Japan’s Financial Giant SBI Launches On-Chain Bonds with Built-In XRP

Posted on February 22, 2026February 23, 2026 by Olumide Adesina

SBI Holdings has introduced on-chain bonds that give holders an equivalent amount of XRP.

The initiative, which SBI describes as the first-ever on-chain Security Token (ST) bond issuance, was announced yesterday.

Through the offering, Japanese individual investors can buy blockchain-based bonds that, upon subscription, automatically release an equivalent amount of XRP. Investors can access the asset through a regulated bond framework that successfully connects traditional fixed-income products with XRP exposure.

SBI Holdings announced plans to issue its first Series ST Bonds worth JPY 10 billion ($64.52 million). Instead of using Japan’s traditional securities settlement systems, the company will issue, manage, and settle the bonds entirely on the blockchain. The bonds were created especially for retail investors.

Bonds will be traded by investors on the Osaka Digital Exchange’s proprietary START trading system in the interim, and secondary market trading is set to start on March 25, 2026.

Interestingly, the issuance has an integrated XRP reward system. Soon after payment confirmation, bondholders will receive XRP tokens equal to the subscription amount. Eligible investors must, however, have an account with SBI VC Trade and finish the necessary steps by May.

XRP Surges to Multi-Week Peak as Ripple ETF Interest Lags

Posted on February 17, 2026 by Olumide Adesina

XRP reached a multi-week high of just over $1.5 earlier today, as bulls’ offensive over the last 48 hours.

However, XRP was turned down there once more, and it is currently trading at about $1.48. XRP’s market capitalization is still above $90 billion even after the retracement, putting it ahead of BNB in the fourth place.

The price of the underlying asset experienced significant volatility, particularly over the weekend, despite the lack of interest in the ETFs.

The token bounced back after plunging to $1.11 last week, but it was rejected at $1.55 and has been hovering around $1.40 for the majority of the last few days.

Canary Capital’s XRPC set a record for debut-day trading volume in 2025 and continues to lead the market even after the introduction of four more funds. It currently has over $410 million in total net inflows, with Bitwise’s XRP ($360 million) and Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ ($328 million) coming in second and third, respectively.

The products swiftly passed the $1 billion milestone and went more than a month without any negative net flows.

The green streak ended on January 7, though, and the following days were even worse: January 20 and, worst of all, January 29. However, with total net inflows stabilizing above $1.20 billion, the majority of full trading weeks have been positive. However, despite three days in the green, the previous week showed little interest.

The net inflows were $6.31 million on Monday, $3.26 million on Tuesday, and $4.05 million on Friday.

Goldman Sachs Drops $153M on XRP: Wall Street’s Big Bet on Ripple

Posted on February 16, 2026 by Olumide Adesina

Goldman Sachs revealed substantial exposure to cryptocurrency, disclosing holdings of over $2.36 billion in digital assets in its Q4 2025 13F filing. According to the filing, $11 billion of its reported investment portfolio is in Bitcoin, $10 billion in Ethereum, $153 million in XRP, and $108 million in Solana.

The disclosure puts Goldman among the largest US banks most exposed to crypto-linked assets, worth a small portion of total holdings. A closer examination of the document reveals that Goldman’s exposure to XRP is primarily through XRP exchange-traded funds, which are worth about $152 million.

The total net assets of US Spot XRP ETFs are currently over $1.04 billion. After 56 days of trading, there have only been 4 days of outflows from XRP ETFs. One of the most significant investment banks in the world, Goldman Sachs counsels governments and businesses on capital markets, mergers, and restructuring.

Ethereum Breaks Back Above $2,000 – Whale Indecision Clouds the Rally

Posted on February 15, 2026 by Olumide Adesina

Ethereum is still under pressure following a recent drop that stopped the recovery’s momentum. ETH is not showing any signs of long-term growth, although it has recovered the $2,000 mark and is currently trading at $2,085.

Ethereum faces not only resistance levels but also indecision among key holders. In any cryptocurrency market, two of the most significant cohorts are whales and long-term holders. In Ethereum’s case, both groups are sending mixed signals.

Prolonged sideways price action results from this misalignment. Between February 9 and February 12, addresses with between 100,000 and 1 million ETH sold about 1.3 million ETH.

The value of that sale is approximately $2.07 billion. Nevertheless, within the next 48 hours, the same group bought 1.25% of ETH.

Long-term holders had been steadily accumulating ETH since late December 2025.

That trend shifted at the beginning of February. They started a modest distribution and reduced their purchasing activity.

Although the selling pressure hasn’t been very strong, it suggests that investors’ confidence is growing. Bullish momentum remains limited by cautious long-term holders and mixed whale activity.

Ethereum may struggle to rise above key resistance levels without consistent accumulation from these groups. The currency has successfully surpassed the $2,000 mark and is now trading at $2,087. The next major resistance level is $2,241. For the market to advance to that point, dominant holder groups need to have a clearly bullish outlook. The most probable scenario remains consolidation.

Ripple’s RLUSD Ignites on Binance via XRPL – Timing Perfect as DC Closes In on Crypto Clarity

Posted on February 15, 2026 by Olumide Adesina

Binance has finished integrating the XRP Ledger (XRPL) for RLUSD. RLUSD deposits are now active, and trading on certain pairs—such as RLUSD/USDT and RLUSD/XRP—carries no fees. The total market capitalization of the RLUSD has surpassed approximately $1.52 billion.

A significant split for a stablecoin that many traders still primarily associate with the EVM ecosystem is that roughly $1.2 billion of that supply is on Ethereum, while 22% is currently on XRPL.

Binance’s integration essentially validates XRPL as a first-tier venue for stablecoin settlement, according to the analyst, who frames this as part of Ripple’s larger push to make RLUSD a cross-chain liquidity tool. Although cautious, the regulatory side is noticeably more upbeat than it has been in recent years.

The host characterized the Clarity Act as a significant legislative effort to define the structure of the cryptocurrency market rather than leaving it up to regulators, and Democratic Senator Mark Warner has indicated support for its advancement.

According to Paul Atkins, a former SEC official, “crypto policy rules require legislation to be permanent.” This is why the analyst cautions against “compromising too much,” especially when it comes to stablecoin yield. Meanwhile, Tim Scott, the chair of the Senate Banking Committee, criticized the previous administration’s “regulation by enforcement,” claiming that it confused the sector.
