Market View
Crypto opens the week on firmer footing, with XRP outperforming BTC and ETH while institutional headlines increasingly shift from simple asset exposure toward credit, collateral and financing infrastructure. Today’s bigger story is not price. XRP-linked ETF shares are appearing inside traditional repo collateral baskets, while Clearpool is preparing institutional credit markets directly on XRPL. Neither proves large-scale native XRP usage yet—but both move the ecosystem closer to financial workflows where assets can be borrowed against, financed and reused.
Signal stack
Clearpool says it has originated more than $965 million in loans across its existing markets and now lists XRPL as its next network. Its planned architecture combines RLUSD, XLS-65 vaults and XLS-66 lending, with Hex Trust providing custody.
XRPL’s native lending infrastructure is not yet live on mainnet. This remains a credible institutional deployment path—not completed adoption.
A Schwab regulatory filing showed shares in four spot XRP ETFs appearing inside broader collateral baskets used in repo transactions. That does not mean Schwab bought the XRP ETFs, and it does not mean native XRP itself was posted as collateral. But it does show XRP-linked regulated securities beginning to enter the same secured-financing infrastructure used by traditional assets.
This is a more meaningful institutional step than simple ETF ownership because collateral gives an asset a role inside financing markets.
President Trump has accepted roughly 80% of a bipartisan ethics proposal negotiated around the CLARITY Act, removing one more source of resistance ahead of the Senate’s next procedural vote. The cloture vote on the motion to proceed is scheduled for Tuesday, 15 September at 2:15 p.m.
This is not final passage—it determines whether the legislation clears its next major Senate hurdle.

Global DEX spot volume is around $9.8 billion over 24 hours and weekly DEX activity is up roughly 22%. With global stablecoin supply almost unchanged, existing on-chain liquidity appears to be turning over faster rather than being driven by a large new wave of stablecoin capital.
XRPL$1.13B stablecoins
RLUSD~92% of XRPL totalXRPL stablecoin supply remains around $1.13 billion, up more than 22% over 30 days, with RLUSD representing roughly 92% of the total. The next step is getting that liquidity working harder through trading, lending, collateral and settlement—not simply increasing stablecoin balances.

Project highlight · revenue-backed token economics
Sky stands out because its token economy increasingly connects protocol activity directly to token holders. The protocol’s August tokenomics update states that SKY staking rewards are funded through open-market token buybacks using protocol surplus rather than new token issuance. SKY has a maximum supply of 23.46 billion tokens, with additional issuance beyond that cap permanently disabled. The model combines stablecoin issuance, collateralized borrowing, RWAs and revenue-backed token economics inside the same ecosystem.
Today strengthens the financial-infrastructure thesis around XRP more than it proves direct XRP demand. Clearpool gives XRPL a credible path into institutional lending, RLUSD would sit directly inside those credit markets, and XRP-linked ETF shares are beginning to appear within traditional collateral infrastructure.
The final bridge has not been crossed. Stronger confirmation would be native XRP repeatedly appearing inside lending, collateral, liquidity, settlement or financing transactions themselves. If that starts happening alongside the growth of RLUSD and XRPL institutional products, the connection moves from ecosystem proximity toward measurable value accrual.
