Big news heading into @RippleSwell: the @USOCC has granted final approval for Ripple National Trust Bank.
This gives Ripple a federally supervised platform to support $RLUSD and provide digital asset custody to enterprises.
We’ve always said crypto and banks work better together — this is what that looks like. Real innovation, real accountability, federal oversight.
The revolution isn't happening outside the system. It's happening from within it.
Despite all the advances of the last few centuries—whether scientific, cultural, or technological—humanity has failed to improve itself intellectually to the point where we can coexist without conflict. @elonmusk How, then, can we be arrogant enough to think we should make contact with other life forms beyond this planet, let alone set foot on other planets? I admit, it may sound a bit naive.

BREAKING: Saudi Arabia has informed European refiners that they will be allocated no crude oil next month amid the East-West pipeline shutdown, per Bloomberg.
European customers normally receive Saudi Arabian crude oil shipments on "term contracts," which are meant to ensure a steady flow of crude oil supply every month.
Countries in Europe imported 577,000 barrels of crude oil per day from Saudi Arabia prior to the shutdown.
Europe is facing its worst energy crisis in history.

Don’t forget - Ripple and XRP stand on settled ground. The 2023 federal Court ruling established XRP is not a security.
And in March the SEC and CFTC issued a joint interpretation naming XRP a digital commodity. SEC Chairman Atkins and a CFTC Chairman Selig understand these markets. We expect future rulemaking from both agencies to continue to set out clear rules of the road.
1/ This one stings. Our team gave everything we had to get the Clarity Act across the finish line. So did most of the industry. This was an opportunity bigger than Ripple or one company - we did this for the industry, for consumers and to cement the US’s position as the crypto capital of the world and as a leader in the future of finance. Ultimately, consumers and U.S. competitiveness got left behind.
2/ A post mortem needs to be done on why this failed (more from me on that in the days ahead). The politics of the democrats (the anti-crypto army) was elevated over good policy.
3/ There is still reason for optimism for crypto in the United States. Now, the SEC, under Chair Atkins, and the CFTC, under Chair Selig, will continue to work hard to issue rules to fill the legislative gap and we will continue to be actively engaged in that rule making process.
4/ Ripple's business has never been stronger — real demand across traditional finance and the digital asset ecosystem. A missed vote in Washington doesn't change our momentum, our global footprint, or our customers.
The CLARITY Act has failed to clear the 60-vote threshold in the U.S. Senate, with 49 votes in favor and 50 against.
But this is not the end of the road.
The vote concerned the procedural step required to move the bill forward. After further negotiations, the legislation could still be revised and brought back to the Senate.
The underlying goal remains unchanged: establishing clearer rules for digital assets and defining the respective roles of the SEC and CFTC.
For XRP and Ripple, this means short-term regulatory uncertainty — but the broader regulatory shift in the U.S. continues. SEC and CFTC actions, further legislation, and other regulatory developments remain possible.
The path to regulatory clarity may have become longer, but it certainly hasn’t disappeared.
The bigger question remains: What will the final U.S. market structure for digital assets look like — and what role will XRP play in it?

Today, the Clarity Act failed to advance in the Senate, a tremendous missed opportunity for American consumers, the digital asset industry, and U.S. competitiveness.
What it doesn't change: Ripple and $XRP stand on settled ground.
The Clarity Act may have fallen short, but the need for clear rules has not gone away. And neither has Ripple's commitment to helping build them. on.ripple.com/4AeG5CF

This bill isn't just a compromise…it's the product of real, substantive trades policymakers made to get here.
I said this many months ago: perfect can't be the enemy of good…
and let's be clear: those trades weren't small. This isn't a deal Senators should be ‘settling for’ — it's a deal that they should stand behind.
Senate: the world is watching and voters are watching. Now is the time to vote yes.
I’ve said many times that the CLARITY Act is essential to ensuring America wins the global race for new technology. That’s the reason Congress passed the GENIUS Act: to ensure that stablecoin infrastructure, a revolutionary financial technology, will be built in America.
Ensuring that America’s community bank sector continues to thrive has been a constant focus of mine since day one. And the administration’s dual focus on enabling new digital technology to flourish and appropriately tailoring community bank regulation is key to both sectors driving U.S. economic growth together over the next several decades.
The final draft of the CLARITY Act furthers this mission. It gives the Secretary of the Treasury additional authority to act if the facts around deposit flight change to the detriment of community banks. If stablecoins cause harm to community banks, I will not hesitate to use these tools to ensure they remain fully protected. Community banks are essential to U.S. economic performance and Main Street growth. Economic security is national security, and community banks play a major role in this principle.

Proud to be in the room.
Making America the crypto capital of the world is within reach - let’s finish the job
Thank you @POTUS for hosting some of America's top leaders in innovation at the @WhiteHouse last month. Under your leadership, we're ensuring that the new frontier of finance is built on American soil.
