## Resource

Ripple has spent years building pieces that, on the surface, looked disconnected. Payments. XRP. RLUSD. Prime Brokerage. Institutional custody. Europe. Native lending. Security. Developer adoption. But what if they were never separate initiatives? What if Ripple has been building a completely new financial infrastructure—and we're only now seeing how all the pieces fit together? In this episode of On The Chain, Jeff and Chip connect the dots behind Ripple Prime's $3 trillion institutional clearing business, Monica Long's European regulatory update, the rapid expansion of RLUSD, XRPL's new lending protocol, formal verification of the XRP Ledger, Korea's largest XRPL accelerator, and why institutional adoption appears to be accelerating faster than ever. Is this the moment Ripple's long-term strategy finally becomes visible? 👇 SUPPORT ON THE CHAIN 👇 Badassery Coffee https://badasserycoffee.com OTC Mint https://otc.one/mint OTC Merch https://onthechain.shop Subscribe To OTC https://onthechain.io/subscribe/ Help OTC Keep the Lights On https://ko-fi.com/onthechain Website https://onthechain.io Podcast https://otc.one/podcast FOLLOW ON THE CHAIN On The Chain X https://x.com/On_The_Chain Jeff https://x.com/Jeff_OnTheChain Chip https://x.com/stephenchip Disclaimer: This content is for educational, informational, and entertainment purposes only.
