Ripple said it has expanded its partnership with regulated digital asset exchange Archax. Archax’s CEO forecast that $30–50 trillion in assets could be traded on the XRP Ledger over the next two years. The summary also said REAL token is scheduled to list on another global centralized exchange on August 1, 2026, to broaden access to an XRP Ledger-based payments and media ecosystem. It added that the article provided no issuer, technical, or tokenomics details for REAL and described its relationship to XRP as ecosystem collaboration rather than a direct token linkage.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin publicly proposed a new roadmap dubbed “Lean Ethereum” on 2026-07-10, aiming to systematically streamline and rework nearly every layer of the protocol, including consensus, execution, data availability, and account abstraction. The framework emphasizes minimalism, modularity, and censorship resistance, and is positioned as a medium- to long-term architectural direction rather than a near-term upgrade. The announcement, posted on Buterin’s official social media account, was described as his first formal explanation and did not include technical details or a timeline. As a top-level technical vision update for Ethereum, it is expected to shape core client development, L2 design patterns, and validator economic models.

Crypto data platform Upscreener said it has listed the Sunusi token, allowing users to trade it directly through its built-in Swap feature. Previously, the platform only supported tracking Sunusi, and the update marks the first time it has opened a direct trading channel for the token. The announcement did not disclose key details such as Sunusi’s contract address, issuer background, circulating supply, market capitalization, or any exchange listing information. The identifiers “NEWS” and “A” mentioned are not standard token symbols and do not match major or well-known projects listed on BingX, with no evidence they represent a tradable asset.

SWIFT said its network can support tokenized assets, including XRP, while it does not plan to create its own digital assets or cryptocurrency. It framed that decision as different from cross-border payment models such as Ripple’s, which uses XRP for payments over its distributed ledger network. SWIFT added it does not want to compete with its members and is willing to interoperate with existing crypto-based projects.

Ripple Treasury said it will work to connect XRP to the SWIFT network, according to documentation. SWIFT is the global standard for interbank financial messaging and serves more than 11,000 financial institutions. If the integration succeeds, XRP would become the first non-stablecoin crypto asset to receive native support within the SWIFT ecosystem. The initiative is positioned as an infrastructure-level expansion led by an official Ripple entity and does not involve a new exchange listing or additional token issuance.

The Avici team said it acquired the Twitter account @Avici and is acquiring the decentralized identity protocol World.xyz. It said it plans to migrate World.xyz back to the Solana blockchain. World.xyz is positioned in the Solana ecosystem as account abstraction (AA) and social login infrastructure. The project had previously moved away from Solana for a short period due to differences over its technical approach.

Ripple Treasury said its ClearConnect API gateway has integrated multiple global banks, including ANZ, OCBC, Wells Fargo and HSBC, and noted that some of these banks also went live with SWIFT’s new system the same day. The gateway provides institutional clients with standardized APIs to connect RippleNet with traditional banking systems. It supports real-time cross-border payments and reconciliation. The announcement did not cite any direct XRP technical upgrade or changes to the token’s mechanism.

SWIFT’s 2026 payments framework names more than 30 banks that have ties to Ripple, including HSBC, Deutsche Bank, Santander, Standard Chartered and JPMorgan. The document says XRP is not meant to replace SWIFT, but to function as a “liquidity bridge” within its system. The move marks XRP’s first inclusion in an official technical framework tied to the global financial messaging infrastructure and points to settlement-layer integration rather than a conceptual partnership or pilot.

On 2026年7月10日, Wells Fargo disclosed crypto-related holdings linked to Bitcoin, Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), MicroStrategy (MSTR) and BlockTower Capital-related funds (BMNR) in a Form 13F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The filing did not report specific position sizes or market value, but it explicitly listed ETH and SOL as directly held crypto assets. The disclosure makes Wells Fargo the first of the top five U.S. banks to list native token holdings in a statutory filing, lifting the level of traditional finance’s formal recognition of major crypto assets.

SUI Group Holdings (SUIG) said in an SEC 8-K filing dated 2026年7月10日 that it has appointed Kristina Campbell to its board of directors. Campbell previously served as chief financial officer at Ripple Labs, where she built the company’s first formal $XRP treasury governance framework. The company did not disclose a specific scope of responsibilities or a timetable for the appointment.
