Show Summary
Stripe just came for XRP. Privy, the wallet company Stripe owns, is partnering with Ripple to put embedded wallets on the XRP Ledger, so developers can drop XRP and RLUSD straight into their apps. Jeff and Chip walk through what that opens up, then connect it to a week where the big names kept lining up behind the ledger.
- Standard Chartered is now custodying RLUSD on the XRP Ledger through its DIFC branch.
- Evernorth named Ripple, Coinbase, Kraken and BitGo as execution partners to put its 473M XRP treasury to work.
- France is weighing a 31.4% tax on crypto-to-stablecoin conversions.
- An HSBC whistleblower's letter to Scott Bessent lands the same week Treasury hits Bank of America with $1.21B in penalties, and the guys run through a decade of bank fines while Elizabeth Warren keeps blaming crypto.
- A viewer's Japanese XRP candy gets a live taste test.
- Also in the back half: Blakeman vs. Hochul, Jewish voters breaking from New York Democrats, the midterm Senate map, why sitting out the election costs your crypto bag, why third parties lose, and U.S. vs. Europe innovation.
