XRP Sheds Nearly 6% Weekly as Traders Rotate Into XLM After DTCC Partnership

Ripple’s march to full banking status is one of the biggest talking points among members of the XRP community, with some analysts and enthusiasts asking whether the regulatory milestone could serve as the factor that pushes XRP into price territory it has never previously reached. The company’s balance sheet, its growing institutional presence, and XRPL-native infrastructure developments are combining to project bold predictions, including a target of $25 per coin. Ripple’s Banking Approval Is Important In December 2025, Ripple received conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) for a national bank charter, which is a milestone no other crypto-native company had achieved. The charter is designed to clear the way for Ripple National Trust Bank, which will custody and manage reserves for Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin.

The post XRP RWA Boom Outpaces Ethereum, Hits $400M in 15 Months appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP’s Tokenized RWA Surge Is Outpacing Ethereum and Redrawing the Crypto Map  According to crypto research firm Evernorth, XRP is emerging as one of the fastest-growing ecosystems for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), with momentum now outpacing several leading ecosystems, including Ethereum. So far in 2026, RWAs on the XRP Ledger have risen from about $227 million to over $404 million, a 78% year-to-date increase.

The post David Schwartz’s XRP staking idea tests IRS reward tax rules appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. David Schwartz, Ripple’s former chief technology officer, has renewed debate over how staking rewards should be taxed if XRP Ledger ever adopted a native staking model. Summary David Schwartz says staking rewards minted by a protocol should not be taxed before sale. His comments revive tax questions around XRP staking even though XRPL lacks native staking. The IRS currently taxes proof-of-stake rewards when taxpayers gain dominion and control over them directly. His comments came during a discussion with crypto tax expert Clinton Donnelly about whether staking rewards should face tax before a holder sells them. David Schwartz separates minted rewards from transferred rewards David Schwartz said the tax treatment should depend on how a staking system creates and delivers rewards. In his view, rewards that already exist and are transferred to a user can be treated as taxable income
