Robinhood has formed a multi-part partnership with Ripple to integrate the RLUSD stablecoin, the XRP Ledger, and Ripple’s institutional services across its global retail and institutional operations:
RLUSD Adoption & Settlement: RLUSD is now live on Robinhood Chain and Bitstamp (with main Robinhood app integration expected later this year). Robinhood will also use RLUSD on the XRP Ledger to handle institutional settlement for Bitstamp.
Global Treasury Management: Robinhood is adopting Ripple Treasury to manage its global cash and liquidity, forecasting, payments, risk management, and intercompany netting.
Expanded Trading & Financing (Ripple Prime): Building on existing lending, margin financing (across ~20 digital assets), and spot trading integrations on Bitstamp, Ripple Prime will add support for perpetual futures later this year.
Market Scale: The partnership brings Ripple's infrastructure to Robinhood's 28.6 million funded customers, leveraging an RLUSD market cap of over $2.4 billion within a broader $300+ billion stablecoin market.

☄️🌍 BREAKING SPACE WATCH: ASTEROID EXPECTED TO PASS INSIDE THE MOON'S ORBIT ON OCTOBER 31, 2026!
🌐 SpaceTracker.space
SpaceTracker Astronomy Desk | October 27, 2026
🔭 Earth's cosmic neighbourhood is entering an active observation period, with several known asteroids scheduled to make close approaches between October 28 and November 11.
One encounter stands out.
🚨 OCTOBER 31: ASTEROID 2025 UK9
According to published NASA/JPL-derived orbital predictions, asteroid 2025 UK9 is expected to pass approximately 314,648 km from Earth's centre, equivalent to just 0.82 lunar distances.
🌕 Average Earth–Moon separation: 384,400 km
☄️ Estimated asteroid size: approximately 4 metres
🚀 Relative velocity: approximately 7.8 km/s
🕒 Expected closest approach: October 31 at 02:35 UTC
This makes it the closest encounter identified in our selected two-week approach calendar.
Importantly, this is a predicted flyby, not an expected impact.
🔭 OCTOBER 28: TWO ASTEROIDS APPROACH EARTH
NASA's Asteroid Watch dashboard identifies two separate encounters:
☄️ 2018 GS1: Estimated diameter near 104 metres, passing approximately 4.24 million km from Earth.
☄️ 2026 UB1: Estimated diameter near 40 metres, passing approximately 3.67 million km away.
Both objects are expected to pass safely beyond the Moon's orbit.
🌌 THE NEXT TWO WEEKS
Additional encounters include:
🪨 October 29: 2022 UV21, approximately 5.65 million km
🪨 October 30: 2026 UD, approximately 4.47 million km
🌕 October 31: 2025 UK9, approximately 315,000 km
🪐 November 2: Zoozve, approximately 6.02 million km
☄️ November 3: 2021 VC4, approximately 2.29 million km
🔭 November 6: 2001 KF54, approximately 7.24 million km
🌍 November 10: 2015 VH65, approximately 3.73 million km
✨ November 11: 2023 VF3, approximately 3.24 million km
🧠 WHY SCIENTISTS ARE WATCHING
Asteroids are remnants of planetary formation, preserving material that can reveal important information about the early Solar System.
Every close encounter offers opportunities to refine orbital calculations, improve near-Earth object detection and understand how small bodies move through the gravitational environment of our planet.
The closest asteroid is not necessarily the largest, and an asteroid passing nearer than the Moon does not automatically represent a collision hazard.
NASA/JPL continuously updates close-approach predictions as new observations become available.
🎥 SpaceTracker's accompanying visualization features NASA's Eyes on Asteroids simulation, showing Earth, orbital pathways and selected near-Earth objects moving through the Solar System.
The next major date to watch: October 31, 2026.

🚨 U.S.–IRAN TENSIONS: 48-HOUR ULTIMATUM AND STRATEGIC AIRCRAFT ACTIVITY
Reports published October 27 say President Donald Trump warned Iran that it had 48 hours to reach a deal or reopen the Strait of Hormuz, threatening severe consequences if the deadline passed. The exact deadline hour in Eastern Time is at 2130.
✈️ Meanwhile, military aircraft are drawing attention. Tracking screenshots show a U.S. Air Force E-4B Nightwatch and a KC-135 tanker operating near Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska.
The E-4B is designed to serve as an airborne command center during a national emergency. The KC-135 provides aerial refueling. Their presence alone does not establish that a strike is imminent.
⚠️ What happens next?
Will diplomacy produce an agreement?
Will the U.S. escalate conventional military operations?
How might Iran respond if hostilities intensify?
Could the conflict expand across the Middle East?
A conventional or supersonic missile attack does not automatically trigger a nuclear response. Any decision to use nuclear weapons would be a separate and extraordinary decision.

French Rafales from the Forces Aériennes Stratégiques (Strategic Air Forces) launched from Saint-Dizier Air Base in northeastern France and flew a simulated nuclear strike mission over the Mediterranean. RAF Typhoons provided defensive counter-air escort. No nuclear weapons were carried or used. The exercise focused on interoperability, coordination of a strike package, and defensive operations around the Rafales.
French Armed Forces Minister Catherine Vautrin stated: “Having independent nuclear forces does not exclude coordination. Our nuclear cooperation with the United Kingdom keeps deepening: on Tuesday night, UK Typhoons participated for the very first time to a French nuclear exercise alongside Rafales. Through coordination, our nuclear forces demonstrate that they can contribute even more significantly to the overall security of the Alliance and to the peace and stability of the Euro Atlantic area.” UK Defence Secretary Wes Streeting called it a “new chapter” in the nuclear defence relationship and a signal that the two countries stand together on European security and credible deterrence.

Ripple and Coinbase have integrated the Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin across Coinbase Prime, Coinbase Exchange, and the Coinbase retail app, providing direct 1:1 USD conversions, multi-chain transfers across the XRP Ledger (XRPL), Base, and Ethereum, and upcoming collateral support on Coinbase Global Exchange.
Why This Partnership is Bullish for XRP & the XRP Ledger
Direct On-Chain Transaction Volume & XRP Burn
Coinbase enabled native RLUSD deposits and withdrawals directly on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). Because XRPL offers sub-cent fees and 3-to-5-second settlement compared to Ethereum Layer-1 gas costs, retail and institutional users moving RLUSD off-exchange have a strong incentive to route transfers via XRPL. Every RLUSD transfer, trustline creation, and decentralized exchange (DEX) swap on the XRPL requires XRP as the native gas token, permanently burning XRP with every transaction and increasing baseline network utilization.
Deepening XRPL AMM & DEX Liquidity
A regulated, tier-1 fiat on/off-ramp directly onto the XRP Ledger via Coinbase removes friction for liquidity providers. Users can convert USD to RLUSD 1:1 on Coinbase and withdraw directly into XRPL's native Automated Market Makers (AMMs) and Central Limit Order Books (CLOB). Deeper XRP/RLUSD liquidity pools tighten spreads, reduce slippage for institutional traders, and make the XRPL more attractive for tokenized Real-World Assets (RWAs).
XRP + RLUSD Dual-Asset Payment Routing
Within Ripple’s institutional cross-border payment architecture, RLUSD and XRP act as complementary liquidity rails rather than competitors. While RLUSD provides stability for USD-denominated settlement and treasury operations, XRP serves as the high-velocity bridge asset for exotic currency pairs and on-demand liquidity routing where direct stablecoin corridors lack depth. Expanding RLUSD into Coinbase Prime's institutional custody and execution stack brings more enterprise capital directly onto XRPL rails.
Cross-Chain Arbitrage & Base Ecosystem Bridging
Supporting RLUSD simultaneously across XRPL, Coinbase’s Layer-2 Base, and Ethereum creates continuous cross-chain arbitrage and liquidity routing between Base’s DeFi protocols and XRPL’s native DEX. As RLUSD becomes eligible for margin and collateral on Coinbase Global Exchange, institutional market makers holding XRP and RLUSD gain seamless collateral mobility across both ecosystems.
