Xaif’s recent post on X set the crypto world abuzz with news that Ripple has partnered with BBVA , one of Europe’s largest banks, in a move that could reshape how global banking interacts with digital assets. This agreement is not speculation—it represents real institutional adoption and a pivotal moment for XRP’s role in international finance. A Landmark Partnership BBVA, with total assets of roughly €716 billion, operates in over 30 countries and processes more than €200 billion in cross-border payments annually. According to Ripple’s official announcement , BBVA will integrate Ripple Custody, an institutional-grade platform developed after Ripple’s 2023 acquisition of Metaco. This technology allows BBVA to securely offer retail customers regulated crypto trading and custody services in Spain, fully compliant with the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework. By deploying Ripple’s infrastructure at such a scale, BBVA is signaling that digital assets have moved from experimental to essential. BREAKING: Ripple and BBVA just inked a game-changing partnership! This is MASSIVE for #XRP and signals a seismic shift in global banking embracing digital assets THREAD pic.twitter.com/SmGJYk5F6d — Xaif Crypto | (@Xaif_Crypto) September 11, 2025 Why This Matters for Global Banking Traditional financial institutions have long been cautious about blockchain integration, but BBVA’s decision underscores a shift. With operations spanning Europe, Latin America, and the United States, the bank’s adoption of Ripple’s network demonstrates confidence in the security and regulatory clarity of tokenized finance. By streamlining international transactions, Ripple’s technology can reduce settlement times from days to seconds , lowering costs and enhancing transparency. This sets a precedent other global banks are likely to follow, igniting what many analysts describe as a “domino effect” of adoption across the sector. Implications for XRP Utility While the partnership itself focuses on custody infrastructure rather than explicitly announcing XRP as a settlement currency, the integration is built on Ripple’s ecosystem, which is designed to leverage the XRP Ledger for fast, low-cost global payments. We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025 With BBVA now equipped to use Ripple’s rails, the potential for XRP to serve as a bridge asset in high-volume corridors has increased substantially. This structural foundation removes key barriers for future liquidity sourcing, making it easier for institutions to tap XRP when seeking instant cross-border settlement. Market Outlook and Investor Takeaway The BBVA–Ripple alliance is a watershed moment that could trigger broader institutional participation. As more banks look to modernize their payment systems, Ripple’s technology—and by extension, XRP—stands to benefit from increased trust and real-world utility. Whether this immediately drives XRP’s price higher will depend on the pace of adoption and evolving regulatory landscapes, but the infrastructure for exponential growth is now in place. Xaif accurately captured the significance, calling it a “seismic shift in global banking embracing digital assets.” For investors and market watchers, the message is clear: the traditional financial system is no longer hesitating—it’s integrating.

A Bitcoin wallet that had been dormant for 13 years started to act today for the first time. According to onchain data, some of the 444.81 BTC (approximately $50.7 million) held in the wallet was transferred. According to data from blockchain explorer Mempool, a total of 137.03 BTC ($15.6 million) was sent at 2:27 PM. According to Arkham tagging, 132 BTC were transferred to a new address, while 5 BTC were deposited into the Kraken exchange.
