Both funds from the TradFi giants are their first tokenized products on public blockchains.<\/p>\n<p>Ripple said the new smart contract allows holders of BUIDL and VBILL to instantly exchange their shares for its native stablecoin (RLUSD) 24\/7, which could unlock additional stable, on-chain transfers. In other words, investors can &#8220;gain continuous exposure to RLUSD while preserving exposure to on-chain yield and a broader range of DeFi strategies, further driving utility, flexibility, and interoperability for tokenized assets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cRLUSD is for institutional use, offering regulatory clarity, stability, and real utility. As adoption grows, partnerships with trusted platforms like Securitize are key to unlocking new liquidity and enterprise-grade use cases,\u201d commented Ripple&#8217;s SVP of Stablecoins, Jack McDonald.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is the first official integration of Ripple&#8217;s stablecoin into Securitize&#8217;s platform, but both parties said they plan future collaborations. Securitize also plans to integrate with the XRP Ledger to expand access and bring new utility to its broader ecosystem.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"xrp-whales-buying-again\">XRP Whales Buying Again<\/h2>\n<p>Ali Martinez noted that XRP whales have been busy in the past five days, coinciding with the aforementioned statement, acquiring more than 470 million tokens (valued at over $720 million) within this timeframe. These large market participants have been quite active lately. As <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ripple-whales-go-on-massive-accumulation-spree-bigger-xrp-price-move-coming\/\">reported<\/a> a week ago, they purchased over 1.5 billion tokens in the span of 96 hours.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">XRP WHALES KEEP BUYING<\/p>\n<p>In just five days, whales accumulated more than 470 million <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/search?q=%24XRP&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$XRP<\/a>, worth around $724 million.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, an inverse head-and-shoulders continues to form on the daily chart.<\/p>\n<p>The bullish breakout could be getting closer. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/f2VzDvpQpm\">https:\/\/t.co\/f2VzDvpQpm<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/X3xMv7zOQF\">pic.twitter.com\/X3xMv7zOQF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ali Charts (@alicharts) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/alicharts\/status\/2103416762591031686?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 25, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, the native token has gone on a wild ride.

As of now, XRP remains at around $1.55, but Martinez is still bullish on its future price performance.<\/p>\n<p>He believes XRP has completed the right shoulder of a major inverse head-and-shoulders pattern on the daily chart, but it needs to overcome the crucial resistance at $1.60 to aim at $2.00.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/xrp-whales-keep-buying-as-ripple-makes-big-blackrock-related-announcement\/\">XRP Whales Keep Buying as Ripple Makes Big BlackRock-Related Announcement<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/xrp-whales-keep-buying-as-ripple-makes-big-blackrock-related-announcement\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The company behind the token in question just announced, in a joint venture with Securitize, a smart contract&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34693,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-crypto","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47476","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=47476"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47476\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/34693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=47476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=47476"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=47476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
