session.</p><p>Combined daily trading volume across all US spot XRP ETFs reached <strong>$11.85 million</strong>, reflecting continued investor participation despite a relatively subdued price environment.</p><h2><span>XRP Price Remains Under Pressure</span></h2><p>The strong ETF inflows came during a period when XRP was still facing price weakness.</p><p>The cryptocurrency traded around <strong>$1.08</strong>, representing a decline of approximately <strong>2.5% over the previous 24 hours</strong> and nearly <strong>10% over the past month</strong>.</p><p>Notably, looking at the ETF flows alongside <a href="https://www.crusadersnewsletter.com/p/xrps-quiet-bull-case-8m-wallets-clarity-momentum-and-the-1-20-breakout-test">XRP&#8217;s price</a>, it is evident that institutional buying has not always translated into immediate price appreciation.</p><p>During the early stages of spot XRP ETF trading, funds recorded significantly larger capital inflows, including a single-day addition of roughly <strong>$187.07 million</strong>, which stands out as the largest inflow shown during the period.</p><p>However, those early inflows were followed by several sessions of notable net outflows around <strong>January 9, 2026</strong>, before daily fund movements settled into a more stable pattern.</p><p>In recent months, ETF flows have generally consisted of smaller but more consistent inflows, with only occasional outflow sessions.</p><p>Over the same period, XRP&#8217;s price has continued to trend lower, illustrating that steady ETF demand has existed alongside a broader decline in the token&#8217;s market price.</p><h2><span>July Flows Reflect Mixed Institutional Activity</span></h2><p>Although July produced its largest inflow on July 16, investor activity throughout the month has been mixed.</p><p>Earlier in the month, US spot XRP ETFs recorded <strong>$6.55 million</strong> in net inflows on <strong>July 2</strong>, followed by a modest <strong>$107,000</strong> inflow on <strong>July 10</strong>.</p><p>The market also experienced periods of selling pressure, including <strong>$1.86 million</strong> in net outflows on <strong>July 1</strong> and <strong>$7.29 million</strong> in outflows on <strong>July 8</strong>.

Deaton and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse have provided fresh insight into how the community&#8217;s involvement extended beyond public support and became part of the case itself.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong><mark data-color="#ff5600" style="background-color: rgb(255, 86, 0); color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Don&#8217;t Miss Out on Our Premium Market Analysis</mark></strong></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong><mark data-color="#ff5600" style="background-color: rgb(255, 86, 0); color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Subscribe Now and Get a 50% Off</mark></strong></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.crusadersnewsletter.com/subscribe?coupon=4e0135f9&amp;utm_content=206999140&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Get 50% off forever&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.crusadersnewsletter.com/subscribe?coupon=4e0135f9&amp;utm_content=206999140"><span>Get 50% off forever</span></a></p><h2><span>XRP Holders Played a Direct Role in the Case</span></h2><p>John E. Deaton, who represented more than <strong>75,000 XRP holders</strong> as amici curiae, <a href="https://x.com/JohnEDeaton1/status/2076738418764063078?s=20">said</a> the community&#8217;s participation helped shape the direction of the lawsuit.</p><p>The filings presented evidence showing that many XRP investors had never interacted with <a href="https://www.crusadersnewsletter.com/p/ripple-lands-historic-xrp-jersey-deal-with-kansas-jayhawks">Ripple</a> and purchased the token for different reasons, challenging the SEC&#8217;s claim that all XRP buyers expected profits from Ripple&#8217;s efforts.</p><p>Those submissions became part of the court record during one of the most closely watched cryptocurrency cases in the United States.</p><p>Judge Analisa Torres later ruled that Ripple&#8217;s <strong>programmatic sales of XRP on public exchanges did not constitute investment contracts</strong>, while institutional sales met the requirements of the Howey Test.</p><p>The distinction marked a major development in the case and reflected the court&#8217;s analysis of different categories of XRP transactions.</p><h2><span>Ripple Nearly Shut Down During the SEC Lawsuit</span></h2><p>Brad Garlinghouse <a href="https://x.com/JohnEDeaton1/status/2076160017137295846?s=20">has also revealed</a> how close Ripple came to ending its operations after the SEC filed its lawsuit in December 2020.</p><p>According to Garlinghouse, the company was only <strong>weeks away from shutting down</strong>. Ripple even considered winding down the business and distributing its XRP holdings to shareholders on a pro rata basis before deciding to continue fighting the case in court.</p><p>The lawsuit also named Garlinghouse and Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen as individual defendants, significantly raising the pressure on the company&#8217;s leadership during the early stages of the legal battle.</p><p>Deaton said the backing from tens of thousands of XRP holders gave Ripple&#8217;s executives confidence to continue resisting settlement pressure instead of bringing the case to an early end.</p><h2><span>A Historic Moment for the XRP Community</span></h2><p>The SEC&#8217;s lawsuit against Ripple became one of the most significant legal disputes in the digital asset industry. Beyond the court rulings, the case also established a rare example of retail investors taking an active role in federal litigation.</p><p>With more than <strong>75,000 XRP holders</strong> participating through Deaton&#8217;s amicus effort and Ripple&#8217;s leadership now confirming how close the company came to shutting down, the community&#8217;s involvement has become a documented part of the lawsuit&#8217;s history.</p><p>The combination of court filings, judicial findings, and statements from both Deaton and Garlinghouse has reinforced one point: XRP holders were not simply watching the case unfold; they became active participants in one of the industry&#8217;s most consequential legal battles.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong><mark data-color="#ff5600"

The platform serves as a central resource for developers, businesses, and AI projects building payment-enabled applications on XRPL. It also provides tools, documentation, and a live view of AI payment activity across the network.</p><h2><span>Ripple Expands AI Payment Infrastructure</span></h2><p>The milestone follows broader efforts by <strong>Ripple</strong> to position the XRP Ledger for AI-driven financial applications.</p><p>The company previously introduced the <strong>XRPL AI Starter Kit</strong>, providing developers with the tools to create AI agents that can send and receive payments using <strong>XRP</strong> and the <a href="https://www.crusadersnewsletter.com/p/xrp-ledgers-rlusd-holding-surpasses-that-of-ethereum?utm_source=publication-search">Ripple USD stablecoin (</a><strong><a href="https://www.crusadersnewsletter.com/p/xrp-ledgers-rlusd-holding-surpasses-that-of-ethereum?utm_source=publication-search">RLUSD</a></strong><a href="https://www.crusadersnewsletter.com/p/xrp-ledgers-rlusd-holding-surpasses-that-of-ethereum?utm_source=publication-search">)</a>.</p><p>Unlike traditional payment systems that often require user approval at every step, AI agents operating on XRPL can complete transactions automatically once predefined conditions are met.</p><p>This makes the network suitable for use cases such as automated API billing, subscription payments, and on-demand computing services.</p><p>The XRP Ledger&#8217;s technical design also supports this type of activity. Transactions typically settle in <strong>3 to 5 seconds</strong>, while network fees remain a fraction of a cent. </p><p>These characteristics make frequent micropayments practical, particularly for AI systems that may need to execute thousands of transactions every day.</p><h2><span>Machine-to-Machine Payments Gain Momentum</span></h2><p>Surpassing <strong>1 million AI agent transactions</strong> marks one of the clearest signs that blockchain networks are beginning to support autonomous digital commerce at scale.</p><p>Instead of relying solely on human users, the XRP Ledger is increasingly being used by software agents that can discover services, authorise payments, and complete transactions independently.</p><p>As more developers integrate AI payment capabilities into their applications, the latest milestone demonstrates that machine-to-machine payments are becoming an active part of the XRP Ledger ecosystem rather than a concept under development.</p><p

Ripple&#8217;s large XRP holdings do not give the company control over the XRP Ledger.</p><p>His remarks come as discussions continue over Ripple&#8217;s role in the ecosystem and the distinction between the company and the digital asset it helped popularise.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong><mark data-color="#ff5600" style="background-color: rgb(255, 86, 0); color: rgb(255, 255,

href="https://youtu.be/_8CN0OXHYmQ?si=TTEbYPReBh4XM_XU">the KU School of Business</a>, Garlinghouse said Ripple owns a significant amount of XRP, but stressed that ownership should not be mistaken for authority over the network.</p><p>According to him, the XRP Ledger operates independently through an open-source framework, meaning Ripple cannot dictate how the blockchain functions despite its sizable holdings.</p><h2><span>Ripple Draws a Clear Line Between Ownership and Network Control</span></h2><p>Speaking about Ripple&#8217;s relationship with XRP, Garlinghouse explained that the company has a strong interest in the asset&#8217;s long-term success because it holds a large amount of XRP.</p><p>However, he emphasised that this financial exposure does not translate into governance over the blockchain.</p><p>The <a href="https://crusadersnewsletter.substack.com/p/xrp-ledgers-rlusd-holding-surpasses-that-of-ethereum">XRP Ledger</a> is maintained by a decentralised network of independent validators that process transactions and reach consensus without relying on Ripple for approval.</p><p>This structure differs from blockchain networks, where token ownership can provide direct influence over governance decisions through voting mechanisms.</p><p>Garlinghouse noted that while Ripple continues to develop products and services that utilise XRP, the company cannot unilaterally change the network&#8217;s rules or determine how transactions are validated.</p><p>Instead, updates and improvements to the XRP Ledger depend on agreement across its validator network.</p><p>His comments also reinforced the distinction between Ripple as a financial technology company and XRP as a digital asset that exists independently on an open-source blockchain.</p><p>Although Ripple remains one of the largest holders of XRP, the ledger continues to function regardless of the company&#8217;s involvement.</p><h2><span>Ripple&#8217;s Business Remains Closely Linked to XRP</span></h2><p>Garlinghouse acknowledged that Ripple&#8217;s success is closely tied to the growth of the XRP ecosystem.</p><p>As a result, the company has a clear incentive to support broader adoption, deeper liquidity, and increased utility for the digital asset.</p><p>Ripple has continued expanding its payment solutions, many of which leverage XRP as a bridge asset for cross-border transactions.</p><p>The company has also grown its presence in multiple regions by pursuing partnerships with financial institutions and payment providers looking to improve the speed and efficiency of international transfers.</p><p>Even so, Garlinghouse reiterated that Ripple&#8217;s commercial interests should not be confused with control over the XRP Ledger. The company&#8217;s ownership of XRP represents an investment in the ecosystem rather than a mechanism for directing how the blockchain operates.</p><p>He also pointed to the difference between the XRP Ledger and proof-of-stake networks, where token ownership can directly influence governance through validator selection or voting rights.</p><p>In contrast, XRP ownership alone does not grant Ripple the ability to control consensus on the XRP Ledger.</p><p>The clarification adds another layer to the ongoing conversation surrounding Ripple and XRP, particularly as the company continues expanding its global business while the XRP Ledger evolves through its independent validator community.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong><mark data-color="#ff5600" style="background-color: rgb(255, 86, 0); color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Subscribe To Our Primeum Newsletter</mark></strong></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong><mark data-color="#ff5600" style="background-color: rgb(255, 86, 0); color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Don&#8217;t Miss the 50% Offer, Register Now</mark></strong></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.crusadersnewsletter.com/subscribe?coupon=4e0135f9&amp;utm_content=206899555&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Get 50% off forever&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.crusadersnewsletter.com/subscribe?coupon=4e0135f9&amp;utm_content=206899555"><span>Get 50% off forever</span></a></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[BREAKING!

data-component-name="Twitter2ToDOM"></div><p>Beyond branding, the partnership includes financial education, digital asset literacy, and career development programs for University of Kansas students.</p><h2><span>XRP Logo to Appear Across Kansas Athletics</span></h2><p>As part of the agreement, the XRP logo will be featured on the uniforms of every Kansas Jayhawks varsity team, making it the first cryptocurrency to receive a jersey patch sponsorship across a major college athletics program.</p><p>That exposure will span multiple sports throughout the academic calendar, giving Ripple visibility across one of the most recognisable brands in collegiate athletics.</p><p>The sponsorship extends well beyond uniforms. Ripple will also receive branding throughout Kansas Athletics facilities, digital platforms, and game-day signage, ensuring the partnership reaches fans both inside stadiums and online.</p><p>Kansas Athletics Director Travis Goff said the university wanted more than a traditional sponsorship.</p><p>Rather than simply adding another logo to its uniforms, Kansas sought a partnership that would create meaningful opportunities for students while introducing a new commercial category into college athletics.</p><p>The agreement was completed in collaboration with Learfield, the company that manages Kansas Athletics&#8217; multimedia rights and corporate partnerships.</p><p>Notably, Learfield has played a major role in the growing jersey patch market, helping complete 13 of the 25 announced jersey patch agreements across college sports.</p><p>Kansas also becomes the second member of the Big 12 Conference to secure a jersey patch sponsor after Oklahoma State, reflecting how schools are increasingly using uniform sponsorships to generate new revenue streams.</p><h2><span>The Partnership Goes Beyond Sports Marketing</span></h2><p>One of the defining features of the agreement is its focus on education and workforce development.</p><p>Ripple will support financial literacy initiatives and digital asset education programs designed for students and student-athletes.</p><p>As blockchain technology and digital payments continue to attract attention from businesses and financial institutions, the programs aim to introduce students to the fundamentals of the sector through educational initiatives supported by Ripple.</p><p>The partnership also includes internship opportunities, career development programs, and job placement efforts intended to connect University of Kansas graduates with careers in technology.</p><p>The relationship between Ripple and the university also has longstanding ties.</p><p>Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse graduated from the University of Kansas, served as student body president during his time on campus, and is a native of Topeka, Kansas. His connection to the university helped begin conversations that later developed into the multi-year agreement involving Ripple, Kansas Athletics, and Learfield.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong><mark data-color="#ff5600" style="background-color: rgb(255, 86, 0); color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Subscribe Now and Get a 50% Discount</mark></strong></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.crusadersnewsletter.com/subscribe?coupon=4e0135f9&amp;utm_content=206135176&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Get 50% off forever&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.crusadersnewsletter.com/subscribe?coupon=4e0135f9&amp;utm_content=206135176"><span>Get 50% off forever</span></a></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[XRP ALERT!

crypto legislation remains limited, Alderoty argued that ownership statistics tell a different story.</p><p>He emphasised that the number of Americans holding digital assets has grown significantly
