community Responds

Reactions in the comments mixed skepticism with strong conviction. One commenter questioned how much the wins actually move the price, stating that 1,000 more small switches need to be flipped for XRP to hit $3. Another acknowledged the fatigue of hearing similar optimism for years but made clear he is not selling.

One noted he thought the regulatory clarity was already settled and redirected focus to price performance. Another commenter expressed disappointment that the price has not reflected the progress she anticipated since 2017, as she expected XRP would have hit $10 by now.

The post XRP Pundit: I Spoke to Several People At Ripple, Here’s One Thing I Kept Hearing appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Crypto researcher SMQKE shared the historical document, pointing to language that presents XRP as more than a digital asset used for transactions. The excerpt also outlines XRP’s intended role in moving value between currency gateways on the network.

The document provides historical context for how Ripple presented XRP and its potential utility during the early development of the XRP Ledger. However, SMQKE also draws a stronger conclusion from the comparison, suggesting that XRP’s current market price does not reflect its potential value and that its utility could eventually support a higher valuation.

What the 2013 Ripple Brochure Says About XRP

The attached image shows a section of a 2013 Ripple brochure titled “XRP as a Vehicle Currency.” The highlighted passage states: “XRP in Ripple is like gold in your hand.” It describes XRP as an asset without a counterparty that serves as a bridge currency between gateways.

The brochure also compares XRP’s role to that of the US dollar in foreign exchange markets, where a common currency can facilitate transactions between parties using different currencies. Its accompanying diagram illustrates how XRP could transfer value between a US dollar gateway and a euro gateway.

This explanation presents XRP as an asset that could help connect otherwise separate currency systems. Rather than requiring a direct exchange between two currencies, a payment could use XRP as an intermediary.

The other highlighted passage reinforces this intended function by describing XRP as an asset designed to provide liquidity on the XRP Ledger. Together, the excerpts show how the brochure explained XRP’s proposed role in the network.

Why SMQKE Focuses on the Gold Comparison

SMQKE argues that the comparison deserves consideration because the wording appeared in an official Ripple publication. The researcher interprets the description as evidence that Ripple recognized XRP’s distinct characteristics from the network’s early development.

SMQKE’s tweet draws a comparison between XRP and gold, noting that neither asset represents another party’s debt. However, the two serve different purposes. Gold has long served as a physical commodity and store of value, while XRP operates on the XRP Ledger and can facilitate transfers between different currencies. This gives XRP a practical role in digital payments and liquidity management that gold cannot offer in the same way.

SMQKE also claims that Ripple did not repeat the comparison in later materials. However, the attached excerpt alone does not establish whether Ripple used similar language elsewhere.

Does the Comparison Mean XRP Is Undervalued?

SMQKE believes the market may be underestimating XRP’s potential, particularly if its use in payments and cross-currency transfers continues to grow. Greater adoption could increase demand for the asset and influence its long-term price.

However, the 2013 brochure does not prove that XRP is undervalued or establish how high its price could rise. Its future performance will depend on actual network usage, demand for liquidity, competition, regulatory developments, and overall market conditions.

The post Official Ripple Brochure Confirms XRP Is Like “Gold” On the Ripple Network appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Ripple and Cross River Bank are working together to “integrate RLUSD on the XRP Ledger into its core banking platform, providing 24/7 settlement within payment networks and greater flexibility to settle intraday.” Intriguingly, X Money has chosen Cross River Bank as its banking infrastructure provider. SMQKE argues these links create a pathway for XRP into X Money.

The New Partnership

Cross River Bank’s announcement detailed the integration. It expands the bank’s on-chain capabilities, letting fintechs access RLUSD payments through a single API connection for real-time settlement and cross-border transactions.

Markus Infanger, SVP of RippleX, stated, “Stablecoins won’t transform payments through parallel financial systems. They’ll do it by becoming part of the banking infrastructure businesses already use.” He said Cross River Bank is at the forefront of that push by bringing RLUSD and the XRP Ledger’s low-cost settlement into its regulated banking platform.

The X Money Angle

Cross River’s role in X Money is substantial. The bank provides peer-to-peer payment infrastructure, FDIC-insured interest-bearing accounts, and Visa debit card services. X Money entered limited beta in May 2025. It expanded to external testing in March 2026, and reports an early access version in June.

XRP supporters have long pressed Elon Musk to integrate XRP into X Money. No official announcement has confirmed that. What SMQKE identifies is the infrastructure architecture that could make it possible without requiring a new agreement. This new partnership deepens the potential for integration. The rails to connect XRP and Musk’s X Money platform are now clearer.

Documentation as a Strategy

SMQKE’s post is notable not just for the prediction but for the method. He argues that reading institutional publications carefully and tracking partnership documentation puts informed observers ahead of official announcements. “The crowd will always lag behind as they are waiting for official confirmations,” he wrote.

That approach produced a four-month lead on the Cross River and X Money partnership. Whether the XRP prediction follows the same pattern remains to be seen.

Where Things Stand

No official announcement confirms XRP integration into X Money. What exists is a documented chain of institutional relationships, and a direct partnership linking XRP and Cross River Bank. SMQKE calls it “the exact path XRP will take to connect with X Money.” The documentation supports the infrastructure argument. The community now awaits the confirmation.

The post This Fresh Partnership Will Connect XRP to Elon Musk’s X Money appeared first on Times Tabloid.

“Evernorth represents a new milestone for the XRP ecosystem,” Ripple wrote, adding that the company is “putting XRP to work via institutional strategies.” Ripple also confirmed its ongoing relationship, stating it is “proud to partner with Evernorth on this next chapter.”

Ripple posted this shortly after the 4:00 PM closing bell ceremony on October 14. It featured images showing Ripple executives including CEO Brad Garlinghouse, CLO Stuart Alderoty, and CTO Emeritus David Schwartz.

Congratulations to our friends at @evernorthxrp on their Nasdaq debut!

Evernorth represents a new milestone for the XRP ecosystem, putting XRP to work via institutional strategies, and expanding with the network as new capabilities are introduced.

Proud to partner with… pic.twitter.com/XZ1iOqKFJm

— Ripple (@Ripple) October 14, 2026

Evernorth’s Plan for XRP

Evernorth Holdings is a publicly traded digital asset treasury company. Its sole focus is XRP. It completed a merger with Armada Acquisition Corp. II and now trades on Nasdaq under the ticker XRPN. At closing, the company held approximately 473 million XRP.

It raised over $1 billion in total through the transaction and related private placements, with around $300 million in gross cash proceeds. Investors in Evernorth include Ripple, SBI Group, Pantera Capital, Kraken, and GSR. Asheesh Birla is the company’s founder and CEO.

Evernorth gives investors regulated, transparent exposure to XRP through a publicly listed structure. It operates with full reporting, governance, and disclosure standards expected of a Nasdaq-listed company.

The Importance of Evernorth

Evernorth is the largest pure-play XRP treasury company on a public exchange. Institutional investors who want XRP exposure now have a regulated vehicle to access it through traditional markets. They do not need to hold the token directly or navigate crypto exchanges.

This structure brings XRP into a familiar investment environment. It increases visibility and accessibility for a class of investors who previously had limited options for gaining exposure to the asset.

Ripple’s Role

Ripple’s partnership with Evernorth extends its reach beyond payments infrastructure. Evernorth plans to actively manage its XRP treasury and support institutional services built on the XRP network. As Ripple noted, the company will expand “with the network as new capabilities are introduced.”

That language signals that Evernorth’s role is not static. As the XRP Ledger develops, Evernorth is positioned to grow alongside it.

What Could Come Next?

Evernorth’s Nasdaq listing sets a precedent. The closing bell ceremony at Times Square on October 14 was the visible moment. It demonstrates that a company built entirely around XRP can meet US public market standards and attract significant institutional capital. Other treasury structures or XRP-focused entities could follow the same path.

The post Ripple Spotlights What Evernorth Brings to XRP appeared first on Times Tabloid.

The integration allows developers to build payment experiences using XRP, RLUSD, and other digital assets directly into their products, without requiring users to manage their own private keys.

The XRP Ledger has grown to more than 8 million funded accounts and over $1 trillion in value moved. That scale gives the partnership a proven foundation to build on.

Broadening access to XRPL, from everyday payments to agentic commerce.

We’re partnering with @privy_io, a Stripe company, to bring embedded wallets to the XRP Ledger. Developers will be able to build payment experiences with XRP, RLUSD and other digital assets on XRPL directly… https://t.co/eJXsm5bHIZ pic.twitter.com/rIu4HiN6tc

— Ripple (@Ripple) October 13, 2026

What Developers Get

The partnership expands what developers can build on XRPL. Through Privy, they can create and manage XRPL wallets programmatically, sign transactions, and build applications using XRP and RLUSD. Developers also gain the ability to enable x402 payments for agentic commerce, while still giving users ownership and portability through private key and seed phrase export.

Markus Infanger, SVP of RippleX at Ripple, described it as giving developers “a strong foundation to build financial products that can scale.” Henri Stern, Cofounder and CEO of Privy, said the company is “excited to make Privy wallets available to developers building on XRPL, from global payments to agentic commerce.”

Agentic Commerce Takes Center Stage

The agentic angle is significant. The integration enables programmable, server-side wallets. This lets AI agents hold funds and transact autonomously, including through x402 payments. Ripple confirmed that XRPL has already processed 13 million agent payments, which now account for roughly 25% of network activity.

Ripple’s own data shows agentic transactions grew from zero to 13 million in just a few months, a pace that few anticipated at the start of the year.

At XRP Seoul 2026 on October 3, Ripple President Monica Long projected that AI agent transactions on XRPL could climb from 10 million to 100 million. That target now looks achievable given the current trajectory.

Why Privy

Privy is not a niche player. As a Stripe company, it operates wallet infrastructure already trusted by major fintech applications. Bringing that infrastructure natively to XRPL removes one of the main friction points for developers who want to build on the ledger but lack the resources to build wallet management from scratch.

For payments companies and fintechs specifically, embedded wallets make stablecoin payments possible without placing the burden of key management on end users. That is a meaningful shift for consumer-facing applications built on XRPL.

The XRP Ledger has become a serious destination for AI-powered commerce. Privy has confirmed it will continue deepening the integration over time.

The post Ripple Seals Fresh Partnership for XRP Expansion appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Crypto commentator X Finance Bull (@Xfinancebull) shared the news with his followers on X. Standard Chartered confirmed it now supports institutional custody of Ripple USD (RLUSD) on the XRP Ledger (XRPL).

The service is live and available through the bank’s DIFC Branch, regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority.

Custody, Collateral and Capital Efficiency

Eligible clients now have access to Standard Chartered’s digital asset custody infrastructure for RLUSD. The bank is also working with Ripple and LMAX Group to make RLUSD eligible collateral across agreed LMAX Group products and solutions covering trading and collateral management.

The structure allows clients to mirror collateral value to LMAX Group without transferring the underlying RLUSD directly to the trading venue. This gives institutions greater flexibility in how they hold and deploy digital assets, reduces transfer-related operational risk, and improves capital efficiency.

BREAKING Standard Chartered’s institutional custody support for Ripple’s $RLUSD on the $XRP Ledger is now LIVE.

XRP Stands to Gain

RLUSD runs on the XRP Ledger. Every institutional use case built around RLUSD strengthens the infrastructure that XRP depends on. As banks and trading venues adopt RLUSD for collateral and settlement, the XRPL becomes a more active part of global financial workflows.

Waqar Chaudry, Global Head of Digital Assets at Standard Chartered, said the goal is to help clients “incorporate digital assets more confidently into their broader financial activities.” Putting a regulated stablecoin inside a trusted custody environment is precisely what institutional participants need before committing capital.

LMAX and Ripple Add Institutional Depth

Luke Dorney, Head of Custody and Digital Assets at LMAX Group, confirmed the group adopted Standard Chartered’s collateral mirroring model to give clients “greater flexibility in how they hold and deploy RLUSD across our cross-asset marketplace.” LMAX serves funds, banks, asset managers, and buy-side institutions across more than 100 countries.

Jack McDonald, SVP of Stablecoins at Ripple, said RLUSD “was built for exactly this kind of institutional use case.” Combining RLUSD on the XRP Ledger with Standard Chartered’s custody capabilities and LMAX’s trading infrastructure creates a practical path for institutions to put stablecoins to work across global markets.

Standard Chartered’s Role Is Hard to Ignore

Standard Chartered’s involvement carries real significance because of its scale and regulatory standing. Its custody decision on RLUSD places the asset inside the same infrastructure institutions already trust for traditional finance.

X Finance Bull pointed to the collateral integration as a development worth watching for XRP specifically. The agreed future capabilities remain subject to final documentation, testing, and regulatory readiness, with further details expected as implementation progresses.

The post Standard Chartered Makes Major Launch for RLUSD on XRP Ledger appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Crypto analyst Steph Is Crypto brought the video back into focus, noting in his tweet that Ripple was already working on interoperability between different digital currencies more than a decade ago.

Chris Larsen Demonstrated Bitcoin Payments Through Ripple

In the video, Larsen first shows that his Ripple wallet contains multiple currencies, including Bitcoin. He then explains that Ripple supports multiple currencies and can interoperate with Bitcoin.

Larsen sent a small Bitcoin payment to another user. He selects Bitcoin as the currency and allows the system to calculate the available payment paths.

The demonstration then shows the transaction moving through the network’s consensus process. After consensus is reached, Larsen explains that the recipient can receive Bitcoin without waiting for the confirmation period associated with a conventional Bitcoin transaction.

“What I just did, basically, is I sent Bitcoin off the Bitcoin blockchain,” Larsen says in the video. He then contrasts the process with the Bitcoin confirmation period at the time, saying the payment was completed instantly rather than requiring the user to wait for a block.

Ripple’s Early Interoperability Work

Steph Is Crypto used the demonstration to argue that Ripple was working on interoperability more than 13 years ago.

The analyst specifically referenced Ripple’s pathfinding technology, which helped determine how payments could move between different currencies. The demonstration therefore focused not simply on sending XRP, but on using a multi-currency network to facilitate a payment denominated in Bitcoin.

The video also provides an early example of the type of payment functionality that Ripple was developing around its network. Larsen’s demonstration showed a user selecting Bitcoin while the system handled the underlying payment path.

Comment Raises Questions About the 2013 Demonstration

The post also received a response from donSilverHaze, who questioned how to interpret the demonstration today.

The commenter acknowledged that the 2013 demonstration showed how XRP Ledger pathfinding could be used to facilitate Bitcoin payments without relying on the same confirmation process. However, donSilverHaze cautioned against using the demonstration as evidence that Ripple had completely solved Bitcoin’s transaction-speed limitations at the time.

The comment noted that Bitcoin’s network conditions in 2013 differed from those seen during later periods of heavier usage. It also questioned whether the demonstration should be presented as proof that Ripple had always provided a complete solution to slow Bitcoin transfers.

Steph Is Crypto’s post ultimately puts renewed focus on an early stage of Ripple’s interoperability work. At the same time, the accompanying video provides a direct look at how Larsen demonstrated cross-currency payments more than a decade ago.

The post Most People Don’t Know This About Ripple (XRP) appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Although the security team fixed the flaw before finding any evidence of exploitation, Daniel questioned whether the reward adequately reflected the potential consequences of the vulnerability.

In a post on X, Daniel (@daniel_wwf) criticized Ripple’s decision to award the maximum amount available under its bug bounty program. He noted that the company should have offered at least ten times that amount, given the scale of the potential damage the vulnerability could have caused.

Daniel Questions Ripple’s $250,000 Bounty

Daniel expressed his dissatisfaction with the reward after Veria Labs co-founder SuperBeetleGamer disclosed details about the vulnerability and explained how the team discovered it using artificial intelligence.

Veria Labs said its AI agent spotted the flaw and confirmed that a single transaction could have generated an enormous amount of XRP. The team reproduced the exploit on a standalone server before submitting the issue through the XRP Ledger bug bounty program.

The researcher received $250,000 for the discovery. Commentator Daniel was not satisfied with that figure. He argued Ripple should have ‘added at least another zero’ to the payout, putting it at a minimum of $2.5 million. Daniel also questioned what a $250,000 reward communicates to security researchers who uncover critical flaws in major blockchain networks.

Vulnerability Could Have Threatened XRP’s Fixed Supply

Veria Labs said the vulnerability came from two separate bugs that, when combined, produced a far more serious exploit. An attacker could have created 18 trillion XRP in a single transaction, which is roughly 184 times XRP’s total supply of 100 billion tokens.

The bugs traced back to code written in 2015 and 2017, meaning the flaw sat inside the XRP Ledger for nearly a decade before Veria Labs’ AI agent caught it.

Veria Labs noted the network had gone through multiple security audits over the years, yet the flaw slipped through each time. The team believes that happened because the two bugs appeared far less serious when examined separately.

The discovery highlights what AI agents can bring to security work. By analyzing how different bugs interact, they can catch complex vulnerabilities that traditional reviews miss.

RippleX Responded With an Emergency Fix

Veria Labs reported the vulnerability on September 22, and the XRP Ledger team confirmed it on the same day. Developers merged a fix on September 23 and released it on September 25, when more than 80% of validators had upgraded, according to the disclosure.

The team said developers bypassed the network’s usual amendment process to address the critical issue. RippleX also found no evidence that anyone had exploited the vulnerability.

Although Veria Labs praised the team’s response, Daniel’s criticism focused on whether the financial reward reflected the potential severity of the discovery.

His comments raise a broader question about how blockchain companies should compensate researchers who uncover vulnerabilities capable of threatening the integrity of their networks, particularly as AI tools make sophisticated security testing more accessible.

The post XRP Ledger Bug: Ripple Awarded Maximum $250,000 Bounty and This Happened appeared first on Times Tabloid.

SMQKE cited the section titled “Ripple and BNY: Speeding Up Cross-Border Payments With Stablecoins,” which discusses how the two companies are working around stablecoins and digital assets. The publication states that the goal is to help corporate treasuries move money “24/7/365, in real time, through stablecoins and digital assets like XRP.”

SMQKE emphasized the reference in an X post, writing, “XRP IS IN BNY MELLON’S GLOBAL PAYMENTS PLAN.” He then directed readers to the publication as documentation for the claim.

The statement places XRP within a broader payments strategy that also involves stablecoins and tokenized financial infrastructure.

Ripple and BNY Mellon’s Stablecoin Connection

The publication explains that BNY Mellon became the primary reserve custodian for Ripple USD (RLUSD) in July 2025. It describes RLUSD as a stablecoin designed for enterprise use cases and for improving the speed, cost, and efficiency of cross-border payments.

The document also notes that Ripple acquired a TMS solution from GTreasury in October 2025. According to the publication, the objective involves helping corporate treasuries move money continuously and in real time through stablecoins and digital assets such as XRP.

Jack McDonald, Ripple’s Senior Vice President of Stablecoins, said the companies are not trying to remove the role of banks in corporate banking relationships. Instead, he explained that Ripple wants to strengthen the relationship between corporations and banks while exploring the integration of RLUSD into BNY’s payments ecosystem.

The publication also describes interoperability between tokenized deposits and stablecoins as an important factor in bringing these use cases into practical operation.

XRP Mention Raises a Key Question

SMQKE’s post focuses specifically on the publication’s inclusion of XRP. However, the document does not state that BNY Mellon currently uses XRP for every payment transaction.

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

— TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025

One commenter, Zoid, suggested that the necessary infrastructure may already exist and that companies could need to activate it. He also questioned whether a future increase in XRP demand could result from a supply-related mechanism or another development.

David Arnal offered a more cautious interpretation. He said BNY Mellon mentioning XRP in its payments plan is notable. But he stressed that an important distinction remains over whether BNY will use XRP directly in transactions or whether XRP will remain available alongside stablecoins.

For SMQKE, the key point remains the explicit reference to XRP in BNY Mellon’s publication and its inclusion within the institution’s broader discussion of real-time corporate payments.
