XRP has once again come to the forefront after being cited as an example of a commodity in the guidance document published by the SEC and CFTC, while important statements have come from the CEO of Ripple Prime.

In an interview with Jake Claver of Digital Ascension Group, Ripple Prime CEO Mike Higgins stated that XRP could be used as institutional collateral.

Ripple Prime’s CEO stated that XRP is being used as collateral for institutional transactions. According to Higgins, institutions are now actively using XRP as collateral to access traditional financial markets.

This statement comes after community criticism that Ripple, following its acquisition of Hidden Road, was prioritizing its own native stablecoin RLUSD over XRP.

Higgins explained that Ripple Prime accepts XRP not only as a means of payment but also as collateral.

The CEO emphasized that “XRP plays a key role,” stating, “It supports institutions in borrowing funds and conducting transactions based on XRP held as collateral.”

At this point, Higgins added that institutional investors could provide liquidity without selling XRP, thus expanding XRP’s use cases.

Ripple announced it will add Hyperliquid (HYPE) to Ripple Prime, its primary brokerage platform for institutional investors.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
