Key Takeaways

  • Ripple locked in key EU and UK regulatory approvals, expanding its regulated footprint across Europe.
  • Institutional activity picked up with new brokerage support and large-scale real-world asset tokenization on XRPL.
  • RLUSD supply and liquidity continued to grow, with new mints, a Binance listing, and a planned Japan launch.
  • XRP price weakened despite ETF inflows, sliding toward the $1.50 support amid market-wide sell-offs.

At the start of the week, Ripple secured full approval for an Electronic Money Institution license from Luxembourg’s CSSF, giving the company the green light to offer regulated payment services across all 27 EU member states.

The approval builds on Ripple’s January milestone in the UK, where it obtained both an EMI license and cryptoasset registration from the FCA, allowing it to operate directly out of London’s financial district. Together, the EU and UK licenses significantly expand Ripple’s regulated footprint in two of the world’s most important financial hubs.

Institutional expansion and real-world tokenization

Ripple’s institutional arm also made moves this week. Ripple Prime announced support for Hyperliquid, opening the door for institutional clients to access on-chain derivatives liquidity within a single brokerage framework.

At the same time, Ripple partnered with Billiton Diamond and Ctrl Alt to tokenize more than $280 million worth of certified polished diamonds from the UAE on the XRPL. The initiative relies on Ripple’s enterprise custody infrastructure to track provenance and ownership history, although secondary market trading is still pending final regulatory clearance.

The deal highlights Ripple’s growing focus on real-world asset tokenization beyond traditional payments.

ETF Flows Reveal Institutional Rotation Beneath Crypto Market Weakness

Stablecoin growth, ETFs, and market pressure on XRP

On the stablecoin front, RLUSD’s circulating supply climbed to around $1.39 billion after a fresh mint aimed at meeting rising institutional demand for real-time settlement. Ripple is also working with SBI on plans to distribute RLUSD in Japan in early 2026, targeting enterprise use cases.

Liquidity received another boost in late January when Binance listed RLUSD against USDT and XRP.

Meanwhile, XRP-related exchange-traded funds have now attracted more than $1.37 billion in net inflows since their late-2025 launch, with issuers including Canary Capital, Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, Grayscale, and 21Shares. Despite the institutional momentum, XRP has been under pressure, testing a key support level around $1.50 after falling nearly 20% over the past week amid heavy liquidations and a broader market sell-off. Additionally Bank of America revealed a new filling showing exposure to XRP ETFs.

Conclusion

Looking ahead, Ripple is set to host XRP Community Day on February 11–12, with leadership including CEO Brad Garlinghouse expected to outline strategic priorities and discuss wrapped asset developments. The event comes at a moment when Ripple’s regulatory and enterprise progress is accelerating, even as short-term price action for XRP remains under strain.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
