Here's a fresh deep dive into the latest developments at Ripple and XRP — from its banking license push to stablecoin milestones and institutional backing. This blog breaks it all down in an educational, data-driven style. #CryptoNews #RippleUpdate
In early July 2025, Ripple officially submitted an application to the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) for a national banking charter to support its stablecoin RLUSD. Simultaneously, its subsidiary Standard Custody & Trust filed for a Federal Reserve Master Account. If approved, this would allow Ripple to:
Ripple's stablecoin, RLUSD, has now surpassed $500 million in circulation, marking a major milestone. Adding to the momentum, Bank of New York Mellon has joined as a custodian—signaling increasing institutional engagement.
Such developments are critical for stablecoin trust and scalability, supporting Ripple's broader strategy of becoming a regulated financial infrastructure firm.
Volume Spike: Trading volume surged 125% in 24 hours, typical of accumulation phases seen before significant breakouts.
Options Smart Money: Analysts note rising call option activity, suggesting institutional bullish sentiment.
The recent Genius Act passed by the U.S. Senate is pushing stablecoin issuers to obtain bank charters—Ripple’s moves align proactively with this trend.
OCC’s current leadership under Rodney Hood has eased crypto charter requirements, with no federal denials since 2009.
Regulation & Trust
Institutional Ready
Market Momentum
Competitive Edge
National charter + Fed access = stronger legal framework for RLUSD/XRP
BNY Mellon, Hidden Road, MTLs → suited for large-scale finance
Short-term consolidation possibly setting up big breakout
Ahead of peers like Circle, BitGo in federal compliance
Charter Decision – Will the OCC grant the national bank charter? Approval could be a bullish catalyst.
Fed Master Account – Direct Fed reserves = core foundation for traditional integration.
Institutional Roll-Out – Watch for announcements from BNY Mellon or other banks about using RLUSD/XRP.
XRP Technicals – Overcoming resistance at ~$2.33 may open the path toward $2.50+ or higher.
