  They're Selling XRP At The Worst Time 08.10.2026 1u 24min

  XRP is being sold at the worst possible time: three red days in a row, in the same stretch that a $35 billion hedge fund signed with Ripple Prime, Paxos switched on XRP trading, and Ripple's president put a $30 billion target on the XRP Ledger. Here is what the sellers missed. Brevan Howard picks Ripple Prime for multi-asset prime brokerage, clearing and financing. Monica Long's 2027 targets at XRP Seoul: $30 billion in tokenized real-world assets on the XRP Ledger (about $6 billion today) and 100 million+ AI agent transactions. Spot XRP ETFs hold about $1.7 billion but took in about $4 million last week. Evernorth's Nasdaq debut (XRPN, about 473 million XRP) moves to October 12. Also tonight: AI agents on the XRP Ledger with t54, Coinbase and Citi on stablecoins, Grape's XRP Man game, iTrustCapital's Q, a live reaction to Founders episode 3, Rubio in Athens, CNN's new owners, Quebec's separatist win, Canada's assisted-dying law, France's school protests, and the UK's arrests over online posts.

  473 Million XRP Isn’t Enough 03.10.2026 1u 47min

  Wall Street, Korean banks and AI agents are all reaching for XRP at the same time, and there is only so much of it. Evernorth is expected to hit the Nasdaq on October 8 (ticker XRPN) with about 473 million XRP, and that's the small number: US spot XRP ETFs already hold 1.19 billion XRP. Four Korean financial institutions took the stage at XRP Seoul in front of 5,000+ people, XRPL validators are voting on the LendingProtocolV1_1 amendment, and the XRP Ledger passed 10 million x402 AI agent payments. Also today: XRP Asia launches, Ripple's RLUSD insurance pilot in Uganda, RLUSD ranks #2 in Q3 stablecoin growth, Ripple Swell in New York, the federal noncitizen voting ruling, Trump's Oklahoma rally, the school riots in France, and Canada's trade fight. 🔴 LIVE every Sunday 8 PM ET · Wednesday 8 PM ET · Saturday 8 AM ET ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00 Cold open (full chapters added after the show) ☕ SUPPORT Badassery Coffee https://badasserycoffee.com OTC Mint https://otc.one/mint OTC Merch https://onthechain.shop Support On The Chain on Ko-fi https://ko-fi.com/onthechain 🔗 ON THE CHAIN Website https://onthechain.io Subscribe https://onthechain.io/subscribe/ X https://x.com/On_The_Chain Jeff https://x.com/Jeff_OnTheChain Chip https://x.com/stephenchip ⚠️ DISCLAIMER The information contained in this video is for informational and entertainment purposes only and should not be considered financial, investment, legal, or tax advice.

  Big Money Is Coming For XRP 28.09.2026 1u 30min

  Big money is coming for XRP. The XRP Ledger added $2.4 billion in tokenized real-world assets this year, one of the top three chains for RWA growth. US spot XRP ETFs added 34 million XRP this week and now hold 1.16 billion XRP. And on October 5, XRPL's Permission Delegation upgrade is scheduled to go live, letting an XRP account hand specific permissions to another account (including one run by an AI agent) without ever sharing its keys. Also on this episode: FXRP turns one on Flare, Brian Armstrong on AI agents as the new API users, the CLARITY Act fallout, the 49-50 Senate vote on the Iran war, the arrests near RAF Fairford, and Iran's 74-lash sentence for a singer.

  XRP Goes To War On October 5 24.09.2026 1u 30min

  On October 5, XRP goes to war, and the weapon isn't a price pump. It's a key. The XRP Ledger's Permission Delegation upgrade has entered its 14-day activation countdown and could go live October 5 if validator support holds. Master keys stay locked in the vault. Delegates get a badge instead: up to ten specific permissions, and never the keys. Jeff and Chip break down why that's the feature compliance departments, stablecoin issuers and AI agents have been waiting for, while XRP sits at $1.50 and everybody else stares at red candles. Also on the show: Amazon Web Services joins the XRP Ledger Hackathon with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore; the XRPL AI Starter Kit adds the Open Wallet Standard, MPP from Tempo and Stripe, and x402; Evernorth teams up with The Bear Champ; RLUSD and the APAC stablecoin map; BlackRock's "tokens" chart; the ECB's digital euro pilot; the FOUNDERS sitcom parody; and in the back half, Trump vs. Biden at the UN, Milei, Rubio and Cuba, the Denmark–Greenland deal, and Around the World.

  ETFs Bought A Billion XRP. Nothing Happened. 19.09.2026 2u 5min

  XRP spot ETFs now hold 1.13 billion XRP and $1.46 billion in assets, after another 6.3 million XRP of inflows this week and 645.3 million XRP walking off exchanges. Every part of the bullish mechanism fired at once, and XRP sat at $1.43. Jeff walks the Week 38 supply report line by line, and Chip puts beside it the number nobody else quotes: the ETFs and index funds hold 1.129% of total supply, while exchange wallets hold roughly 21%. The ETF bid is real. It is not yet large enough to see. Also in this episode: the Fed's unanimous 12-0 hike to 3.75%-4.00% and why XRP didn't blink; where all 100 billion XRP actually lives; Ripple Treasury and the trapped-cash problem; XRP and RLUSD landing in Stripe and Tempo's AI payments kit; Stuart Alderoty on why politics beat policy on CLARITY; wallet security and the dead-phone cold storage protocol; and the Greenland agreement that Trump calls permanent American control while Denmark's own statement calls sovereignty preserved.

  Democrats Blocked Clarity Act - XRP Won't Wait 17.09.2026 1u 22min

  Democrats blocked the CLARITY Act, leaving the United States without the digital asset framework the crypto industry spent years fighting to secure. Now, some of the senators responsible cannot clearly explain why they voted against it. But XRP isn't waiting for Washington. While Congress fails to deliver clarity, XRP and RLUSD are moving deeper into the infrastructure being built for AI-powered commerce, open wallets and machine payments. We break down who stopped the CLARITY Act, what happens next and why the financial system continues building around XRP. We also cover Ripple Swell 2026, the XRPL AI Starter Kit, the critical D'CENT security warning and the growing battle over AI.

  They Can't Build This Without XRP 14.09.2026 1u 20min

  Something much bigger is being built around XRP, and the pieces are getting harder to ignore. RLUSD is expanding its liquidity and distribution through Spark’s Stablecoin FX Layer. At the same time, the XRP Ledger Foundation is talking openly about writing TradFi primitives directly into the XRPL, including lending, infrastructure and agentic payments. Flare is experimenting with new ways to generate XRP rewards. Canton continues advancing institutional settlement infrastructure. And while all of this is happening, another XRPL project bites the dust. Then Washington enters a critical week for crypto as the CLARITY Act heads toward a major Senate vote. And we’re going around the world: Trump in Ireland, the growing conversation around a reunited Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland challenging the future of the UK, Putin warning about Europe and Russia, and Trump declaring that whoever wins the AI race wins. The financial system is changing. The infrastructure is being built. And XRP keeps showing up in places that matter. At some point you have to ask: What are they building... and why does XRP keep ending up in the middle of it? 🔥 SUPPORT ON THE CHAIN ☕ Badassery Coffee https://badasserycoffee.com 🧊 Mint a Badass Yeti https://otc.one/mint 👕 OTC Merch https://otc.one/shop 📧 Subscribe To OTC https://onthechain.io/subscribe/ ☕ Support OTC on Ko-fi https://ko-fi.com/onthechain 🌐 On The Chain https://onthechain.io 🐦 FOLLOW US ON X On The Chain https://x.com/On_The_Chain Jeff https://x.com/Jeff_OnTheChain Chip https://x.com/stephenchip #XRP #Ripple #XRPL #RLUSD #Crypto #Cryptocurrency #XRPNews #CryptoNews #Blockchain #OnTheChain

  XRP Is The Key To Money 12.09.2026 1u 56min

  XRP may be becoming the key to something much bigger than payments. Ripple is challenging the idea that every regulated stablecoin is created equal. A money transmitter license, state trust charter, and federal prudential supervision each carry different reserve requirements, verification standards, and consequences if an issuer fails. As stablecoins become part of the financial system, the level of regulatory oversight behind them could determine which assets institutions are willing to trust. Clearpool is also expanding to the XRP Ledger, bringing institutional-ready credit and lending infrastructure directly to XRPL. The proposal includes migrating from CPOOL to CLEAR and recapitalizing the treasury to fund incentives, adoption, and the platform’s next phase of growth. Institutional credit remains largely untapped on XRPL, but Clearpool believes the opportunity is massive. At the same time, RippleX is working with Common Prefix to formally verify the XRP Ledger. This effort goes directly to the reliability and security institutions require before moving serious financial activity onchain. We are also looking at the XRPL validation stream, where UNL validators vote on the same ledger hash until consensus is reached and the ledger sequence advances. Ripple Treasury is pushing even deeper into the Office of the CFO with GSmart and what Ripple describes as Treasury-Native AI. Instead of placing AI beside treasury operations, Ripple is embedding intelligence directly into existing financial policies, data, workflows, and deterministic financial logic while keeping people responsible for the final decisions. Solana is also developing confidential transfers and batch functionality, reinforcing the institutional demand for privacy, scale, and controlled financial operations on public blockchain infrastructure. Tonight, Chip and Jeff connect all of it. Regulated stablecoins. Institutional credit. Formal verification. Treasury-native AI. Confidential transfers. Batch transactions. These are not isolated developments. They are pieces of the financial infrastructure being built for the next era of money.

  They Keep Choosing XRP 05.09.2026 1u 53min

  They keep choosing XRP—and at this point, it’s getting harder to call it a coincidence. Brad Garlinghouse is inside the room as America pushes to become the crypto capital of the world. The Bank for International Settlements tested the XRP Ledger in a proof of concept for verifying official economic data. AI agents are already using XRP and RLUSD to purchase intelligence, research, forecasts, and digital services. Now the Florida Gators are putting XRP directly on the field at the Swamp. Different players. Different objectives. The same ledger keeps showing up. Meanwhile, a central bank spent months repositioning $11 billion in gold, Congress is walking away for the final two weeks of September, and the attacks against XRP are getting louder. Is this simply a collection of unrelated headlines—or are governments, institutions, developers, and major brands revealing what comes next before the market is ready to see it? Jeff and Chip connect the dots on XRP, Ripple, the BIS, AI-agent payments, RLUSD, American crypto policy, the Florida Gators partnership, and the growing backlash surrounding XRP.

  XRP Just Became a MUCH BIGGER Problem 03.09.2026 57min

  XRP is getting harder to dismiss. We’re breaking down why the story around XRP is getting much bigger than payments alone. The onchain economy is accelerating. Institutional settlement is moving toward 24/7. Cross-border costs are collapsing. Credit and lending infrastructure is being built directly into the XRP Ledger. Batch transactions are getting security audits. Developers are being pushed toward XLS-65 and XLS-66. And the Bitwise XRP ETF has now crossed $500 million in assets under management. This is no longer one isolated XRP headline. The infrastructure is stacking. Payments. Tokenization. Trading. Lending. Credit. Institutional access. And the bigger that stack gets, the harder XRP becomes to ignore. Chip and Jeff break down: • Why Uphold says the new financial system is moving onchain • Why XRP and XRPL keep showing up in the institutional conversation • The new XRPL credit and lending rail • XLS-65 and XLS-66 • The upcoming XRPL lending hackathon • The latest Batch Transactions security audit • The Bitwise XRP ETF crossing $500M AUM • What all of this could mean for XRP adoption • Plus tonight’s biggest geopolitical stories from the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and beyond This one goes much deeper than price. The question is no longer whether XRP has a use case. The question is how much of the next financial system gets built around the rails XRP was designed to use. 🔥 SUPPORT ON THE CHAIN 🔥 ☕ BADASSERY COFFEE https://badasserycoffee.com 🪙 OTC MINT https://otc.one/mint 👕 OTC MERCH https://onthechain.shop 📩 SUBSCRIBE TO OTC https://onthechain.io/subscribe/ ☕ BUY US A COFFEE https://buymeacoffee.com/onthechain 🌐 ON THE CHAIN https://onthechain.io 🎙️ OTC PODCAST https://otc.one/podcast FOLLOW US ON X On The Chain: https://x.com/On_The_Chain Jeff: https://x.com/Jeff_OnTheChain Chip: https://x.com/stephenchip Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and hit the notification bell so you don’t miss the next live show. #XRP #XRPL #Ripple #Crypto ``` That **full Support On The Chain block** is the one I should be carrying into every OTC YouTube description.

Tonight, Chip and Jeff break down Ripple’s Lending Protocol V1.1 security review, Single Asset Vaults on XRPL, and how Ripple Custody, RLUSD, Ripple Payments, Ripple Prime and the XRP Ledger are starting to connect into something much bigger. We also get into what this means for XRP utility, institutional adoption, tokenized assets, settlement, liquidity and the future of finance.

  The Window to XRP Is Closing 29.08.2026 1u 24min

  Ripple is moving deeper into institutional finance — and the window for XRP may be getting smaller. Ripple Prime now has more than $1 BILLION in regulatory net capital, 24/7 cross-margining, and a growing bridge between digital assets and traditional markets. What happens when the infrastructure gets built before the market fully understands what’s happening? We’re digging into: ⚡ Ripple Prime’s expansion across equities and digital assets ⚡ More than $1B in regulatory net capital ⚡ 24/7 institutional cross-margining ⚡ What prime brokerage looks like in the digital asset era ⚡ Ripple’s continued push into global payments ⚡ David Schwartz on how quickly transformative technology can accelerate ⚡ The latest geopolitical noise out of Washington ⚡ And what all of this could mean for XRP The infrastructure is being built.

  BANKS CAN'T AVOID XRP 27.08.2026 1u 51min

  The financial system is moving fast — and XRP keeps showing up exactly where the next phase of money is being built. Mastercard is sponsoring the XRP Ledger Hackathon in New York just ahead of Ripple Swell. At the same time, 39 U.S. state banking associations are launching the BankChain Alliance to explore tokenized deposits, stablecoins, and smart payments. Crypto-backed mortgages are moving into the mainstream. AI-driven finance is expanding on XRPL. Hedera is pushing blockchain directly into AI development tools. And Michael Saylor is still stacking Bitcoin at a scale almost nobody else can match. These are not isolated headlines. They point to the same thing: The line between traditional finance and digital assets is disappearing. And if XRP is already positioned inside the rails being built for payments, tokenization, stablecoins, and agentic finance... there may be NO GOING BACK. Tonight on On The Chain, Jeff and Chip break down: • Mastercard’s move into the XRP Ledger ecosystem • Why the XRPL Hackathon ahead of Ripple Swell matters • 39 state banking associations building blockchain infrastructure • Tokenized deposits, stablecoins, and smart payments • Crypto-backed mortgages moving into traditional finance • The rise of agentic finance on XRPL • Hedera, AI tools, and the emerging machine economy • Michael Saylor’s latest Bitcoin move • What all of this could mean for XRP and the broader crypto market SUPPORT ON THE CHAIN ☕ Badassery Coffee https://badasserycoffee.com 🧊 OTC Mint https://otc.one/mint 👕 OTC Merch https://onthechain.shop ❤️ Support OTC https://ko-fi.com/onthechain 🔔 Subscribe https://onthechain.io/subscribe/ 🌐 Website https://onthechain.io 🎙️ Podcast https://otc.one/podcast FOLLOW ON THE CHAIN On The Chain https://x.com/On_The_Chain Jeff https://x.com/Jeff_OnTheChain Chip https://x.com/stephenchip DISCLAIMER: This content is for informational and entertainment purposes only and should not be considered financial, legal, or investment advice.

  XRP JUST CROSSED THE LINE 24.08.2026 1u 25min

  XRP just crossed a line — and there may be no going back. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse joined the inaugural CFTC Innovation Advisory Committee alongside some of the biggest names in traditional finance — Nasdaq, CME Group, CBOE, NYSE, DTCC and more. For years, crypto fought to get a seat at the table. Now Wall Street, Washington and crypto are sitting in the same room. Meanwhile, millions of Americans own crypto, crypto-related economic activity continues to grow, and the line between traditional finance and digital assets is getting harder to see. Tonight, we break down what this shift could mean for XRP, Ripple and the future of crypto.

  XRP Is MISSING This 27.07.2026 1u 51min

  XRP was built to move value quickly, efficiently, and globally. But as the financial system moves toward tokenization, programmable liquidity, DeFi, and onchain finance, one question is becoming impossible to ignore: WHAT IS XRP STILL MISSING? Tonight, Flare takes center stage. Flare is working to extend XRP beyond payments and settlement—opening the door to programmable financial applications through FXRP, FAssets, Smart Accounts, and XRPFi while preserving the XRP Ledger as the underlying settlement and trust layer.
