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
Season 6 Β· Episode 915
Thursday, September 17, 2026 β’ Duration 01:22:02
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.

Season 6 Β· Episode 914
Monday, September 14, 2026 β’ Duration 01:20:40
Something much bigger is being built around XRP, and the pieces are getting harder to ignore.
RLUSD is expanding its liquidity and distribution through Sparkβs 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 weβre 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?

XRP Is The Key To Money
Season 6 Β· Episode 913
Saturday, September 12, 2026 β’ Duration 01:56:24
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 platformβs 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.

They Keep Choosing XRP
Season 6 Β· Episode 911
Saturday, September 5, 2026 β’ Duration 01:53:35
They keep choosing XRPβand at this point, itβs 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 headlinesβor 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.
Drop your answer in the comments: Which signal matters mostβthe BIS, AI-agent payments, the White House, or XRP entering mainstream sports?

XRP Just Became a MUCH BIGGER Problem
Season 6 Β· Episode 910
Thursday, September 3, 2026 β’ Duration 57:22
XRP is getting harder to dismiss. Weβre 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:
β’ Why Uphold says the new financial system is moving onchain
β’ Why XRP and XRPL keep showing up in the institutional conversation
β’ The new XRPL credit and lending rail
β’ XLS-65 and XLS-66
β’ The upcoming XRPL lending hackathon
β’ The latest Batch Transactions security audit
Big Money Needs XRP For What's Next
Season 6 Β· Episode 908
Monday, August 31, 2026 β’ Duration 01:25:44
Rippleβs financial ecosystem is expanding fast β and the XRP Ledger is moving deeper into the infrastructure that could power the next generation of lending, liquidity, payments and institutional finance.
Tonight, Chip and Jeff break down Rippleβs 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.
Then we shift into GEOPOLITICS and AROUND THE WORLD β Trump, Fetterman, universal healthcare, immigration, Buc-eeβs, Canada vs. Trump, Lake America, Mark Carney, Doug Ford, France and more.

The Window to XRP Is Closing
Season 6 Β· Episode 907
Saturday, August 29, 2026 β’ Duration 01:24:30
Ripple is moving deeper into institutional finance β 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 whatβs happening?
Weβre digging into:
β‘ Ripple Primeβs expansion across equities and digital assets
β‘ More than $1B in regulatory net capital
β‘ 24/7 institutional cross-margining
β‘ What prime brokerage looks like in the digital asset era
β‘ Rippleβs continued push into global payments
β‘ David Schwartz on how quickly transformative technology can accelerate
β‘ The latest geopolitical noise out of Washington
β‘ And what all of this could mean for XRP
The infrastructure is being built.
The institutions are moving.
And the window may be closing faster than people realize.
The financial system is moving fast β 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:
β’ Mastercardβs move into the XRP Ledger ecosystem
β’ Why the XRPL Hackathon ahead of Ripple Swell matters
β’ 39 state banking associations building blockchain infrastructure
