🚨 RIPPLE IS BUILDING A BANKING EMPIRE, AND FEBRUARY 26 IS A DATE NO ONE WILL MISS

Expand the image.
Ripple is assembling the entire institutional suite just like banks do, one regulated component at a time.
The acquisition tells this story.
Metaco provided Ripple with secure institutional storage.
Hidden Road adds high-quality execution, brokerage services, financing, and access to real-market infrastructure.
Custody simplifies large-volume payment distribution.
Some prices are public, others are not. But the direction is clear: custody, payments, high-quality brokerage, and treasury infrastructure under one roof.
Now we are adding a trusted banking approach with OCC.
Ripple is already advancing through the American banking system, with "conditional approvals" noted among the companies involved in this process.
Here's the secret.
Once you enter the regulated zone, you stop asking for permission.
You become a system that institutions can use.
And then, on February 26, 2026.
The SEC set this date as a decision point in the Federal Register process related to the T. Rowe Price cryptocurrency ETF proposal.
This is the timeline by which traditional gatekeepers have clearer pathways.
So ask yourself: why is Ripple gathering custody + privileged brokerage + payments + trusted bank frameworks exactly when access windows to ETFs are being formalized?
Is it a true coincidence or a sequence?
If you don’t connect the dots, you don’t understand.
