Crypto industry trade associations are meeting today with the Senate Banking Committee to review the legislative text of a compromise on stablecoin yield/rewards. Bank representatives follow tomorrow (March 24).

This is the direct result of a deal brokered last week between:

Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD)
The White House Crypto Council
The compromise unblocks the CLARITY Act (the Senate’s comprehensive digital asset market structure bill). It’s been stalled since January 2026 mainly over one issue: whether crypto platforms can pay customers yield or rewards on stablecoin holdings.

The Core Compromise (Still Under Wraps, But Here’s What We Know)
Banks have been fiercely opposed, arguing that stablecoin yield causes customer deposits to flee traditional banks and hurts lending. The expected language:

Likely bans passive/idle-balance yield (anything that “sounds like banking”).

May still allow activity-based rewards (subject to review).

Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) has already signaled: “Anything that sounds like banking product terminology will not appear.”

Crypto reps get their first look today; banks tomorrow. Reaction from both sides will shape the final text.

Why This Matters (Bigger Picture)
This was the last major roadblock to advancing the CLARITY Act.

Once cleared, the Senate Banking Committee is targeting a markup (amendments + vote) before the end of April (after Easter recess).

The bill would create clear federal rules on:

Digital commodities vs. securities
DeFi
Token classification

Tokenization
Stablecoin regulation (building on the already-passed GENIUS Act)
It’s bipartisan, has White House involvement, and Chairman Tim Scott (R-SC) has called it a priority to make America the “crypto capital of the world.”

ICE has helped totally CLEAR OUT the TSA lines at Southwest Florida Airport

"This morning, travelers experienced a wait time, but since I got here, the lines are moving SMOOTH."

"COMPLETELY empty!"

Radical activists are screaming at ICE agents during a detention of a woman who’s in the country illegally.

She had a young child with her and claimed it was her daughter, but couldn’t provide any documentation.

Situations like this are exactly why agents have to verify everything.

People underestimate how often children are brought across the border without clear proof of parentage or legal status and then go on to be trafficked.

THE BANK FOR INTERNATIONAL SETTLEMENTS (BIS) 🏦 HAS REVEALED THAT #XRP NOW RANKS AMONG THE TOP FIVE CRYPTO ASSETS BANKS REPORT EXPOSURE TO, MARKING A NOTABLE STEP INTO THE CORE OF INSTITUTIONAL FINANCE! 🙌🏼

Franklin Templeton’s tokenized funds (often referred to in this context as tokenized ETFs or money market funds) trade 24/7 directly in crypto wallets because the underlying shares are issued as blockchain tokens on the XRP Ledger (XRPL).

This is part of a partnership Franklin Templeton announced in September 2025 with Ripple and Singapore’s largest bank, DBS. The key product is sgBENJI — the tokenized version of Franklin Templeton’s U.S. dollar short-term money market fund (Franklin OnChain U.S. Dollar Short-Term Money Market Fund). These tokens are:

Issued directly on the XRP Ledger (a public, enterprise-grade blockchain).
Listed on DBS Digital Exchange (DDEx) alongside Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin.
Tradable 24/7/365 by accredited/institutional investors in crypto wallets that support XRPL.

Settle instantly with atomic, low-cost transactions (no traditional T+1 or T+2 clearing).

This setup lets investors swap stablecoins for tokenized fund shares in minutes, earn yield on “stable” assets during volatility, use the tokens as collateral for lending/repo trades, and move them peer-to-peer — all without leaving the blockchain.

Where Ripple and XRP fit into the equation
Ripple (the company): Ripple Labs is the fintech firm that originally developed the XRP Ledger and continues to drive its enterprise adoption. In this deal, Ripple provides the blockchain infrastructure (XRPL), its RLUSD USD stablecoin (used as the trading pair and liquidity layer), and the overall ecosystem for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). Ripple’s role is the bridge that lets a traditional $1.6T+ asset manager like Franklin Templeton bring regulated money-market fund shares “on-chain” in a compliant, scalable way. Franklin has explicitly highlighted XRPL as a “payments-first blockchain” that enables real-time, low-cost global settlement — exactly what makes 24/7 wallet trading possible.

XRP (the digital asset): XRP is the native cryptocurrency of the XRP Ledger. It is not the tokenized ETF itself (the fund shares are sgBENJI tokens), but it powers the entire network:

Pays tiny transaction fees (fractions of a cent).
Provides on-ledger liquidity for fast, cheap cross-border and on-chain transfers.

Enables the instant settlement and atomic swaps that make 24/7 trading in wallets seamless.

Acts as a neutral bridge asset in broader XRPL DeFi and payments use cases.
In short: XRPL + XRP = the rails that Franklin Templeton is using to tokenize its funds so they behave like native crypto assets (24/7, wallet-native, programmable). This is separate from (but complementary to) Franklin Templeton’s spot XRP ETF (ticker: XRPZ), which simply holds physical XRP for traditional stock-exchange investors.

Why this matters
Traditional ETFs/funds normally settle only during stock-market hours and require brokers/custodians. By tokenizing on XRPL, Franklin Templeton turns fund shares into borderless, instantly transferable digital assets — exactly the “real-world asset” (RWA) tokenization trend that Wall Street is racing toward. Ripple/XRP supply the proven, battle-tested public blockchain that already handles billions in daily volume with institutional-grade speed and cost efficiency.

This is one of the clearest examples yet of traditional finance (TradFi) and crypto infrastructure converging: Franklin brings the regulated money-market product, DBS brings the distribution to institutions, and Ripple + XRP Ledger bring the 24/7 blockchain rails that make it all work in your crypto wallet.

Oncologist Dr. Angus Dalgleish points out that the Pfizer mRNA injections "are all full of SV40".

"SV40 was what—in my day—we put into mice to make them grow tumours... and we're putting this into humans."

"These people behind Moderna and Pfizer are just pure, pure evil and they must be held to account."

British political strategist Thomas Corbett-Dillon caused an uproar recently by suggesting that indigenous Brits are the victims of "a genocide".

"There is an indigenous population that have lived on that island for thousands of years."

"It is being taken over by different people that are not indigenous to that land, and I think that's a sad thing to happen."

"If there was an island of indigenous people in the Pacific, and all of a sudden a bunch of white people moved there and were having babies, and the number one name in that country became Tom... the UN would be there saying this is outrageous."

"But do it to England and no one seems to care."
