Ripple Bets $25M on U.S. Education—Is RLUSD the Trojan Horse for Crypto Adoption?
Ripple’s throwing $25 million at American schools—because nothing launders a volatile crypto reputation like writing checks to kindergarteners. The move puts RLUSD, their dollar-pegged stablecoin, front and center.
Why it matters: This isn’t charity—it’s a masterclass in regulatory arbitrage. Every textbook bought with dirty fiat could become a case study in how to buy goodwill with pocket change.
The cynical take: Wall Street spends billions lobbying politicians directly. Ripple’s cutting out the middleman—indoctrinating future voters instead.
