The scorecard for an XRP investment thesis that separates Ripple licensing from XRPL utility signals
Ripple enters 2026 with new permissions in the UK and the EU.In January, Ripple said it received UK Financial Conduct Authority permissions covering an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license and cryptoasset registration.On Feb. 2, it said it received full EMI approval in Luxembourg.But what does that really mean for XRP investors?Ripple’s own standardized XRPL “snapshot” tables effectively stop at Q1 2025 (when it said it would sunset the XRP Markets Report in its current form), so 2026 “utility” narratives should be tested against fresher third-party research and live XRPL dashboards, most recently benchmarks like Messari’s Q3 2025 network review, rather…

Crypto exchange Coinbase has accused Australia’s major banks of systematically cutting off services to crypto and fintech firms, stating debanking has shifted from a rare event to “a systemic feature of…
