Show Summary
Jeff and Chip open with Flare’s latest teaser and the possibility that XRPFi may finally give XRP the programmable utility it has been missing. They break down Ripple Mint, institutional RLUSD automation, Ripple’s investment in Notabene, and new XRPL Commons funding programs designed to attract builders and expand the ecosystem. The conversation then moves into the Clarity Act, XRP’s existing legal clarity, U.S. politics, immigration, national security, failing urban policies, and major geopolitical developments from Europe to Morocco.
