Show Summary
Ripple may have just revealed its long-term strategy.
Jeff and Chip connect the dots between Ripple Prime, institutional clearing, Europe's regulatory progress, RLUSD expansion, XRPL lending, formal verification, Korea's rapidly growing XRPL developer ecosystem, and why these announcements together point toward something much bigger than payments.
They also discuss the latest geopolitical developments, healthcare fraud enforcement, political changes in the UK, and several stories shaping the broader economic landscape.
