THE UK JUST HANDED XRP A MASSIVE WIN! HOLDERS NEED TO SEE THIS

Added: 2026-05-19

[00:00:00]Ladies and gentlemen, the UK just did something absolutely insane. We just talked about how the UK flipped completely just the other day and now we just got an absolute XRP bombshell dropped from the Bank of England. And no, I'm not selling you guys anything.

[00:00:21]No, I'm not click baiting or anything like that. This is a massive move and I'm going to go ind depth on why it matters for both Ripple and also for XRP. So, if you hold XRP, you're going to want to stick around until the end of this video. No, no, yes, sure. Does it help the the channel? Does it help the video? If you, you know, watch until the end, 100%. But, like I said, there's a lot of information that I want to go over and I'm probably going to need the entire video to do so. But let's first start off with how proactive the UK has been on a lot of things crypto, specifically stable coins. So stable coins definitely are a big game changer for crypto. They make up almost 11% of the crypto market cap and the UK has now been pushing forward on stable coins.

[00:01:13]back in January is when this really started to see the light of day because that's when they started to really kind of take it very serious because obviously the US has been pushing forward, the EU has been pushing forward, you know, Japan, the UAE, I mean so many areas around the world have been pushing for stable coins and it's because of what it does for the underlying fiat currency and also how beneficial stable coins actually are.

[00:01:37]Also, stable coins have been growing tremendously fast. So, when we think about that, yeah, it's a no-brainer move. And that's exactly why Coinbase listed the first GBP stable coin as the UK push accelerates. That was back in April.

[00:01:54]And now we're starting to see the UK move even faster.

[00:01:59]And yes, Ripple is a part of this.

[00:02:04]Stable coins are the first major thing to really kind of get announced in some of these areas.

[00:02:10]If you see for an example like Japan launching a stable coin, which by the way they did, usually the next step is tokenization.

[00:02:24]That has been the sort of the pattern that we've noticed. Oh, Hong Kong launches a stable coin. Next up, real estate tokenization, stock tokenization, X, Y, and Z tokenization. That's exactly how it works. every single time. Why?

[00:02:42]Well, it's a very simple, you know, answer to that question. Stable coins generate liquidity. That liquidity allows for use cases like tokenization to be leveraged because the liquidity is there to, you know, be tapped into. So, you need liquidity first, then you can start to go after some of those other use cases. Also, you need custody.

[00:03:06]And that's where I do believe that Ripple is becoming a star player in some of these areas, even in Japan, but even in the UK. Now, we know that the FCA registration was basically just around payments in general. Um, but this was definitely a big move back in January where the FCA basically gave Ripple their um, you know, reg registration with its UK subsidiary to pretty much target payment use cases within the UK.

[00:03:34]This was a huge credibility boost for Ripple um especially in the UK which is awesome to see. The UK is one of the biggest financial giants in the world.

[00:03:45]So it makes a lot of sense that Ripple would become a big winner in that area.

[00:03:50]Now we've talked about this 90% of crypto firms do get denied. Ripple got that you know registration secured. On top of that Ripple has been working with the UK for a very long time.

[00:04:04]We'll get to that by the end of this video. But even back in 2025, they made it known that they were working with the UK to advance their crypto asset push.

[00:04:15]April 6, 2025, crypto assets are a global opportunity, and the UK has the chance to lead. At Ripple's UK policy summit last week, industry leaders explored how smart regulation, stable coins, and tokenization can fuel growth, innovation, and global competition.

[00:04:32]Within this, they basically break down exactly how the UK could lead. They are at a critical juncture for its digital asset industry with long-awaited roles for crypto assets and stable coins expected to be published in the coming months. With this in mind, Ripple convened a UK policy summit. So, Ripple, a blockchain based company, mind you, held a policy summit for the UK with industry partners to discuss how the UK can remain internationally competitive in this fast growing sector.

[00:05:00]This is because Ripple is a leader. Let it be known that Ripple is not just your typical blockchain based company. They are a major trend setter in this space.

[00:05:12]Ripple stated that the stable coin race was on back in November of 2022. Guess what ended up happening from November of 2022 to now. Stable coins have been booming. So when we think about this, yeah, the UK has a massive opportunity and Ripple being such a key leader in the UK, it makes a lot of sense for them to be tapped in, which is why when we look at the three key themes here, time is of the essence for the UK, which means they need to move fast, which is why they have been moving fast. Stable coins are critical to the growth of digital asset markets.

[00:05:48]Tokenization is likely to transform financial markets and digital asset policy makers need to be bold in supporting adoption.

[00:05:55]The UK finance has estimated that digital assets could represent as much as 10% of global capital markets by 2030, equivalent to the value of 4 to5 trillion.

[00:06:04]Well, in order for the UK government to lead in this, they need to remove those barriers and they really need to push forward on adoption. And of course, yeah, Ripple stated it the next steps for the UK. They also specifically mentioned XRP ledger grant programs and the university blockchain research initiative.

[00:06:24]So XRP and the XRP ledger being a spotlighted blockchain for the UK to tap into. But also Ripple has a significant footprint in the UK with a large regional office hub in London because they know how big the UK is in terms of payments and they've always been aware of that.

[00:06:45]But that's not where it ends.

[00:06:48]We also have at Ripple's UK policy summit earlier this year, which is the one that I mentioned in that article, one message was clear. The time to act is now. Recommendations for UK policy makers build a growth driven framework, lead on global standards, advance stablecoin adoption, and tackle tokenization barriers.

[00:07:06]And yes, within this they basically talk about the digital security sandbox which is ran by the FCA and the Bank of England and also the announcement of a pilot to issue a digital UK government bond known as Digit. Yes, there's definitely been a lot of great moves happening in the UK, but they need to move even faster and that's why Ripple did host that summit and the focus was what the UK can learn from regatory practices from other jurisdictions. the role of stable coins as a new form of money and how to position the UK as a leader in tokenization. The UK already started to push with stable coins. They took Ripple's advice and now we look at the next step which is tokenization and that's where we are at right now.

[00:07:53]What is the UK doing with tokenization?

[00:07:55]Well, they just announced an absolute bombshell. Why is it an XRP related bombshell though? because Ripple and XRP have been two key leaders in the UK.

[00:08:09]Yes, there's a lot of other great projects, Hideera, Stellar, things like that. It's a multi-chain future, but yes, it's great for Ripple and XRP because of the footprint that Ripple does have. But this is the announcement new. The Bank of England proposes extending its settlement infrastructure to near 24/7 operations alongside the FCA to prepare the UK wholesale markets for tokenized finance. Let me reward this for you all. The Bank of England is now proposing ex extending its settlement time frame from where it's at now to 247 operations because they want to tokenize all of the financial markets in the UK the same exact way that the US wants to do this. And that's why we are hearing Paul Atkins saying every single US market will be tokenized within the next two years.

[00:09:03]Every single one of these nations are going to move rapidly. It's happening now.

[00:09:10]FCA and Bank of England set out shared vision for tokenization in UK wholesale markets. Now, initially, yes, it's wholesale markets, but everything we know everything will be tokenized at some point in time. But UK financial firms can adopt tokenization and DT with greater confidence as the Financial Conduct Authority and the Bank of England set out a shared vision and seek industry views on the future of UK wholesale markets. Ripple just got approval from the FCA to offer payments specifically through Ripple Payments which also has exposure to XRP.

[00:09:44]Tokenization is now heating up in a large way. This is something that everyone needs to pay attention to. The FCA and also the bank have heard from industry that firms need more certainty on regulation and infrastructure as tokenization grows. I would argue that they probably heard from Ripple in a big way, which we'll also get to here in a moment. Now, the executive director of markets at the at the FCA said that tokenization has the potential to transform wholesale markets, reshaping how assets are issued, traded, and settled. We want to support firms in adopting this technology to lower cost, reduce risk, and unlock new services.

[00:10:23]And our partnership with the Bank of England will ensure to a common approach across all parts of wholesale markets.

[00:10:29]Today, we are setting out the principles of a shared long-term vision to give industry the clarity it needs to engage, invest, and innovate with confidence. UK markets have always embraced new technology, and that will be central to ensuring that the UK remains at the forefront of global wholesale markets.

[00:10:45]The bank and the FCA have done a huge amount to enable the responsible adoption of tokenization in retail and wholesale finance in the UK, working with the government and the industry.

[00:10:55]The task now is for public and private sectors together to build on these strong foundations moving from pilots to production to support financial stability and sustainable growth. Yeah, this is huge. And again, this is extending their real-time growth settlement system and chap settlement hours, setting out next steps towards near 247 settlement. The only way that they're going to do this, especially in terms of the weekend and extended daily operating hours, is by tapping in to new models. This will support crossber payments and new payment and settlement models as tokenization develops. And this is where we look for Ripple. This is where we look for Ripple because guess what?

[00:11:40]Number one from the FCA on May 6th. This is from Bank XRP. The FCA just released PS267 and it's a massive win for the UK's digital asset ecosystem. Why is this important for XRP and also Ripple community? Public chain support. The FCA confirms that tokenized funds can use public blockchains for primary records. The blueprint model.

[00:12:02]Ripple has been at the table helping develop these industry standards. And yes, they have been. And even under progressing fund tokenization, Ripple is mentioned. I included that in a recent video.

[00:12:14]But it gets even crazier because Ripple also put out a post on April 30th, Beyond Trady and DeFi, accelerating digital capital markets in the UK. This is all based around tokenized funds, onchain repo markets, and digital collateral and how they're becoming part of the mainstream financial activity and how settlement is shifting towards real-time always on rails.

[00:12:38]And this is all based around the digital security sandbox with the Bank of England and also the FCA.

[00:12:46]We are starting to see the UK go allin on this technology and Ripple brought together regulators, financial institutions, and crypton native firms at this year's Innovate Finance Global Summit to explore a central question.

[00:12:59]How can the UK accelerate the development of digital capital markets?

[00:13:03]And it seems as though it's happening.

[00:13:05]Like I said, Ripple is a trend setter.

[00:13:10]Ripple is a major leader here. Ripple makes a major statement in some of these key areas and immediately you start to see the shift. We're seeing it now. But this also takes me back to my post from August of 2023. That's right. Because I was talking about how, and at that time it was six years ago. It was back in 2017.

[00:13:34]The Bank of England and Ripple had a proof of concept from over six years ago.

[00:13:42]And this was a trial period. What exactly was the trial on though? Well, it was around their RTGS system.

[00:13:52]Specifically, how we could have two different real-time growth settlement systems with two different currencies all based around crossber payments from 2017.

[00:14:05]They mention specifically the objectives of this and they do say were the lack of available liquidity to make a payment to understand potential ways of responding.

[00:14:16]We al we all know that XRP was tapped in with on demand liquidity during this time and I do believe that XRP still provides a significant amount of ondemand liquidity even within Ripple payment solutions.

[00:14:28]And we know that at the bottom it says that both Ripple and the Bank of England were going to begin exploring these questions and even advancing further on this.

[00:14:39]But the craziest part is that we now have the Bank of England pushing forward on tokenization also on crossber payments with digital assets and DT being tapped in. And even within this, you have more ways to generate intraday liquidity because if you have a 24/7 market, especially even on chain, you need liquidity. They mentioned liquidity bridges here. We know that Ripple had a liquidity hub.

[00:15:05]That was a, you know, launch that they were looking into. Obviously, that got rebranded. It's it never launched. Um, but you know, we still know that Ripple can provide significant liquidity with XRP. XRP is not liquid enough to go after like these massively large use cases, but I could definitely still see a use case potential for XRP even within something like this. But the main point of this is that this is all based around longer operating hours and broader access to RTGS. That's what they're stating within this. And when we think about that, the only way to actually do this is by tapping into new technology.

[00:15:45]And that's why I'm looking at what the UK is doing and I go back to I go back to these documents because they're so interesting to look into now because like I I look at what's happening and I can't help but to go back and say, well, Ripple was already, you know, trying to do something like this with them. And then you look at all the progress that Ripple has made in the UK and I don't think that it's all coincidental. I think that it's all connected. And by the way, all of this, even with the uh FSB, with the Bank of England and stuff, it's all tied back to the CPMI group.

[00:16:22]Remember I said here, how many of these names are tied back to to Ripple? I can name a few. And these are all the major banks tied back to the CPMI group, which Ripple is now a part of. That got announced back in uh 2024. But like it's crazy looking at some of this still. But the main thing that we look at with this document is just, you know, of of it's addressing the frictions in crossber payments and making sure that crossber payments are made efficient, tapping into APIs, tapping into new technologies, and Ripple was right there. I know that this is a very lengthy breakdown, but it's so important to go back to this now that we got this huge update from the Bank of England and even the FCA.

[00:17:04]And I would argue that almost every single nation is going to be doing something like this. Every single one of these long-term visions include tapping into DT, tapping into tokenization, tapping into digital assets. This should be the clearest confirmation that you are in the right market at the right time, investing into the right assets, looking into the right companies because of the connections going as far back as almost 10 years ago with these names that are now just looking into this technology that are now just adopting the technology as well. And by the way, this also provides you an insight on just how slow some of this stuff, you know, is to really kind of take effect.

[00:17:41]So, yeah, we're seeing some incredible moves happening now. This is a crazy update and uh I'm very excited to see it because I do think that this is going to bleed into pretty much every single other nation doing something similar.
