So follow this for a second. Ripple just partnered with B&Y Mellon and that's the biggest custody bank on the planet. 52 trillion dollars in assets under custody. They're now holding the reserves for Ripple stablecoin RLUSD. B&Y Mellon has, you know, for a very long time been amongst the most trusted partners out there for as a custody bank. So we're really pleased. We think it's indicative of the shift of tide where we've had headwinds for this industry are now becoming tailwinds. I think we're going to see a lot of growth. The exact same shift from the outside. They look like two different stories. You know, Chainlink over here, Ripple over there. But underneath, they're building the same thing. Ripple has Ripple Treasury doing $13 trillion of volume for corporate CFOs. Chainlink has the DTCC and Swift running on their standards. Both companies are positioned to be the plumbing of the new financial system. And both are building the same rails for AI agents to move money on their own. And you are already seeing really experimentation and science experiments, but you're seeing examples where AI agents actually are enabling payments. And so we want to make sure that we are future ready and future proof is how we think about XRP and the XRP ledger. There's an announcement yesterday where MasterCard is partnering with about 30 different companies in the industry to help construct some of that. MasterCard, 30 companies, ripple in the middle of it, AI agents making payments on crypto rails, and guess who's also embedded in that MasterCard AI payments group? Chainlink. So, this isn't a Chainlink versus XRP thing." --- ## Contributing Accounts - `@rekojydoorb` (https://x.com/rekojydoorb) - `@Crazypaperbag` (https://x.com/Crazypaperbag) - `@horsefun_sol` (https://x.com/horsefun_sol) - `@3orovik` (https://x.com/3orovik) - `@Deadly_3D` (https://x.com/Deadly_3D) - `@Thormichaey` (https://x.com/Thormichaey) - `@theNFTcat_sol` (https://x.com/theNFTcat_sol) - `@WhiteWhaleLabs` (https://x.com/WhiteWhaleLabs) - `@Solana_Emperor` (https://x.com/Solana_Emperor) - `@CryptoGodJohn` (https://x.com/CryptoGodJohn) - `@inversebrah` (https://x.com/inversebrah) - `@Dashke` (https://x.com/Dashke)
