The post XRP News: Former SWIFT Exec Denies Integration Rumors, XRPL’s Independent Path Still Bullish? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The long-running rumor of a SWIFT-XRP integration just hit a wall. On July 10, 2026, Tom Zschach, former chief innovation officer at SWIFT, publicly dismissed claims that the global bank messaging network would back or integrate XRP or the XRP Ledger. SWIFT Moves Toward Tokenized Bank Deposits, Not Public Crypto Zschach explained that SWIFT is developing its own shared ledger for the blockchain system. It aims to address tokenized commercial bank deposits and interoperability between traditional finance and distributed ledgers, 24/7.

The post Ripple joins the x402 agentic payments push. The machine-to-machine bet appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The x402 standard revives a dormant corner of the web’s original design, the 402 Payment Required status code, to let AI agents pay for services autonomously, per call, with no accounts and no cards. Ripple has moved to put the XRP Ledger and RLUSD inside that standard, betting that when machines become the economy’s newest customers, they will settle on its rails. Summary Ripple is integrating the XRP Ledger and RLUSD with the x402 payment standard to support autonomous AI agents making on chain payments.

The asset was frequently driven lower by lower highs and lower lows, and the 50-day and 100-day moving averages served as dynamic resistance levels. However, it appears that sellers are starting to lose control based on recent price action.  The departure from the sharply declining trajectory that dominated June trading is the most noteworthy development. Without first creating a textbook reversal pattern,
