Congrats @ashgoblue and the @evernorthxrp team on today’s launch! Evernorth fills the missing link today in XRP capital markets, and XRP usage in DeFi products. I’m proud to invest 50M XRP in the firm (you may see some wallet movement on this).

🚨 Big news: we’re going public. We’ve entered into a business combination agreement with Armada Acquisition Corp II — a transaction expected to raise over $1B, creating the largest public XRP treasury company on the Nasdaq under “$XRPN.” Learn more: prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

In early 2023 when I funded the “Change the Code” campaign, my goal was to see if there was a way to turn Bitcoin into an accelerator for direct air capture. The campaign didn’t work, and that’s ok! Note - Ripple did not fund this campaign. Bitcoin’s energy transition in the…

It's time for the Democrats to have a new approach to tech innovation, including crypto. I believe @KamalaHarris will ensure that American technology dominates the world, which is why I’m donating $10M in XRP in support of her.

NEW — The big-money super PAC Future Forward raised over $100 million just last month. $10 million from Dustin Moskovitz $10 million from Chris Larsen $9 million from a nonprofit called Evidence for Impact $5 million from JB Pritzker

1/8 On July 10th, I hosted a roundtable with the White House and cryptocurrency industry leaders because I believe it is important for the US to lead on technology and innovation – and this industry embodies both.

The SEC's unhinged campaign against us is finally over. Let’s all hope this ends this Administration’s war on crypto.

The SEC asked for $2B, and the Court reduced their demand by ~94% recognizing that they had overplayed their hand. We respect the Court’s decision and have clarity to continue growing our company. This is a victory for Ripple, the industry and the rule of law. The SEC’s…

Gensler’s SEC has become unhinged. This will not, and should not, go unnoticed in an election year, as the SEC singlehandedly thinks it’s above the law, dragging the US further behind other G20 countries.

Gensler’s SEC has repeatedly acted outside the law – not going unnoticed by Judges admonishing the agency for a "gross abuse of the power entrusted to it by Congress" (DEBT Box case) and for acting without "faithful allegiance to the law" (Ripple case). Let’s not also forget…

As a native San Franciscan, it's disheartening to see how the Tenderloin has been impacted by patchwork policy solutions over the years. The community needs urgent support and sustainable investments from the city and state to ensure that it can thrive moving forward.

OPINION: A longtime leader in the Tenderloin, Kate Robinson offers a three-part plan to fix the troubled neighborhood: 1. Declare a state of emergency to stop drug sales. 2. Provide funds for parks. 3. Address graffiti, illegal dumping, and trash issues. sfstandard.com/2024/02/06/fun…

Yesterday, there was unauthorized access to a few of my personal XRP accounts (not @Ripple) – we were quickly able to catch the problem and notify exchanges to freeze the affected addresses. Law enforcement is already involved.

It appears @Ripple was hacked for ~213M XRP ($112.5M) Source address rJNLz3A1qPKfWCtJLPhmMZAfBkutC2Qojm So far the stolen funds have been laundered through MEXC, Gate, Binance, Kraken, OKX, HTX, HitBTC, etc

This is an isolated incident, and Ripple wallets are secure / were never compromised. We’ve confirmed nearly all the affected funds were converted out of XRP. We’re working with law enforcement and have been advised that a significant portion of funds have been frozen, and are…

The last 3 years we’ve seen a rogue administrative state that needs to be held accountable for its actions – not just an investigation into the conflicts of interests that led to these baseless claims, but how the US actively demolished its global standing as the home for…

The SEC made a serious mistake going after Brad & Chris personally – and now, they’ve capitulated, dismissing all charges against our executives. This is not a settlement. This is a surrender by the SEC.

Chatted with @jonsteinberg31 about the upcoming SF mayoral race, and the number of folks who care deeply about the future of this city. SF comes with its own unique set of (solvable) challenges, and I believe Mayor London Breed remains the right person for the job.

New from me @theinformation. I interviewed philanthropist and Levi's heir Daniel Lurie about his quest to become San Francisco mayor. His odds are long, but he's got time—and a lot of money—on his side. theinformation.com/articles/danie…

The UK has, and will continue to be a home for financial and technological innovation -- thank you Chancellor @Jeremy_Hunt for leading the charge!

The UK is Europe’s Silicon Valley - a tech and creative industries powerhouse. I went to the original to tell them how far we’ve come, and to climb aboard.

I sincerely hope we’re seeing the beginning of the end of the SEC’s policy of regulation by enforcement. The Courts are rejecting it, and now it’s time for Congress to take the lead on crypto policy. Thanks @EdLudlow @technology for the chat!
