Ripple is no longer just defending itself against regulation—they’re becoming a bank.
Key update:
Ripple Labs filed to create Ripple National Trust Bank, a federally regulated U.S. trust bank.
Why it matters:
• Institutional-grade crypto custody ✅
• Direct access to U.S. banking rails 💵
• No intermediaries for liquidity 🔗
• Compliance built-in, not negotiated ⚖️
• XRP becomes part of regulated financial infrastructure 🏦
While other crypto projects fought regulators, Ripple embedded itself inside the system.
Institutions may start seeing XRP differently. This could change the game. 👀
