Ripple is one of a handful of blockchain-focused companies to now hold an MPI license, per a release shared with CoinDesk.

The expanded scope will let the firm to roll out a larger suite of regulated payout, settlement and on/off-ramp services using its digital payment tokens, including RLUSD and XRP, without requiring customers to take on direct exposure or build bespoke infrastructure.

The firm's Payments product combines digital asset settlement with a global payout network, letting clients route funds, swap into tokens, and settle transactions through a single integration.

The Asia-Pacific remains Ripple’s fastest-growing region, with the firm citing a roughly 70% increase in on-chain activity year over year. Singapore, where Ripple established its APAC headquarters in 2017, has become a central node in that growth following several years of regulatory groundwork by MAS.

The regulator was among the earliest to introduce a clear licensing framework for digital assets, attracting a mix of traditional financial institutions, crypto-native companies and payments firms seeking regulatory certainty.

Ripple said the additional permissions will support further investment in Singapore and expand its ability to serve regional financial institutions as demand for regulated settlement rails continues to grow.

This U.S. politician’s suspicious stock trade just returned over 200% in weeks

The post This U.S. politician’s suspicious stock trade just returned over 200% in weeks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. United States Representative Cloe Fields has seen his stake in Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ: OPEN) stock return over 200% in just a matter of weeks. According to congressional trade filings, the lawmaker purchased a stake in the online real estate company on July 21, 2025, investing between $1,001 and $15,000.

OPEN’s stock rally Notably, Opendoor’s rally has been fueled by major corporate shifts and market speculation. For instance, in August, the company named former Shopify COO Kaz Nejatian as CEO, while co-founders Keith Rabois and Eric Wu rejoined the board, moves seen as a return to the company’s early innovative spirit.  Outgoing CEO Carrie Wheeler’s resignation and sale of millions in stock reinforced the sense of a new chapter. Beyond leadership changes, Opendoor’s surge has taken on meme-stock characteristics.
