In case you missed it, Chainalysis has expanded support for the entire XRP Ledger ecosystem. That now means automatic token support for everything on the XRPL: IOUs, NFTs, multi‐purpose tokens, and more than ~260,000 tokens in total.

This expansion comes with several new capabilities. Institutions can now use Chainalysis KYT for real-time monitoring. They can also screen entities, track fund flows, and utilize visual investigation tools. This helps them operate confidently on the XRPL.

Chainalysis' KYT platform provides banks with real-time alerts on suspicious activity. This helps them screen entities and track transaction flows. They can also create visual maps of money movement. It removes a major compliance barrier that kept banks from participating.

Chainalysis now offers complete analytics for all token types on the XRP Ledger. This includes fungible tokens, NFTs, and multi-purpose assets. The idea that XRPL is only for payments is no longer accurate.

The infrastructure is solid. The XRPL has operated for 13 years, handling billions of transactions and creating over 90 million blocks. Now, nearly 200 validators help keep the network secure, resilient, and decentralized.

The XRP Ledger has strong features. Chainalysis shows it meets the standards for decentralization and ecosystem viability set by institutions with this integration. As a result, the XRPL has become even more appealing by offering proven technology and comprehensive compliance.

For XRP holders, this means real growth in utility. It shows institutional adoption and a strong, sustainable ecosystem. The tools are now in place. The XRP Ledger finally has all the components needed to bridge traditional finance and blockchain at scale.

The DTCC processes an astonishing $3.7 quadrillion in securities every year, largely behind the scenes. A recent patent points to a massive, long-term strategy: they appear to be laying the groundwork to tokenize this entire volume on blockchain systems, while still retaining their role.



Every day, the DTCC settles around $1.2 trillion in equity trades across over 130 countries and currently hold custody of roughly $87 trillion in assets.



The patent itself—titled Method for Confederated Rights and Hierarchical Key Management (patent US20250078065A1) introduces a framework capable of bringing every category of traditional financial asset onto blockchain rails.



The core of the system involves “root wallets,” which serve as primary holders of tokenized assets. These are linked to “sub-wallets” that can be assigned highly specific permissions. This creates a programmable control system, where access and rights can be granted, changed, or withdrawn in real-time.



George Dhoni, DTCC’s Chief Technology Officer for Digital Assets, is the lead inventor. His architecture supports multi-chain compatibility and includes a built-in system for dynamic rights management—meaning access isn’t static and can be revoked instantly if needed.



One of the more surprising parts? The patent directly references several existing blockchain networks as being compatible with the design: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Hedera, Binance Chain, Flow, Tron, Tezos, Cosmos, and XRP Ledger.

That inclusion strongly suggests DTCC has already conducted real-world tests across these chains and this system may have been in development for quite some time



The DTCC’s proposed architecture acts as a control layer—bridging traditional financial systems to blockchain while preserving institutional oversight.



Under this model, smart contracts handle rights and transactions on-chain with complete traceability. But the actual registries—the systems that determine who has control—remain under centralized, institutional authority.

This ultimately combines blockchain’s transparency and efficiency with the oversight, compliance, and policy enforcement that regulators still expect.



Hedera seems to have a significant role, in late 2024, DTCC and Hedera were among the founding participants in the Linux Foundation’s decentralized trust initiative—indicating alignment not just in theory, but in active collaboration.



Other founding members of that initiative include Ripple, R3, Mastercard, Deutsche Telekom, American Express, and more. To add to that, this should prove significant for #XRP and #XDC for settlement.



The DTCC has also entered into partnerships with infrastructure providers like Chainlink, further evidence that trusted data oracles and connectivity tools will serve as crucial components in this financial stack.



The potential scale here is difficult to overstate. We’re talking about the eventual tokenization of quadrillions of dollars in global assets. The architecture itself is built to work across public, private, and consortium networks alike.



The system incorporates quantum-resistant features and supports multi-chain asset movement without sacrificing regulatory compliance.



The DTCC has a long-standing reputation for building the infrastructure that underlies global finance. When they put something like this into motion, markets tend to adapt around it.



For crypto projects, this reinforces institutional alignment as a determining factor for long-term relevance. Not all chains or platforms will be able to participate equally.



Still, blockchains directly mentioned in the patent....Bitcoin, Ethereum, HBAR, XLM, XRP, and others may find themselves unusually well-positioned if capital begins flowing into tokenized markets at institutional scale.



Let's consider how big it is that this initative is being carried out by the DTCC itself, an institution that has served as the operator behind most of the global market’s daily activities for a very long time.

FINRA has proposed a rule that would push crypto back into the Dark Ages of the Biden and Gensler regime with financial advisors. Here's what it does and what you can do to help.



Under FINRA Regulatory Notice 25-05 and Proposed Rule 3290, any financial advisor who holds a FINRA license would be prohibited from personally investing in any crypto asset without first getting written approval from their broker/dealer. This requirement would also apply to the advisor’s spouse, partner, children and anyone else living in the household.



The rule is in a comment period until May 13.



Express your opposition by writing to:


Jennifer Piorko Mitchell, Office of the Corporate Secretary, FINRA, 1700 K Street, NW, Washington, DC 20006. Or submit a comment online here: www.finra.org/rules-guidance/notices/25-05



About half of the nation’s financial advisors personally own crypto. If this rule is enacted, upwards of a hundred thousand FAs will have to inform their B/Ds of their crypto holdings and seek written permission to keep them. If permission is not obtained, the FAs will be required to sell their crypto assets, transfer to another firm that permits their investments, or be terminated.



If this rule is enacted as-is, tens of thousands of Registered Reps will drop their FINRA licenses and switch to SEC jurisdiction as Registered Investment Advisors. By operating as an Investment Advisor Representative of an RIA, these reps will avoid FINRA’s antiquated posture, establish themselves as fiduciaries serving their clients’ best interests (which will enhance their stature in the eyes of their clients) and enable them to continue to personally own crypto. The FAs will be better off, their clients will be better off, the RIAs they join will be better off, and the losers will be FINRA and the B/Ds it oversees.



I urge you to write to FINRA and express your opposition to this rule – which FINRA calls “a Proposal to Reduce Unnecessary Burdens and Simplify Requirements Regarding Associated Persons’ Outside Activities.”

Let's put this one to bed. Please take a moment to submit your opposition to this change.
