Ripple has embarked on a $250 million acquisition strategy aimed at transforming the banking sector through blockchain technology. This initiative includes partnerships with Metaco and Standard Custody, allowing banks to tokenize assets on the XRP Ledger, which is expected to create a new dual-revenue model. Additionally, Ripple's President, Monica Long, reported that 15 of the 25 largest banks are piloting tokenized asset projects, with regulatory clarity anticipated to boost mainstream adoption in 2025. In related developments, Bitfinex has announced the listing of two new stablecoins, StablREuro ($EURR) and $USDR, both pegged 1:1 to the Euro and US Dollar respectively, which are designed for secure transactions on the Ethereum blockchain. The deposits for these stablecoins are now live on Bitfinex, providing a cost-effective solution for international payments and corporate financial management.
