Friday recap for the XRP Army ⚔️ Alright XRP Army, let’s get into this week’s rundown. Big moves. Big setbacks. Plenty to unpack. Hold the line! 👇 • The CLARITY Act failed to advance in the Senate, falling short of the 60 votes needed to move forward. • Seven Democratic Senators said the setback was “not the end,” reaffirming their commitment to bipartisan crypto market structure legislation. • The SEC launched its Innovation Exemption, opening a path for limited onchain trading of tokenized U.S. stocks. • RippleX expanded the XRPL AI Starter Kit with support for Stripe and Tempo’s Machine Payments Protocol, bringing AI-agent payments to XRPL. • @Ripple partnered with @GoCards, bringing permanent XRP branding to Denny Crum Court and Louisville Basketball. • XRPL 3.4.0 went live, introducing LendingProtocolV1_1 and expanding native lending and vault infrastructure. • Ripple joined Visa Ventures, Circle Ventures and others in backing Velocity’s expansion of institutional stablecoin infrastructure. • @ClearpoolFin is expanding institutional credit infrastructure toward XRPL, with ethereum:0x8292bb45bf1ee4d140127049757c2e0ff06317ed lending and native credit primitives in the roadmap. • U.S. XRP ETFs reached roughly $1.7B in cumulative net inflows after nine consecutive positive weeks. • Ripple Custody 1.41 shipped with stronger address validation, adding another upgrade to Ripple’s institutional custody stack.
