Ripple fights the SEC as USDC increases the utility and demand for XRP ledgers
The USDC regarding the integration of the XRP ledger will arrive during negotiations for an ongoing Ripple SEC lawsuit. Court documents reveal that both the SEC and Ripple have jointly requested the Manhattan District Court to resolve the injunction and have announced a $125 million civil penalty held in escrow.
“We are pleased to announce that we are committed to providing a range of services and services to providing services that are important to us,” said Markus Infanger, senior vice president of Ripplex. “Regulated stubcoins like USDC appearing in XRPL enable new institutional and retail use cases by leveraging the built-in capabilities of ledgers for compliance, tokenization, low-cost payments, and seamless on/off ramps.”
Native USDC integration eliminates bridging requirements
The USDC of XRP ledger deployment provides direct access without bridging requirements and addresses technical challenges that have historically limited adoption of Stablecoin. Circle’s institutional platform Circle Mint and its APIs fully support USDC transactions on the XRPL mainnet.
Nikhilchanduk, the circle’s chief product and technology officer, said this. “Starting USDC with XRPL unlocks new possibilities for developers to build seamless, real-world financial applications. We look forward to helping USDC accelerate utilities and innovation across the XRPL ecosystem.”
Trident announces $500 million XRP Treasury funding
The announcement of Trident, with Chaince Securities LLC as a strategic advisor, to raise up to $500 million for its XRP Treasury business, shows an increase in institutional trust. This development supports the momentum of XRP news and strengthens XRP’s positive price forecast scenarios as regulatory uncertainty decreases.
This timing coincides with the Ripple SEC litigation settlement debate, with the parties offering to pay $50 million to the SEC. Market volatility concerns are addressed through strengthening regulatory compliance and institutional adoption of blockchain-based payment solutions.
As Ripple continues to expand its payment solutions in over 90 markets with a $70 billion processing volume, adding USDC to the XRP ledger along with RLUSD creates cross-border payments and enhanced Defi application options. This combination addresses traditional banking restrictions while providing an alternative to the Swift system for international transfers.
