Summary
Ripple continues expanding far beyond the narrative most people still associate with XRP. This week alone, Ripple joined the x402 Foundation as a Premier Member to help shape the future of AI-powered payments, Ripple Ventures participated in Velocity's $38 million Series A funding round, Ripple reaffirmed that traditional finance is being rebuilt on blockchain rails, and the company continued pushing for regulatory clarity in Washington. Individually, these stories may not seem groundbreaking. Together, they paint a much bigger picture. Tonight, Jeff and Chip connect the dots behind Ripple's growing role across AI, stablecoins, institutional finance, blockchain infrastructure, and digital asset regulation—and why XRP's ecosystem continues getting even bigger. We also discuss Ripple's support for veteran-owned businesses, the latest Swell 2026 announcement, the return of the Ripple Clarity Truck to Washington, our Around the World geopolitical segment, and finish the night with a few laughs.
