1/ Momentum is building on the XRPL EVM Sidechain. 🧵👇
Early activity was concentrated around launch day, which saw 800+ contracts deployed and 600+ new accounts created.

Current stats:
➡️ 1,300+ smart contracts deployed
➡️ 17,000+ addresses participated
➡️ 160+ tokens launched 2/ Since launch, core infrastructure is live, bridging is operational, and foundational apps are emerging as daily usage continues.

TVL is concentrated in Ethereum-origin RWAs and stablecoins bridged to the XRPL EVM Sidechain:
🪙 USDf
🪙 mMEV
🪙 mEDGE
🪙 mTBILL

1/ Singapore continues to lead in blockchain innovation. 🇸🇬

@Ripple and @tenity_global are set to launch an XRPL Accelerator program to support builders and startups across APAC:

This is a 12-week program with a focus on RWA tokenization, institutional DeFi, and AI + blockchain, and up to $200K in funding. Learn more 👇🧵on.ripple.com/40wlDgj 2/ The accelerator reflects Ripple’s continued commitment to driving utility and growth in APAC.

“Singapore has firmly established itself as a forward-thinking leader in digital innovation. This accelerator will help cultivate new talent and unlock scalable use cases on the XRPL.”

— Fiona Murray, Managing Director, APAC, Ripple

1/ The XRPL EVM Sidechain is live on mainnet:

After years of building with @Peersyst and the XRPL community, devs can now build, port, and deploy cross-chain and EVM-only dApps using XRP as gas, with a direct bridge to the XRPL.

Get started 👇on.ripple.com/4eoPHjI 2/ What’s live today?

✅ Full EVM compatibility with Solidity, MetaMask, Hardhat and more
✅ Smart contract support via EVM
✅ XRP as native gas token
✅ 3.4s block time, 1,000 TPS
✅ PoA consensus + 25+ validators
✅ Direct XRPL bridge via @axelar

Built for devs. Ready for scale.

1/ XRPL just got a long sought after upgrade proposal: Batch Transactions (XLS-56d), created by @angell_denis:

And the key watchword? Monetization.

Now devs will find it even easier to build reliable, revenue-generating apps directly onchain.

Let’s break it down. 🧵👇dev.to/ripplexdev/int… 2/ Batch Transactions let you group multiple actions into a single atomic transaction:
→ 1 submission
→ Up to 8 actions
→ 1 fee
→ 1 signature
→ Guaranteed outcome logic

It’s like turning scattered code into a single, unstoppable flow.

1/ As the XRP Ledger grows, so does network traffic, and that’s a good problem to have.

But too many duplicate validator messages can flood the pipes.

Enter → Squelching: an algorithmic solution to keep XRPL fast, lean, and scalable. 2/ The XRP Ledger’s default message relay method is flooding, super reliable, but super inefficient.

22.8 TB/day of validator traffic
Only 7.8% of it is actually useful

Squelching helps cut the digital noise.

1/ Big unlock for institutional DeFi on XRPL: the Permissioned DEX:

It will allow regulated players to trade on XRPL’s DEX using verified credentials, enabling KYC-gated FX swaps, stablecoin flows, and more.

A major step toward real-world, compliant DeFi. 🧵👇on.ripple.com/4nfAshn 2/ Traditionally, anyone can match offers on XRPL’s DEX.

With Permissioned DEX, you can now create gated order books, accessible only to approved accounts via credentials.

No custom smart contracts. Compliance-focused.

1/ Permission Delegation is a new feature that enhances security and operational flexibility, enabling clear segregation of duties for token issuers and developers.

Learn more: dev.to/ripplexdev/per… 2/ Performance testing confirms that Permission Delegation can be safely integrated into rippled without compromising the stability or performance of XRPL Mainnet.

Apex 2025 marked a major turning point for institutional adoption on the XRP Ledger:

From tokenized treasuries to global stablecoins, real-world finance is no longer hypothetical; it’s being built now on XRPL.
