Let’s face it: the crypto market is about as stable as a house of cards in a hurricane. But while everyone else is clutching their pearls, Ripple-led by the indefatigable Brad Garlinghouse-has been busy playing matchmaker with banks and hackers. Because why not?
Ripple’s New Endeavors
If you thought blockchain was just for storing cat videos, meet Immunefi. Ripple has enlisted them to “boost institutional adoption” of its XRP Ledger. Translation: “We’re trying to make sure our code doesn’t melt down like a birthday cake in a sauna.” The XRPL Lending Protocol now boasts pooled lending and automated repayments. Because nothing says “enterprise-ready” like a system that can’t even remember if it’s a Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Ripple’s latest partner is Absa Bank in South Africa. Together, they’re tokenizing assets-because nothing says “mainstream finance” like letting banks count cryptocurrency with the same enthusiasm as a toddler counts cookies. The partnership follows Ripple’s earlier stab at deploying its stablecoin in Africa. One wonders if the continent’s next export will be XRP or just existential dread.
Last month, we announced RLUSD live on the African continent… and today so is Ripple Custody through our partnership with Absa Bank, one of South Africa’s leading financial institutions!

ETF Developments
The XRP Army is now fully focused on ETFs, like a pack of wolves who’ve discovered the joy of paperwork. Polymarket’s odds for a spot XRP ETF approval? 100%-if you believe the US government will stop its annual tradition of shutting down like it’s a grumpy toddler refusing to go to bed. In the meantime, Volatility Shares has filed for leveraged ETFs. Scott Melker, aka “The Wolf of All Streets,” called them the “worst idea ever.” Because nothing says “financial innovation” like turning crypto into a casino game with a side of regret.
XRP Price Update and Alert
Let’s talk about the recent market crash-because nothing brings people together like watching your portfolio evaporate. XRP hit a multi-year low below $1, which is about as exciting as a tax audit. It bounced back briefly, then promptly forgot how to grow up. Analysts are now debating whether it’ll break out or break down. ERGAG CRYPTO says there’s a 57% chance of an upswing and 43% of a breakdown. Because in crypto, “analysis” is just a fancy word for educated guessing.
Whales, meanwhile, have been selling like it’s Black Friday at the crypto mall. Over 2.2 billion XRP tokens vanished in days. If you’re wondering where they went, the answer is probably “somewhere with better Wi-Fi and fewer questions.”
