In this episode of On The Chain, Jeff and Chip discuss why XRP price action may be the wrong way to measure Ripple’s progress. They break down the bigger infrastructure story around the XRPL Foundation, RLUSD, OpenUSD, stablecoin yield, institutional payments, and credit on the XRP Ledger.
Key topics:
• Why Ripple’s progress goes beyond short-term XRP price movement
• Brett Molan’s view of the XRPL as traditional finance infrastructure

• Fourth of July, America 250, freedom, innovation, and constitutional rights

It is illegal in America for a stablecoin to pay you interest. The issuer takes your dollars, earns the yield, and a 2025 law bars it from passing you a cent. So on June 30th, 140 of the largest companies on earth announced a coin built to capture that yield for themselves.… pic.twitter.com/x35zKS3j0a

Introducing a new financial primitive to XRPL: Credit (now in voting).
— Jazzi Cooper (@jazzicoop) June 29, 2026
We've spent the last few years evolving the XRPL stack:
1. Represent value.
2. Move value.

Right now, Dems have a math problem in taking back the Senate.

They need a net pickup of 4 seats & lead in 1 GOP held seat (NC). Rest are ties or GOP ahead.
Problem is the fundamentals.... Median of key 6 states: GOP with +6 on generic ballot. 53% say Dem party too far left. pic.twitter.com/FUdQRfXIAB

Everyone who's lived through a communist revolution recognizes *exactly* what this is. This isn't a partisan Democrat thing. This kind of struggle session is the end phase of the "long march through the institutions". Students of history know what comes next... https://t.co/8F7M2o4rnr

Rep Jayapal gets asked if there is one country where socialism actually worked, and of course she can’t answer and tries to pivot away from it.

Whenever I vowed to arrest bad guys, the pushback was always "you can't do that! There's no room in the jails!"

Communists close the jails, then they can use the "not enough jails" excuse to never enforce the law, as your city erodes.
