A high-quality USD stablecoin on the XRPL – with its decentralized exchange and features like issued currencies, auto-bridging (that uses XRP as the native currency to facilitate trades between other assets), and the AMM — will be a gamechanger for users and devs.
Launching a stablecoin is a natural step for Ripple as we bridge the gap between traditional finance and crypto. We have 1/ the years of experience 2/ regulatory footprint 3/ a strong balance sheet and 4/ a network with near global payout coverage, to offer the best of…
Instead of getting rid of qualified immunity, let's extend it to everyone accused by the government of violating the law. Why should we hold ordinary citizens to a higher standard of compliance with the law than we hold those sworn and paid to uphold it?
A lot of scammers are taking advantage of the recent good news to try to cheat and steal. There are no airdrops, giveaways, or special offers associated with this ruling.
It seems there's a light switch in my garage that does nothing. Hit it by accident yesterday. Wasn't sure what it did so I switched it back an hour ago. Strange to have one that does nothing at all.
Maybe this is the exhaustion talking, after a week of going to bed at 1AM and getting up at 7, but I feel more positive about Ripple's prospects, and those for the entire crypto space, now than I have in at least six years.
I had my yearly performance review at
@Ripple
today. You will all be happy to know that I achieve all of my objectives for this meeting -- I still have an awesome job.
I have to admit, I thought the world would turn on SBF and friends as soon as their outrageous fraud, shocking incompetence, and mind-boggling greed became clear. I am completely baffled at the level of success the concerted whitewashing is achieving.
My usual Lamborghini and caviar ads have been replaced by ads for payday loans and the suicide prevention hotline. Is something going on in the crypto markets?
A lot of people think that my tweets are coded messages or jokes, but that is not true. Every single tweet means exactly and precisely what it says.
Except for this one.
Thanks to the collective effort of the
#XRPL
community and
@RippleXDev
engineers, XLS-20 is now enabled on the XRP Ledger Mainnet and a few NFTs have already been minted. (1/4)
I'm happy to unveil my personal motto for 2023. I've researched it, workshopped it, A/B tested it, and even tested it with focus groups. It's perfect.
Without further ado, here it is:
I refuse to believe that this is the best we can do.
The CBDC Platform reaffirms the significance of the XRP Ledger as it’s built with the same core ledger technology. It has the ability to interact with
#XRPL
and use XRP as a bridge currency for cross-currency and cross-border payments.
Public Service Announcement: If you see a Tweet that tells you to send some cryptos somewhere and more will be sent back to you, it's a scam. If it seems to be coming from someone you have reason to trust, it's probably an imposter. If not, pick different people to trust.
The United States is one of the few countries where regulators will, after years of you operating in full light of day and frequently updating them on everything you're doing, turn around and tell you that you should have known you were breaking decades old laws all along.
I had a conversation with a bitcoin maxi today. It went like this:
Him: Do you want to know my opinion of XRP?
Me: Sure.
Him: It's worthless.
Me: I know, but tell me anyway.
I finally decided to share my speculations about the price of XRP over the next few months. Also, since the Polysign NDA/embargo has been lifted, I can finally share the exciting stuff we're doing.
Thrilled to announce that we've integrated with XRP Ledger🤗 This integration opens the door for cross-chain interoperability between XRPL and other blockchains.
Native asset $XRP has been supported already, and more will be added soon.

Wrapped XRP is coming to Ethereum! Great news for those that want to access XRP within Ethereum wallets, DeFi, and smart contracts.
It’s a multichain 🌏 after all.
Today we’re announcing that we’ll be officially supporting Wrapped XRP (wXRP) on the Ethereum blockchain starting in December. XRP is the native asset of the XRP Ledger (
@XRPLF
).
Let me just say that if Binance had anything to do with FTX collapsing, they were doing a public service because the sooner this growing cancer -- a fraud from day one -- gets stopped the better for all of us.
Say what you want about
@Bitboy_Crypto
(and I certainly do), but he was warning us that
@SBF_FTX
was the devil before there was even any good reason to.
This is probably going to be my least popular tweet ever, but: If you have life-changing amounts of cryptocurrency, please take some time to seriously consider selling some to reduce your risk and exposure. This is not any kind of prediction about what the market will do.
After ~2 years, the day has finally arrived – the AMM is live on XRPL mainnet! Thus begins a longer road from today’s initial rollout to future growth milestones for users, traders, devs, market makers and many more. Looking forward to the journey alongside all of you in the XRPL…
1/ The XLS-30 AMM is now live on
#XRPLedger
!
XLS-30 is an evolution of XRPL’s native DEX, introducing a first-of-its-kind approach to on-chain market-making and liquidity. Learn more here:
I have a suggestion for Ledger that might end this debacle:
1) Apologize for the poorly thought out announcement.
2) Don't sign or release the firmware as planned.
3) Instead, create two firmware streams, one with recovery and one without. Ship the firmware without recovery.…
I'm privileged to give a motivational talk to all the new Ripple employees joining us from Metaco. I think I've got it perfect, but if anyone has any suggestions for last minute edits, I'd love to hear them.
One year ago today, the
@SECgov
filed a lawsuit against
@Ripple
,
@chrislarsenSF
and me, alleging that XRP – a public crypto that has been trading on the open market since 2013 – should have been registered as a security. 1/10
I heard that Bill Gates' son was in math class and when the teacher asked if anyone could count to ten, he raised his hand and said: "𝟣,

Years ago, XRP hitting 25 cents for the first time was an excuse for a party. Someone had wristbands made up to give out at the party. Today, my grandkids were walking along a beach and spotted a piece of green rubber floating. What are the odds?
There's a lot of things I could say about what's happened over the past few days with
@IOHK_Charles
and the XRP community. But I will just say that this situation makes me very sad.

Is this headline actually saying that women get "degree upon degree" because they expect that it will "help them get established for marriage"?!?!
I was offered $1,000 to shill a cleaning product on my Twitter feed. But I refused because I am a person of strong moral character. As strong as Clorox clinging gel toilet cleaner which kills 99% of germs including covid. Try Ocean Mist or Cool Wave.
Given the increasing popularity of issued assets on the XRP Ledger and the various airdrops going on, it's probably a good idea to remind people that the XRP Ledger permits issuers to "freeze" assets that they issue. 1/7
As many of you know, I sold 40,000 ETH at about $1 to put solar panels on a house I no longer own. That ETH was worth over $100 million shortly after. 1/5
Conversation with my wife after I explained plan for getting garbage cans to garage:
Her: Why must you always try to be so needlessly efficient?
Me: A big part of my job is figuring out the fastest and most efficient way to get things done.
Her: [In "that" voice] Oh, I know.
Please take a moment out of your day to find some human compassion for
@SBF_FTX
who will now have to rent superyachts, have regular horses instead of thoroughbreds on his private ranches, and feed his servants Osetra caviar rather than Beluga.
I now personally advocate lowering the XRPL reserves from 20/5 to 10/2. (I have not discussed this with anyone at Ripple. (Thinking about it, I probably should have.) It is my personal position.)
I wore this to an après ski themed party. Turns out nobody but me and my wife dressed to the theme -- everyone else was in fancy cocktail attire. Also, the mayor of SF was there.
if you're in any way affiliated with ripple, you've ever worked with them, or taken money from them, you're dead to me. it's that simple. their entire strategy is lobbying a) to get Bitcoin/PoW banned and b) to get Ethereum branded a security. ghastly people.
@elonmusk
So you want a platform like Twitter but filled with people yelling the n-word, sharing detailed rape fantasies, and posting pictures of their toilets before they're flushed?
@NICKIMINAJ
Hmm. I could listen to what doctors and other medical professionals are saying based on data involving millions of people, or I could listen to what Nicki Minaj says her cousin told her about his friend. However can I reconcile these two nearly equally good choices?
