Braza Group Launches USDB Stablecoin on XRP Ledger
Brazil’s Braza Group has introduced USDB, a new stablecoin operating on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). Backed by government bonds and subject to regular audits, USDB aims to provide stable, fast, and low-cost digital transactions. This follows Braza’s earlier release of the BBRL stablecoin on the same blockchain.

Ripple vs. SEC Ruling May Reshape Blockchain’s Role in Global Finance
A federal judge’s ruling in the SEC’s case against Ripple Labs has introduced unexpected clarity to cryptocurrency regulation. Judge Analisa Torres determined that programmatic sales of XRP did not constitute securities transactions, creating a potential roadmap for future token projects.
The decision exposes critical gaps in existing securities laws regarding blockchain-based assets. Legal analysts note this partial victory for Ripple could accelerate institutional adoption of tokenization technologies, particularly in cross-border payments and settlement systems.
XRP’s architecture demonstrates how blockchain can enable faster financial transactions without running afoul of securities regulations. The verdict comes as global financial institutions increasingly explore distributed ledger technology for Core banking operations.
First U.S. XRP Futures ETF Launches on Nasdaq
The inaugural U.S. exchange-traded fund tracking XRP futures commenced trading on Nasdaq Thursday, marking a milestone for cryptocurrency investment vehicles. Volatility Shares’ XRP ETF (XRPI) carries a 1.15% gross expense ratio, reduced to 0.94% after fee waivers, with at least 80% of assets allocated to XRP futures contracts and related exchange-traded products.
Market observers point to the $121 million in assets gathered by Teucrium’s XXRP—a similar product launched in April—as evidence of robust demand for XRP-linked investment tools. Volatility Shares plans to further capitalize on this trend with a Leveraged 2x XRP futures ETF in the pipeline.
Two MiCA-Compliant Stablecoins Launch on XRP Ledger Amid Regulatory Advancements

Both assets target cross-border transactions, emphasizing compliance in an increasingly scrutinized market.
Schuman Financial, a European stablecoin firm regulated by France’s ACPR, introduced EURØP as the first MiCA-compliant euro stablecoin on XRPL. The token is fully euro-backed, redeemable, and undergoes reserve audits by KPMG. This move aligns with broader industry trends toward regulated, institutional-grade digital assets.
