US Treasury Secretary: AI boom may boost productivity and help curb inflation.

US Treasury Secretary Bessent told CNBC in an interview that he hopes the Federal Reserve will remain "open-minded" about the inflation pattern after the reversal of Iran-related energy price hikes. Bessent noted that the U.S. could enter an economic environment marked by high GDP growth without a corresponding rise in traditional inflation. He cited that in the 1990s, Alan Greenspan foresaw that office modernization and the internet could drive non-inflationary growth, and allowed the economy to keep expanding. Bessent believes the U.S. has a strong chance of seeing a similar scenario again. When asked whether the Fed still needs to worry about potential inflation and whether interest rate cuts are possible this year or next, Bessent declined to comment. However, he argued that it is necessary to stay open-minded about the price or inflation impacts from the Iran conflict, and monitor inflation performance after those effects subside. Bessent also said an open mind is needed, as the AI boom could boost productivity and deliver disinflationary effects, helping inflation return to the Fed’s target level. He added that he believes Kevin Warsh will choose the optimal path that meets both the Fed’s inflation and growth mandates. Bessent also noted that Warsh previously took a hawkish stance on inflation.

Tucker Carlson’s on-air apology for misleading viewers into supporting Trump has unsettled his base, and the Polymarket contract on Trump publicly insulting Carlson by April 30 sits at 100% YES.

Carlson’s public expression of regret carries weight given his influence within the MAGA sphere. The market had already priced in a high likelihood before Carlson’s comments, but the latest remarks reinforce the probability. Trump has a well-documented pattern of responding to perceived disloyalty with public attacks.

The situation points to potential rifts within Trump’s support network. Marjorie Taylor Greene has also shown signs of dissent. Trump’s history of public insults, often delivered via Truth Social or during rallies, suggests he might respond aggressively to Carlson’s contrition. Multiple sub-markets show the same certainty for a public insult by month-end.

The combined daily trading volume is currently at zero, meaning no new bets are being placed. Traders appear confident in their existing positions rather than actively trading on new developments. The absence of new trades also suggests that any movement in this market will come from direct actions or statements by Trump rather than speculative activity.

Carlson’s remarks could signal deeper problems for Trump as parts of the MAGA base grapple with contradictions posed by the ongoing US-Iran conflict, which some view as conflicting with “America First” principles. At 100% YES, a YES share pays out at 100¢, leaving no financial incentive for further speculation unless new developments change the picture.

Watch for direct responses from Trump, particularly on social media or at public events. His next public address or rally could be the catalyst, with any derogatory comments about Carlson likely cementing the current odds.

Editor’s note: The story has been updated to include a response from Forbes.

American Bitcoin Corp. (NASDAQ:ABTC) co-founder Eric Trump lashed out on Tuesday at an article painting the firm as an “arbitrage play” targeting MAGA supporters.

Trump Brings Out The ‘China’ AngleIn an X post, Trump attributed the critical coverage to Forbes’ ownership by Hong Kong-based Integrated Whale Media Investments.

“Since being acquired by China, Forbes has become a political weapon and an embarrassment to journalism,” he said. “Educate yourselves as to the source of your information — in this case, China!”

Trump compared the current narrative to Forbes’ past reporting on his St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital fundraising, with some funds allegedly diverted to other charities linked to his family.

A Forbes spokesperson told Benzinga that they stand firmly behind their reporting. “It's not uncommon for subjects to challenge a story they don't like, but that does not change the accuracy of our work,” the media outlet said.

Trump Defends Firm’s Rising BTC HoldingsRegarding American Bitcoin, Trump highlighted the firm’s rise as the 16th largest corporate Bitcoin holder, with a 7,000 BTC treasury valued at $539 million.

“We have arguably climbed the ‘Top 100’ rankings faster than any company in the space and continue to aggressively mine and scale daily,” he said.

But Questions AriseTrump’s defense came in response to the report stating that the company burned $500 million in shareholder value since going public in September, while Trump’s personal wealth jumped from $190 million to $280 million.

The ABTC stock has tumbled 85% since its Wall Street debut. It's worth noting that despite the subpar performance, analysts have remained bullish on the stock. Roth Capital and H.C. Wainwright & Co. both initiated coverage of ABTC with a “Buy” rating and set a price target of $4.

Price Action: At the time of writing, BTC was exchanging hands at $76,556.90, down 0.09% over the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

American Bitcoin shares surged 3.42% in overnight trading after closing 3.31% lower at $1.17 during Tuesday’s regular session. Year-to-date, the stock has collapsed 31.18%.

Benzinga’s Edge Stock Rankings show a weaker price trend in the medium- and long-term periods, but strong performance in the short term.

The sculptor behind a 22-foot golden statue of Donald Trump unveiled at the president’s golf course this week says it was “chaos” behind the scenes.

“Once somebody has shown that they can’t be trusted to do what they say, you don’t work with them anymore,” sculptor Alan Cottrill told Miami New Times when asked in an interview whether he would work on the upcoming skyscraper set to become the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library in Miami.

The artist’s initial response to the prospect of another collaboration with the MAGA crypto bros who commissioned the so-called “Don Collosus” statue was short: “f--k no.”

Sculptor Alan Cottrill, 73, examines his gold-leafed bronze statue of Donald Trump at his studio in Zanesville, Ohio. Eric Cox/REUTERS Cottrill’s giant gold-leafed effigy was erected at the Trump National Doral golf course in Miami on Thursday and unveiled during an emotional ceremony led by Pastor Mark Burns, who is seen as the president’s informal spiritual adviser and was allegedly involved in the project.

“This was a clusterf--k,” Cottrill told the New Times, describing the “chaos” that building the statue caused while working with crypto investors who commissioned the Trump likeness as part of a promotional push for their memecoin, $PATRIOT.

In an exclusive interview with The Daily Beast, the artist revealed that the “crypto boys” used images of the sculpture to launch their token, which he said constituted copyright infringement.

Donald Trump’s statue at his golf club in Miami stands 22 feet tall, including its pedestal. Adam Schupak/Golfweek He alleged that they later stopped paying for the project, forcing him to store the statue—completed last year around Trump’s January inauguration—in an undisclosed location until payment was made.

“I usually deal with people that have everything organized,” Cotrill, who mentioned he has “400 life-size or larger statues around the country,” told the New Times.

Still, Cottrill increased the total cost of his creation from $300,000 to $450,000 after pitching the idea of adding a gold-leaf finish to the bronze statue for an additional $60,000, and eventually charging $90,000 for the alleged copyright infringement.

“It’s like pitching ice water to a man dying of thirst,” the sculptor said about selling the gold-leaf addition, which pleased the gold-obsessed president, whose son Eric has attempted to distance the family from the project.

In a post on Truth Social, the 79-year-old president praised the newly erected statue, which depicts him raising his right fist in a gesture reminiscent of the moment he re-emerged after surviving an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania campaign rally.

“The Real Deal - GOLD - At Doral in Miami. Put there by great American Patriots!!!” Trump posted on Thursday, though the sculptor told the New Times not to forget that “it’s just a normal bronze statue with a coating of gold leaf over the entire thing,” rather than being fully made of gold.

The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for comment.

Patrick Bewley’s X feed was normally filled with posts about leather three-ways and clips of pool-house erotica.

The gay OnlyFans star, known as Daddy Patrick, had decided to get into the adult industry at age 60, and in under two years his followers on X swelled to 132,000. But in April, his feed suddenly became very political—and very MAGA—with posts like “President Trump stuns the World announcing America has more oil than the next two largest Oil economies COMBINED.”

Except it wasn't Bewley behind the change. His account had been hacked.

Bewley is one of several gay OnlyFans creators WIRED spoke to who was targeted by recent crypto scams on X, where attackers are attempting to extort money from creators to get their accounts back. In some cases, when they refused to cooperate, their accounts were filled with posts about crypto, or, as with Bewley, MAGA propaganda.

On April 9, Bewley received a DM on X from a coworker, the porn director and editor Jasun Mark, whose account had already been hacked, though Bewley didn’t know it at the time. The message, which asked Bewley to nominate Mark for an award, seemed harmless because “it did sound kind of like something he would do,” Bewley says. The link Mark sent redirected Bewley to an X page that asked for his login information “but nothing was taking, or so I thought.” Bewley went about his day and later, after Mark notified him that he hadn’t actually sent that DM about the award nomination, he went to check his page and it was gone.

By tricking Bewley into clicking on the fake link, the attacker was able to change the name, telephone number, and email on Bewley’s account. The handle was first changed to @DADDYPATRIOzvu, and a day later, on April 10, to @Fatherokdwcjo63.

Bewley’s partner immediately reported the hack to X from his personal account, saying it had been stolen. Then something strange happened: The account went into “crazy MAGA mode,” Bewley says. The banner and avatar were changed to a menacing black-and-white picture of Steve Bannon that advertised WarRoom.org, the official site for his politics podcast, with a linktree to Bannon’s various platforms, including his TikTok, Telegram, merch store, and official website.

On April 16, a week after the initial attack, whoever hijacked Bewley’s account posted an image on the compromised X account of Donald Trump, with a text overlay that read “GOOD MORNING, I’M STILL YOUR PRESIDENT.” Under the post, Bewley’s partner, Jerry Burt, asked how they could get the account back. “Just pay for it. That’s all,” the account hijacker wrote in a series of screenshots reviewed by WIRED. “You want this account or not? Ain’t joking man.”

The asking price? $2,000 in GAT crypto.

When Bewley refused to pay, the attacker messaged his employer, Ducati Studios Network, a gay porn production company where he recently joined as CMO, demanding $3,000 in crypto.

Bewley’s partner stopped engaging after nearly two weeks of back-and-forth. The account then “started force feeding pro-MAGA propaganda,” Burt says, reposting 20 to 30 posts a day from extremist Republican pages like @MAGAVoice, the self-described “Proud Patriot. Pro Elon Musk” account that wants to “take back OUR country.”

The loss of the account has been a major blow to Bewley’s brand. A high follower count, particularly on X, gives the perception that you are a player within the adult industry. “In a way, it dictates who will want to work with you,” Bewley tells WIRED. “It is the one platform people look at as the measure of where your standing is, almost like a ranking. And everybody wants to work with you if you have over 100,000 followers. You have automatic credibility.” WIRED contacted an account that appears to be associated with Bewley’s hack but did not receive a response.

Notcoin has lost over 8%, currently trading at $0.0019. NOT’s daily trading volume has surged by 18%. The cryptocurrency market’s recovery attempts have failed, with all major assets painted in red, trading on the downside. Notably, the largest asset, Bitcoin (BTC), has fallen toward the $113.8K range. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH), the largest altcoin, hovers at $3.6K, triggering the altcoins to shed their recent gains in the price movement. 

Within the altcoin sector, Notcoin (NOT) has emerged as one of the trending coins, posting an 8.07% loss in price following the bearish pressure. In the early hours, NOT was trading at a high of $0.002132, with bullish candles. Later, the bears took command of the asset and pulled back the price to a low of $0.00195. 

At the time of writing, Notcoin traded within the $0.001969 mark, as per CoinMarketCap data. In addition, the market cap has reached $197.21 million, with the daily trading volume of NOT surging by over 18.47%, likely touching the $30.35 million level. 

Following this, NOT might slip and test the nearest $0.001963 support, and more losses could invite the death cross to unfold. The bears may send the price toward its former low of around $0.001957. Assuming the Notcoin bulls gain momentum, the price could immediately climb to the resistance at the $0.001975 range. Continued gains might trigger the golden cross to take place and drive the asset price above $0.001981. 

Notcoin Technical Indicators: Is It Caught in a Bearish Grip? On analyzing Notcoin’s technical indicators, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence line sits below, and the signal line is above the zero line. This crossover implies an overall bearish momentum. If the MACD moves up to the zero line, it could signal a bullish trend reversal, as reported by TradingView. 

Besides, the asset’s Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator is found at -0.21, pointing at the selling pressure in the market. Also, the capital has been flowing out of the asset rather than into it. Further fall in value hints at strong bearish sentiment, and the price may continue to face downward pressure unless a reversal occurs.

Notcoin’s daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 37.20, suggesting its bearish zone, and may hit the oversold territory. The weak momentum has the potential for a reversal if buying pressure increases. Moreover, the Bull Bear Power (BBP) reading of the asset at -0.000184 indicates that the bears currently have slight control over the market.

With a 4% loss, Notcoin is hovering around the $0.0021 range. NOT’s CMF value indicates that money is flowing out of the asset. All the major assets are charted in red, eyeing the downside, with the crypto market losing momentum. The largest assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have fallen to reclaim the recent lows in the morning hours. The bearish pressure has triggered the price action of the digital assets to retrace. 

Meanwhile, Notcoin (NOT) has slipped with a 4.21% loss in value following the bear power. NOT began trading the day at around $0.002277. Eventually, the wave of bears took the asset’s price down to a low range of $0.002118. 

The CMC data has shown that at press time, Notcoin trades within the $0.002166 mark, with the market cap reaching $215.42 million. Moreover, the daily trading volume of NOT is up by over 6.76%, likely touching the $32.43 million level.

The asset has recorded a brief spike in the last seven days. Notcoin’s weekly low was marked at around the $0.0019 range. With the bullish presence, the price has climbed toward $0.0023. Also, it has managed not to drop below the $0.0021 zone. 

Will Notcoin Recover Soon? With the bears gaining strength, the Notcoin price might fall to the $0.002161 support. An extended downside correction could trigger more losses, and the price would revisit the established low ranges between $0.002156 and $0.002150. If the bullish pressure rises, the asset’s price could ascend to the nearest resistance at the $0.002171 level. Sturdy bulls might likely take the Notcoin price toward $0.002176 and even higher. 

The asset’s Moving Average Convergence Divergence line slipping below the zero line points to the faded bullish trend. As the signal line is above zero, there is some residual positive momentum, but at a risk of turning neutral or bearish if the MACD of Notcoin dips further. In addition, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator settled at -0.12 infers a mild selling pressure in the market. Notably, the money is flowing out of the asset.

Notcoin’s daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) value of 47.60 is neutral, leaning slightly toward the bearish side. Furthermore, the Bull Bear Power (BBP) reading of the asset found at -0.000113 is extremely close to zero, which suggests that the buyers and sellers are evenly matched, with no strong directional pressure present.

Notcoin 24H Technicals Notcoin (NOT) ranks 386th on CoinMarketCap in terms of its market capitalization. The overview of the Notcoin price prediction for 2025 is explained below with a daily time frame.

NOT/USDT Descending Channel Pattern (Source: TradingView) In the above chart, Notcoin (NOT) laid out a Descending Channel. A descending channel, also known as a falling channel, is a bearish technical analysis pattern formed by two parallel downward-sloping trendlines. The upper trendline connects a series of high points, indicating resistance where the price struggles to rise above, while the lower trendline connects the lower points, acting as support. 

This pattern suggests that sellers are in control, with the price consistently making lower highs and lower lows.

Notcoin (NOT) at a Crossroads: Will the Price Rebound or Extend the Downside Risk?

Notcoin [NOT], the Telegram-linked cryptocurrency, has emerged as one of the top gainers across the crypto market over the past day.

The altcoin was up 25% on the 13th of June and appears to be drawing in weekend liquidity that is pushing its price higher. Sentiment looks strong, but what exactly does the data reveal about whether the move can hold?

AMBCrypto breaks down the factors behind the rally.

Are traders betting against Notcoin? Perpetual market data showed a heavy inflow of capital shaping Notcoin’s short-term outlook.

Open Interest, which tracks capital committed to perpetual contracts, surged sharply. Positions on Binance and Bybit reached $3.1 million each, while total marketwide Open Interest climbed to $7.8 million.

Roughly 90% of that capital arrived in the past 24 hours. However, traders did not direct it toward the long side. Instead, they increased bearish exposure and positioned for a move lower.

Source: Coinalyze The Funding Rate reinforced that stance, turning sharply negative to -0.1221% over the past day. As traders continued building short exposure, the reading suggested selling pressure was intensifying.

Why is Notcoin rising anyway? Notcoin’s price climbed despite that bearish positioning, with the data pointing to a recent surge in retail interest.

Google Trends data showed a sharp rise in global search activity for Notcoin. Interest climbed to a reading of 35, signalling growing attention around the asset.

A fractal also appeared to be forming. The highlighted sections on the chart showed search interest ranging before previous upside moves.

Source: Google Trends That pattern produced a 92% jump in search interest between the 4th and 7th of May. The past two days alone delivered a further 31% increase between the 12th and 13th of June.

Can NOT’s rally continue? The bulls remained active, and rising Google search interest aligned with a similar consolidation phase before previous breakouts.

What strengthened the bullish case was Notcoin’s move above a key supply zone. A strong bullish candle also remained in formation.

Source: TradingView The Accumulation/Distribution Indicator climbed alongside price, signalling that buyers continued accumulating NOT token rather than distributing it. That added support to the bullish outlook.

Final Summary Notcoin gained 25% as rising retail interest helped offset growing bearish positioning in derivatives markets. Open Interest surged to $7.8 million, with most new capital entering during the previous 24 hours.

Crypto platform Blockchain.com has added 173 tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds through a partnership with Ondo Finance, bringing its catalog of tokenized traditional assets to more than 430 offerings across Ethereum, Solana and BNB Chain.

According to an announcement on Wednesday, the new listings include tokenized exposure to private company shares, active exchange-traded funds, Treasury products and covered-call strategies, with Blockchain.com highlighting SpaceX's SPCX token among the additions.

The expansion also adds themed baskets tied to AI infrastructure, energy, robotics, autonomous vehicles and quantum computing, alongside income-focused products from Global X and other issuers.

A recent proposal by the US Securities and Exchange Commission to scrap two rules in its national market system regulations has been described by Galaxy head of research Alex Thorn as “one of the biggest unlocks yet for tokenized stocks” as it would remove “one of the biggest structural barriers to tokenized US equities trading in DeFi.”

Blockchain.com said the assets are available immediately through Ondo's routing and liquidity infrastructure, which supports trading across all 173 new listings at launch.

Ondo is one of the largest tokenization platforms by asset value, with roughly $3.8 billion in distributed assets across 267 tokenized products, according to RWA.xyz data.

The launch comes a week after Blockchain.com introduced a SpaceX-linked perpetual contract for institutional clients, expanding its push into tokenized and traditional financial markets.

Onchain stocks building momentumThe tokenized equities market has grown rapidly this year. RWA.xyz data shows tokenized equities hold roughly $1.57 billion in distributed value, up nearly fivefold from about $330 million a year ago.

The market includes tokenized shares of public companies, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and private firms. Among the largest tokenized equity assets by value are Strategy, Circle, Nvidia and Exodus shares.

Competition has been intensifing as crypto exchanges and wallet providers race to offer onchain access to traditional financial assets. Earlier this month, Exodus launched a marketplace for more than 200 tokenized stocks, ETFs and other real-world assets through a separate partnership with Ondo Finance.

Several crypto platforms also introduced products tied to SpaceX's IPO, ranging from tokenized IPO access and pre-IPO contracts to perpetual futures linked to the company's shares. Binance said its SpaceX tokenized IPO offering attracted more than $557 million in USDC deposits from users seeking exposure to the listing.

However, the SpaceX IPO also highlighted some of the sector's challenges. Several exchanges, including Binance, Bybit, Bitget Wallet and MEXC, were forced to cancel tokenized SpaceX offerings and issue refunds after failing to secure share allocations. Many of those products relied on Kraken-owned xStocks for distribution and settlement infrastructure.

The IPO was reportedly nearly four times oversubscribed, attracting more than $250 billion in investor demand for a $75 billion offering, according to Reuters.

Ondo Finance has made its largest single asset expansion to date, adding 173 tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds to its Ondo Global Markets platform. The move pushes the platform's total catalog beyond 430 assets across Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain.

What's New in the Expansion The largest asset addition to date broadens $ONDO's coverage across artificial intelligence, robotics, quantum computing, defense technology, and other sectors attracting heavy public-market demand. The new listings also include tokenized exposure to private company shares, active ETFs, Treasury products, and covered-call strategies, with SpaceX's SPCX token highlighted among the additions.

Ondo Global Markets brings traditional public securities onchain, with tokens that are freely transferable and usable in DeFi. The tokens are custody-backed, with underlying securities held at US-registered broker-dealers, while onchain holders receive economic exposure rather than shareholder rights.

A Platform Built Across Multiple Chains Ondo Global Markets extends beyond Ethereum and BNB Chain, where it launched in late 2025, to now include Solana. The platform is described as the world's largest tokenized stock and ETF platform by total value locked. With its Solana deployment, Ondo Global Markets became the largest real-world asset issuer on the network by asset count, representing approximately 65% of all tokenized real-world assets currently live on Solana.

Ondo Finance plans to expand from tokenized stocks and Treasuries into managed onchain investment portfolios, as tokenized assets surpass $30 billion in value and draw interest from major financial institutions. For non-US investors, the platform offers a direct route into US equity markets without a traditional brokerage account, with institutional-grade custody and access to deep traditional market liquidity.

JPMorgan, Mastercard, and Ondo settled a tokenized US Treasury on the XRP Ledger in May, in a legal gray zone where no statute defines on-chain settlement. The technology is years ahead of the law. The CLARITY Act is the bill that would let the rest of Wall Street follow.

Summary

XRP’s settlement thesis is already being tested by major financial institutions. The bottleneck is legal certainty, not whether the technology works. RLUSD gives the XRP ecosystem a credible on-chain dollar leg for settlement. The long-term case depends on whether CLARITY lets pilots become scaled infrastructure. In May 2026, JPMorgan, Mastercard, and Ondo Finance completed a tokenized US Treasury settlement on the XRP Ledger. Read that again, because the names matter: the largest bank in the United States, the largest payment network in the world, and a leading tokenization firm settled a real US government security on the blockchain associated with XRP.

NEW: JPMorgan, Mastercard, Ondo Finance and Ripple complete tokenized Treasury redemption test on XRP Ledger. Settlement took roughly 5 seconds compared to 3 to 5 business days on traditional rails pic.twitter.com/9Rkd3MkWF4

— crypto.news (@cryptodotnews) June 12, 2026 The transaction worked. The technology did what it was supposed to do. And it happened in a legal gray area, because no US statute defines the rules for settling tokenized real-world assets on a public blockchain.

The plumbing is already running. The law has not caught up.

This is the disconnect at the heart of one of crypto’s most consequential stories. The XRP Ledger already hosts more than $3.5 billion in tokenized real-world assets, and the institutions experimenting on it are not crypto startups but the pillars of traditional finance.

What is missing is not the technology, which works, or the institutional appetite, which is evident, but the legal certainty that would let this move from cautious pilots into the trillions of dollars of settlement that institutions handle every day. The CLARITY Act is the bill that would provide that certainty.

This piece explains what XRP is actually doing in institutional settlement today, why the law is the bottleneck and not the technology, how CLARITY would change the picture, and what it would mean to connect the world’s settlement infrastructure to the blockchain.

What XRP is actually doing in settlement Consider the reality on the ground, because the gap between what XRP is doing and what most people think it does is enormous.

XRP’s popular image is a speculative token that trades on regulatory headlines. The institutional reality is different.

The XRP Ledger is a blockchain designed for fast, cheap settlement of value, and it is being used, right now, by serious financial institutions to settle tokenized real-world assets. These are securities and instruments that exist in the traditional financial system but are represented on-chain as tokens.

The May 2026 settlement of a tokenized US Treasury by JPMorgan, Mastercard, and Ondo Finance is the flagship example, proof that a government bond can be settled on the XRP Ledger by the most trusted names in finance. And it is not isolated: the ledger hosts more than $3.5 billion in tokenized real-world assets, a figure that reflects genuine institutional usage, not retail speculation.

Why institutions are drawn to this is that settlement is one of the slowest, most expensive, and most antiquated parts of traditional finance. When securities change hands today, the actual settlement, the final transfer of ownership and cash, can take days, passing through layers of intermediaries, each adding cost, delay, and risk.

Tokenizing an asset and settling it on a blockchain collapses that process. The transfer can be near-instant, around the clock, with the ownership record and the settlement happening in the same place at the same time.

For an institution moving large volumes, that is not a marginal improvement; it is a structural upgrade to one of the most important and inefficient functions in finance. XRP’s ledger, built for exactly this kind of value transfer, is positioned as one of the rails on which that upgrade can run, which is why names like JPMorgan are testing it instead of dismissing it.

Why the law is the bottleneck Because the technology works and the institutions are interested, the thing holding back the trillions is not capability. It is legal certainty, and understanding why requires seeing settlement from an institution’s perspective.

When JPMorgan settles a tokenized Treasury on the XRP Ledger, it is operating in a space the law does not clearly govern. No US statute defines the rules for on-chain settlement of tokenized real-world assets: what legal status the on-chain record has, how it interacts with existing securities law, who bears responsibility if something goes wrong, and how the settlement is treated for regulatory and accounting purposes.

The May transaction worked technically, but it ran in a legal gray area, and that gray area is precisely the problem. A bank can run a careful pilot in a gray area.

It cannot move the core of its settlement operations, the trillions of dollars that flow through the system, into a space where the legal treatment is undefined, because the regulatory, legal, and fiduciary risk of doing so at scale is unacceptable. Institutions need to know the rules before they commit their main business, and right now the rules do not exist.

This is why the bottleneck is legal, not technical. Every institution that has piloted tokenized settlement on the XRP Ledger has proven the technology, and every one of them has stopped short of scaling it, because scaling means betting core operations on a legal framework that has not been written.

The gap between a $3.5 billion pilot environment and the trillions that could eventually settle on-chain is almost entirely a gap of legal certainty. The institutions are standing at the edge of the pool, the water is fine, and they are waiting for someone to confirm it is legal to dive in.

Until a statute defines on-chain settlement, the pilots stay pilots, impressive proofs of concept that cannot become the backbone they are capable of being.

How CLARITY changes the picture This is where the CLARITY Act enters, because it is the bill that would write the rules the institutions are waiting for, and its significance for XRP runs deeper than the price discussions that usually surround it.

The CLARITY Act, which passed the House and cleared the Senate Banking Committee, would set up a federal framework for digital assets, including the statutory basis for how tokenized assets and on-chain settlement are treated under US law. Where today there is a gray area, CLARITY would provide a defined legal structure.

It would create clear rules for what on-chain settlement means, how it fits with existing law, and what institutions can and cannot do. That certainty is the missing ingredient.

With a statute in place, the institutions piloting tokenized settlement on the XRP Ledger would have the legal foundation to move from experiments toward scaled deployment. The regulatory and legal risk that currently caps them at pilot size would be resolved.

The bill does not build the technology, which already works. It removes the legal barrier that keeps the working technology confined to the lab, which is why a statute beats an agency classification.

What this could unlock is staggering. The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation, the backbone of US securities settlement, processes volumes measured in the quadrillions of dollars annually, and the broader infrastructure of clearing and settlement handles the entire flow of American securities markets.

If on-chain settlement gains a legal framework, that enormous flow gains a path toward blockchain rails. The XRP Ledger, already chosen by JPMorgan and Mastercard for pilots, is positioned as one of the venues where it could run.

That puts XRP inside the parallel tokenization race, where major institutions are testing which public and private rails can carry real securities at scale.

Ripple, the company most associated with XRP, has been building toward exactly this institutional future, including pursuing the kind of regulatory standing and infrastructure that would let it operate at the heart of the settlement system. CLARITY is the legal key that would turn the institutional interest already visible in the pilots into the scaled adoption the technology is built for.

The RLUSD piece and the broader infrastructure The settlement story does not stand alone; it sits inside a broader build-out of XRP-linked institutional infrastructure that makes the thesis more concrete.

Alongside the tokenized-asset settlement, Ripple’s dollar-backed stablecoin, RLUSD, has grown into a significant piece of payment infrastructure. It has reached roughly $1.7 billion in market capitalization and ranks among the largest stablecoins, live across more than 40 networks.

In June 2026, Mastercard added RLUSD to its around-the-clock on-chain settlement network alongside other major stablecoins, a meaningful integration that places an XRP-ecosystem asset inside the settlement plumbing of one of the world’s dominant payment networks. Stablecoins matter here because they are the cash leg of on-chain settlement.

When a tokenized Treasury changes hands, the payment side needs a stable, on-chain dollar, and RLUSD’s growth and its Mastercard integration give the XRP ecosystem a credible answer to that need. The asset side and the cash side of on-chain settlement are both being built around XRP-linked infrastructure.

RLUSD distribution is also widening beyond the institutional plumbing. The stablecoin is now live on Gate, with XRP and RLUSD spot trading pairs available, adding another liquidity venue for the ecosystem.

Taken together, the picture is of an ecosystem positioning itself as institutional settlement infrastructure across multiple dimensions: the XRP Ledger for settling tokenized assets, RLUSD for the on-chain dollar leg, and Ripple pursuing the regulatory standing to operate inside the existing clearing system.

None of these pieces is speculative in the way the token’s price action is; they are concrete integrations with named institutions. What unites them is that they are all, to varying degrees, waiting on the same thing the tokenized-Treasury settlement is waiting on: a legal framework that lets institutional on-chain settlement scale.

The infrastructure is being assembled ahead of the law, in anticipation of it, which is what makes the legislative question so central to the whole thesis.

Why this matters more than the price Most XRP conversation is about price and ETFs and short-term catalysts, but the settlement story is the one that matters for the long-term thesis, and it deserves to be separated from the noise.

If XRP becomes a meaningful rail for institutional settlement, its value would come from utility, from being truly useful infrastructure that institutions rely on to move trillions of dollars, instead of from speculation about the next regulatory headline. That is a fundamentally different and more durable basis for value than trading sentiment.

The tokenized-Treasury settlement, the $3.5 billion in real-world assets on the ledger, and the RLUSD integration with Mastercard are evidence that the utility case is not hypothetical but already in motion. It is constrained only by the legal certainty that CLARITY would provide.

An investor focused only on XRP’s price chart is watching the wrong variable. The variable that matters for the long-term thesis is whether this institutional settlement infrastructure scales, and that depends on the law.

That is separate from the price side of the same CLARITY catalyst, where ETF flows and classification certainty can move the token before the settlement thesis fully matures.

The caveat worth stating is that the legal certainty is not guaranteed and the timeline is uncertain. CLARITY has advanced but not passed, and its fate is truly contested, which means the catalyst that would unlock scaled settlement could arrive soon, could be delayed for years, or could fail.

That is the legislative risk to the thesis. The institutional infrastructure being built around XRP is real, but its payoff is gated by a legislative process that nobody controls, and an investor counting on the settlement thesis is, in part, betting on a bill.

That is the central uncertainty: the technology works, the institutions are interested, the infrastructure is being built, and all of it waits on a law that has not yet been written. The settlement story is the strongest long-term case for XRP, and it is also a case that depends on a variable outside the technology’s control.

What it means for investors For anyone weighing XRP, the settlement thesis reframes what the asset actually is and what to watch.

XRP is not only a token that trades on regulatory headlines. It is the native asset of a ledger that the largest institutions in finance are already using to settle tokenized real-world assets, with a stablecoin and a regulatory build-out positioning the ecosystem as institutional settlement infrastructure.

The investor who understands this watches different signals than the trader fixated on price: the growth of tokenized assets on the ledger, new institutional pilots and integrations, the progress of RLUSD, and above all the legislative path of CLARITY. That law is the gate between the current pilot phase and scaled adoption.

The settlement story is the reason to take XRP seriously as a long-term infrastructure bet, not only a speculative token. It also fits the long-term outlook for XRP, where adoption, regulation, RLUSD, and tokenized assets all matter more than a single chart setup.

Holding the realism alongside the thesis matters. The infrastructure is real and already in use, which is strongly bullish for the long-term case, but the scaling depends on legal certainty that has not arrived and may be delayed.

The token’s price in the meantime will keep trading on the same sentiment and macro forces that move all of crypto, disconnected from the slow institutional build-out underneath. An investor should separate the durable thesis, XRP as settlement infrastructure, from the short-term price action, and recognize that the thesis pays off only if the law catches up to the technology.

None of this is investment advice; it is a frame for seeing what XRP is actually doing beneath the price.

The technology is ready. The law is the question. One fact about XRP in 2026 outranks the rest, and it is the one that gets the least attention: the largest institutions in finance are already settling tokenized US Treasuries on its ledger, the technology works, and more than $3.5 billion in real-world assets are already on-chain.

The plumbing for the future of settlement is not a someday promise. It is running now, in pilots, with names like JPMorgan and Mastercard.

What holds it back is not capability but law. The May settlement happened in a legal gray area because no statute defines on-chain settlement, and that gray area is the wall between cautious pilots and the trillions of dollars that institutions could eventually move on these rails.

The CLARITY Act is the bill that would take down that wall, providing the legal framework that lets working technology become scaled infrastructure. The technology is ready.

The institutions are interested. The infrastructure is being built.

The only thing standing between XRP and a role at the center of institutional settlement is a law that has not yet been written, and that, far more than any price target, is the question that will decide whether XRP becomes the settlement rail it is already being tested as. The plumbing is laid. The law just has to catch up.

Frequently asked questions Is XRP really being used to settle US Treasuries? Yes. In May 2026, JPMorgan, Mastercard, and Ondo Finance completed a tokenized US Treasury settlement on the XRP Ledger. The XRP Ledger also hosts more than $3.5 billion in tokenized real-world assets. These are genuine institutional uses of the ledger for settling tokenized securities, not retail speculation, though they currently operate as pilots rather than scaled deployments because the legal framework for on-chain settlement is not yet defined.

Why is the law the bottleneck rather than the technology? The technology already works, as the May Treasury settlement showed, but no US statute defines the rules for settling tokenized real-world assets on a public blockchain. That leaves the legal status, responsibility, and regulatory treatment undefined. Institutions can run careful pilots in this gray area but cannot move core settlement operations, worth trillions, into a space where the legal treatment is unclear. The bottleneck is legal certainty, not capability.

How would the CLARITY Act change things for XRP? The CLARITY Act would set up a federal framework for digital assets, including the statutory basis for how tokenized assets and on-chain settlement are treated under US law. That would replace today’s legal gray area with defined rules, giving institutions the legal foundation to move tokenized settlement from pilots toward scaled deployment. It does not build technology, which already works, but removes the legal barrier confining it to experiments.

What is RLUSD and how does it fit in? RLUSD is Ripple’s dollar-backed stablecoin, which has grown to roughly $1.7 billion in market capitalization and is live across more than 40 networks. In June 2026, Mastercard added it to its around-the-clock on-chain settlement network. RLUSD matters because stablecoins are the cash leg of on-chain settlement. When a tokenized asset changes hands, the payment side needs a stable on-chain dollar, and RLUSD gives the XRP ecosystem an answer to that need.

Why does the settlement story matter more than XRP’s price? If XRP becomes a meaningful rail for institutional settlement, its value would derive from genuine utility, being infrastructure institutions rely on to move trillions, instead of from speculation on regulatory headlines. That would be a more durable basis for value. The tokenized-Treasury settlement, the assets on the ledger, and the RLUSD integration show the utility case is already in motion, constrained only by the legal certainty CLARITY would provide. The settlement thesis is the long-term case; the price is short-term noise by comparison.

What is the main risk to the XRP settlement thesis? The legal certainty is not guaranteed and the timeline is uncertain. The CLARITY Act has advanced but not passed, and its fate is truly contested, so the catalyst that would unlock scaled settlement could arrive soon, be delayed for years, or fail. The institutional infrastructure around XRP is real, but its payoff is gated by a legislative process nobody controls. The technology works and institutions are interested, but the thesis depends on a law that has not yet been written.

Data from rwa.xyz shows that stablecoin transfer activity on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) has reached $5.11 billion over the past 30 days.

Notably, this represents a 22.84% increase compared to the previous month. The rise points to stronger on-chain liquidity and also suggests growing use of tokenized cash-like assets across the XRPL ecosystem.

Ondo Fund Becomes Second-Largest Tokenized Asset on XRPL The same dataset indicates that the Ondo Short-Term U.S. Government Bond Fund is now the second-largest tokenized fund on XRPL.

It is only behind RLUSD-related flows in size and activity. The fund recorded about $259.6 million in transfers during the period, signaling rising institutional interest in on-chain tokenized U.S. Treasury exposure.

XRPL Shows $3.66B in Off-Chain RWA Pipeline Meanwhile, additional data from rwa.xyz reveals that XRP Ledger currently has about $3.66 billion in real-world assets represented off-chain. For comparison, Stellar holds around $79.35 million in similar represented value.

This suggests that XRPL has secured significant institutional commitments in recent months.

Some supporters believe this off-chain pipeline could begin moving on-chain more rapidly as XRPL infrastructure improves. Key upgrades often cited include:

XRPL Leads RWA Tokenization With $1.9B Inflows XRPL’s growing momentum is further strengthened by recent data showing that it recorded the highest net RWA inflows across major blockchains over the past 90 days.

Data from the RWA Foundation confirmed that XRPL attracted $1.9 billion in net RWA inflows (excluding stablecoins), ahead of Ethereum’s $1.6 billion and Stellar’s $1.4 billion.

Moreover, Messari’s Q1 2026 report shows XRPL’s RWA market cap surged 124.1% quarter-over-quarter to $2.25 billion, ranking it seventh globally at the time before rising to fourth. Distributed RWAs on XRPL also climbed to $451.1 million, up 35.6% quarter-over-quarter.

Evernorth data shows XRPL scaled from $10 million to $400 million in tokenized RWAs in ~15 months, compared to ~36 months for Ethereum. Year-to-date growth also favors XRPL, up 78% versus Ethereum’s 36%.

Overall, inflows and adoption trends suggest XRP Ledger is becoming one of the fastest-growing hubs for tokenized real-world assets.
