XRPLRipple is actively promoting the addition of a layer of lending infrastructure on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), enabling institutions to use on-chain tokenized assets as collateral for financing, while the loan terms are automatically executed by the protocol, with credit assessments and lending decisions still made by off-chain institutions.According to reports, the proposal is named the XRPL Lending Protocol (corresponding to the XLS-65 and XLS-66 standards), which is currently still in the technical draft stage and must be approved through validator voting before it can go live on the mainnet, but it is already available for developer testing on the test network.The design of the protocol splits the lending process into two parts: on-chain mechanisms responsible for fund pool management, interest calculation, repayment execution, and default handling; while borrower credit assessments and loan term settings remain with traditional financial institutions to meet compliance requirements in different jurisdictions.Ripple states that this mechanism is primarily aimed at institutional short-term liquidity needs, such as in cross-border payment scenarios, where temporary financing is obtained through stablecoins or collateralized assets before settlement, to enhance capital efficiency.Analysts believe that this solution attempts to introduce a "rule-based lending infrastructure" similar to traditional finance while maintaining the open network attributes of XRPL, but it still faces competition from established on-chain lending protocols like Aave, Compound, and Maple.

ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood stated on the X platform that capital outflows from globally less stable countries will bring new upward momentum for Bitcoin and other digital assets.She pointed out that artificial intelligence is leading a technological revolution and "drawing a lot of attention and liquidity" in the investment field, but AI cannot replace the role that digital assets play in the current global environment—especially as a "wealth insurance tool."Cathie Wood emphasized that against the backdrop of rising macro uncertainty, the demand from investors for asset preservation and cross-border allocation tools is increasing, and digital assets are gradually becoming an important means of meeting this demand.

According to CoinDesk, U.S. House Democrat Maxine Waters submitted an 11-page letter to the U.S. Department of Labor, requesting the withdrawal of a proposal that allows 401(k) retirement plans to invest in alternative assets (including private equity, private credit, real estate, commodities, and digital assets).Waters stated, "On one hand, the Department of Labor acknowledges that digital assets are suitable for the retirement savings of ordinary Americans, while on the other hand, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is still building investor protection mechanisms aimed at ensuring the safety of ordinary investors in these assets, which is inherently contradictory. The risks are not limited to the volatility of individual tokens (although the volatility is indeed significant); it reflects the general deterioration of the entire digital asset ecosystem, with trading activity, developer participation, and user engagement all significantly declining."Waters previously served as the chair of the House Financial Services Committee during the last Democratic administration, and if the Democrats win a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives after the November midterm elections, she may again serve as the chair of that committee.
