The legislation has been moving around, but Coinbase also pulled its support recently, while pushing changes it says would work for both crypto firms and banks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more: Fed\u2019s Waller Eyes \u2018Skinny\u2019 Master Account by Year-End as Crypto Hype Cools<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ripple-keeps-on-building-acquiring\">Ripple Keeps On Building (Acquiring)<\/h2>\n<p>Ripple has been building out more than just payments. It bought prime broker Hidden Road for US$1.25 billion (AU$1.91 billion) and treasury management firm GTreasury for US$1 billion (AU$1.53 billion) last year, and spent US$200 million (AU$306 million) on stablecoin firm Rail.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It also acquired wallet-as-a-service provider Palisade for an undisclosed amount.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Ripple said it expanded its institutional custody platform by integrating Securosys and Figment. The firm stated Securosys adds hardware security modules so banks and custodians can manage cryptographic keys on-premises or in the cloud, while Figment is meant to let institutions offer staking without running their own validator or building key-management infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Garlinghouse\u2019s pitch to XRP holders was to ignore short-term pain; he cited about 33% monthly declines for XRP and 26% for Bitcoin and focused on what he called the larger opportunity to make financial infrastructure faster and cheaper.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Jump Trading Bets Big on Prediction Markets With Stakes in Kalshi and Polymarket<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Ripple,XRP#Ripple #CEO #Trillion #Valuation #Reach1770885464<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse believes the firm can reach a US$1 trillion valuation, a 25x increase from its current US$40 billion mark.
