XRP has once again come to the forefront after being cited as an example of a commodity in the guidance document published by the SEC and CFTC, while important statements have come from the CEO of Ripple Prime.

In an interview with Jake Claver of Digital Ascension Group, Ripple Prime CEO Mike Higgins stated that XRP could be used as institutional collateral.

Ripple Prime’s CEO stated that XRP is being used as collateral for institutional transactions. According to Higgins, institutions are now actively using XRP as collateral to access traditional financial markets.

This statement comes after community criticism that Ripple, following its acquisition of Hidden Road, was prioritizing its own native stablecoin RLUSD over XRP.

Higgins explained that Ripple Prime accepts XRP not only as a means of payment but also as collateral.

The CEO emphasized that “XRP plays a key role,” stating, “It supports institutions in borrowing funds and conducting transactions based on XRP held as collateral.”

At this point, Higgins added that institutional investors could provide liquidity without selling XRP, thus expanding XRP’s use cases.

Ripple announced it will add Hyperliquid (HYPE) to Ripple Prime, its primary brokerage platform for institutional investors.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
