Mastercard + Ripple Just Did It: Tokenized Treasuries Settled on XRP in Seconds

Posted on by Olumide Adesina

Morgan, Mastercard, Ripple, and Ondo Finance have successfully finished a pilot that allowed the repurchase of tokenized US Treasury bonds between banks and across borders in almost real time.

The operation depended on Ripple purchasing Ondo Short-Term US Government Treasuries (OUSG) tokens on the XRP Ledger via JPMorgan’s Kinexys platform and Mastercard’s Multi-Token Network, which then sent the funds to Ripple’s Singaporean bank account.

Ondo Finance processed Ripple’s acquisition of OUSG on the XRP Ledger, a public blockchain.

The settlement instructions were sent to JPMorgan’s blockchain division Kinexys via Mastercard’s Multi-Token Network. JPMorgan subsequently transferred the matching dollars to Ripple’s Singaporean bank account.

The dollar portion was not fully on-chain; instead, it moved through the conventional banking system. This hybrid model keeps fiat currency flows within controlled channels while enabling institutions to take advantage of blockchain infrastructure.

Tokenized assets have been settled across borders and banks, outside of regular banking hours, according to the four companies that did this test. Having joined the XRP Ledger earlier in this cycle to increase institutional access, OUSG is one of the biggest tokenized Treasury products.

“This pilot is a significant step in creating an institutional framework for tokenized asset markets. Chief commercial officer Zack Chestnut of Kinexys by JP Morgan stated in a statement. According to RWA, the total value of tokenized US Treasury bonds is now close to $15 billion. xyz. Although this sum is still tiny in comparison to the $30 trillion Treasury bond market, it has increased dramatically since 2024 due to banks.

Ethereum Surges as BitMine Grabs 5.18 Million ETH

Posted on by Olumide Adesina

ETH  increased by 15% in the past month, and top Ethereum treasury company BitMine Immersion Technologies recently announced its third consecutive weekly purchase of over 100,000 ETH, extending its buying streak.

The former being the company’s largest haul to date in 2026, following weekly purchases of 101,901 ETH and 101,627 ETH—BitMine bought 101,745 ETH over the past week.

Ethereum’s most recent weekly purchase is worth more than $240 million at its current trading price of $2,365.

The publicly traded company currently has a stash valued at $12.2 billion, having amassed over 5.18 million in total. In addition, the company has $700 million in cash on hand and 200 Bitcoin worth about $16 million.

BitMine (BMNR) shares are currently trading at $22.91, up more than 4% for the day. Although shares have dropped more than 15% since the beginning of the year, they have increased by almost 18% in the last month.

10,000 ETH bought directly from the Ethereum Foundation during an over-the-counter sale that was announced on Friday at an average price of $2,292 per coin are included in the weekly purchase total. The Ethereum backer’s operations, community grants, and other initiatives were funded by the sales,  the second consecutive weekly purchase of 10,000 ETH from the Foundation.

BitMine Chairman Tom Lee said, “We believe that the Crypto Spring has begun, and similar to previous cycles, investor sentiment and conviction are muted and bearish even as crypto prices strengthen.”

We think the CLARITY Act’s possible passage—or even failure—confirms the arrival of the crypto spring. Regarding the future catalysts for cryptocurrency profits, Ethereum continues to profit from the dual advantages of Wall Street tokenization on the blockchain and the growing demand for public and neutral blockchains from agentic AI systems

Coinbase (COIN) Jump After 14% Workforce Reduction

Posted on by Olumide Adesina

Coinbase stock rallied north after plans to reduce its workforce by about 14%.  Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated that the company intends to reduce layers of management and focus the remaining employees on AI skills. According to him, some teams in this new structure might have one member, combining the duties of product managers, engineers, and designers into a single position.

Coinbase Q1 earnings highlight the day

He wrote, “Two forces are converging at the same time.” We must be proactive. According to a filing from the New York-based company, “about 700 employees will be affected by the changes, with cuts expected to happen mostly in the second quarter.” It anticipates that the changes will result in restructuring costs of up to $60 million.

Coinbase’s action is the most recent in a series of layoffs in the payments and cryptocurrency industries as companies scramble to cut expenses as market demand falls. Businesses such as Block Inc., Gemini Space Station Inc., and Crypto.com reduced their employees worldwide earlier this year, citing that AI is transforming business operations.

Dan Dolev, an analyst at Mizuho Securities with a neutral recommendation on Coinbase’s stock, stated that “the crypto winter is probably the real reason for most of the cuts.” AI, for the most part, is likely an “easy excuse,” he added. After rising as much as 8% before the market opening on Tuesday, Coinbase shares were up 0.5% in early trading.

The exchange is scheduled to release its quarterly earnings. The company’s revenue fell 20% in the fourth quarter of last year following the registration of an unrealized loss to reduce the value of its cryptocurrency holdings.

Armstrong had previously said that Coinbase benefited from the cryptocurrency market volatility. With almost 5,000 full-time employees at the end of 2025, the exchange saw a quarterly headcount increase of 3% in departments like customer service and product development. “In general, I kind of enjoy these periods sometimes — when the market is down, ironically, just because it allows us to keep building,”

 

Ripple: XRP Breakout Watch: Escaping the Range Requires $1.5 Conquest

Posted on by Olumide Adesina

A bullish breakout from the current macro diamond compression structure on XRP could be confirmed by a break and a monthly close above $1.5.

This would invalidate the pattern’s lower boundary and indicate a shift from multi-year consolidation into expansion with the first mapped technical target at $2.20 based on measured structure.

XRP Eyes $5 Target Soon as Institutional Access Expands

Additionally, XRP is up 84.33 percent at $1.39, with a 24-hour trading volume of $2.15 billion.

Market behavior would change from low-volatility consolidation to higher-volatility expansion if this breakout is maintained. The pattern coincides with important cycle windows around April 2027 and April 2028, indicating that if expansion continues, momentum may cluster around these times.

XRP may transition from a phase of accumulation under compression to one of time-driven expansion, where cycle timing and structure start to control price behavior.

Evernorth, a Ripple-backed XRP treasury company, has appointed Robert Kaiden, CFO of the OpenAI Foundation, to its board. With hundreds of millions of XRP, the company hopes to raise $1 billion. Notably, two sets of yellow trendlines that tighten over time form the macro diamond pattern on XRP’s monthly chart, which is a non-random converging structure.

The price has fluctuated within this diamond since the 2021–2022 highs, and the range has gradually narrowed.

This compression lowers liquidity because there are fewer significant buy and sell orders at each level. Additionally, it encourages big players to create liquidity by discreetly building positions and sweeping stops without creating abrupt price spikes.

Latent buying and selling pressure accumulates, functioning as a coiled spring before a possible breakout.
