Ripple achieved a major regulatory milestone by winning final US approval for a national trust bank charter, marking significant institutional validation ahead of its Swell conference and complementing recent stablecoin initiatives like RLUSD's integration into corporate cash management. In parallel, regulators on both sides of the North American border are shaping stablecoin frameworks, with Canada seeking public comment on rules that would cap redemption fees at 1% and ban yield, while the US prepares to implement the GENIUS Act. Other notable developments include Keystone's security breach, the Arbistar Ponzi scheme's large Bitcoin movements, and growing institutional crypto adoption through venues like Aviva's $66 million tokenized sterling fund investment on XRP Ledger.
