Ripple and Archax to Bring Tokenized RWA Worth Millions to XRP Ledger
XRP News: Ripple, global crypto payments and financial solutions firm, has partnered with Archax, the United Kingdom’s first Financial Conduct Authority-regulated crypto exchange, broker, and custodian, as per an official announcement at the XRP Ledger Apex 2024 summit on Thursday. These crypto companies will work towards bringing hundreds of millions of dollars in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) to the XRP Ledger over the next year.
Ripple Expands Partnership With Archax
In a press release on June 13, Ripple said it has expanded collaboration with Archax digital asset exchange to establish XRP Ledger (XRPL) as the leading blockchain for real-world assets (RWA) tokenization.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse reacted to the announcement and shared his excitement about the partnership. “I only expect this to grow exponentially in the future,” he added as financial institutions are actively tokenizing their RWAs on XRPL and other Layer-1 blockchains.
The collaboration with Archax will enable financial institutions to use the XRPL to tokenize their RWAs, creating opportunities for multiple next-generation use cases for these assets.
The new agreement represents the expansion of Ripple and Archax’s partnership established in 2022 when Metaco started offering digital asset custody services to Archax’s clients.
“Ripple is excited to see Archax’s vision of driving the adoption of blockchain and digital assets technology amongst financial institutions come to life, while further underlining the credentials of the XRPL as one of the leading blockchains for RWA tokenization,” said Markus Infanger, SVP of RippleX.

Ripple also unveiled the XRPL EVM Sidechain to bring Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility to the XRP Ledger, opening doors to new possibilities in DeFi and RWA utilization.

Alameda Research has sparked concern in the crypto community after transferring large amounts of Polygon (POL) tokens amid a price rally. The beleaguered company transferred another 2 million POL tokens worth $927,000 a few hours ago to a centralized exchange. As Polygon sees upward momentum amid SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s resignation, large transactions are impacting POL’s trajectory.
Alameda Research Large Transfer Spark Concerns
Alameda Research has transferred 2 million Polygon (POL) tokens worth $927K to Binance on November 23, as per Arkham data. This follows a trend of significant movements amid price fluctuations, raising questions about the potential market impact as large transfers signal a sell-off, especially with the token’s recent price surge.
In total, Alameda Research has moved 4.5 million POL tokens over the last four days. The transfers to one of the top crypto exchanges Binance are valued at approximately $1.98 million. This consistent transfer activity, paired with Polygon’s recent price surge, has led to concerns about a possible price correction if whales join the sell-off. Investors contemplate if these moves are part of a strategy to capitalize on POL’s increasing value.
The wallet address associated with Alameda, 0xf02e86d9e0efd57ad034faf52201b79917fe0713, remains active, keeping traders on high alert as they monitor Binance’s order books for any signs of liquidation. Previously, Alameda had a history of large-scale token dumps that have caused substantial market fluctuations.
For instance, Worldcoin saw a price drop after Alameda Research dumped a large amount of its tokens, leading to concerns about a similar outcome for Polygon (POL) following the recent transfers.
POL Price Jumped 35% This Week Amid Gensler’s Resignation
POL token has jumped 35% over the past week following news that SEC Chair Gary Gensler will step down next year. The announcement, made after growing calls for Gensler’s resignation following Donald Trump’s presidential victory, has sparked market optimism for a potential shift toward more crypto-friendly regulations. POL is currently trading at $0.53, up 18% in the past 24 hours, with a 24-hour low and high of $0.4496 and $0.5434.
Polygon has been making strides with its ambitious goal of creating an agglayer focused on cross-chain interoperability and liquidity unification. The project is working towards connecting all major blockchain networks, with Agora AUSD selected as the native stablecoin for the agglayer. This initiative could significantly enhance Polygon’s utility in the broader ecosystem, potentially driving further adoption.

Terra Luna Classic community dismissed a community pool spent proposal by Cosmos developer team BLV Labs for recent work on the blockchain. Some developers and community members highlighted that the developer group failed to follow governance rules as there were no testnet and mainnet deployments. LUNC price saw more than 5% upsurge amid recent developments.
Terra Luna Classic Proposed Rejected By Community
Community pool spend proposal 12146 by BLV Labs faced a roadblock as the developer group failed to execute the developments on the Terra Luna Classic mainnet. The proposal saw nearly 90% “No” votes, including Allnodes, Interstellar Lounge, Interstake One, and other validators. The developer seeks $5000 in LUNC.
Validators responded that there was discussion, with no testnet deployment or mainnet deployment. The community requested the team to finish the work for payout.
The developer worked on the use of Oracle module to update and calculate the minimum deposit required to create a proposal in the governance module. BLV suggested that the system will automatically increase the minimum margin to ensure the value of the proposal is maintained in the event of a sharp drop or spike in LUNC price.
The team claimed the code pushed to GitHub and a pull request created on the Classic Terra repository. After that, we continued to work on all the bugs related to testing and integration. The team plans to EVM, SDK50 upgrade, or IBC improvement.
Meanwhile, the Terra Classic community has approved a proposal to transfer CoinMarketCap dashboard account access to top validator Allnodes directly.

BitMEX co-founder and crypto millionaire Arthur Hayes has shilled another Solana meme coin to his followers. As expected, the coin’s price rallied following Hayes’ mention of the coin in an X post.
Arthur Hayes Shills FLOWER Meme Coin
In an X post, Arthur Hayes shared the Dextool profile of the FlowerAI (FLOWER) meme coin with the caption “kek.” Given Hayes’ status in the crypto community, this post was enough to send the meme coin’s price soaring.
When he made the post, FLOWER’s price was $0.02232, but the coin’s price has since spiked and is now above $0.03. The coin’s market cap was $22 million at the time but is now at $30 million following the price rally.
Arthur Hayes’ post has drawn criticism. Some of his followers questioned why someone of his repute was shilling a low-cap coin. Meanwhile, some accused him of intentionally trying to pump and dump the coin on his followers.
Besides shilling top SOL meme coins like Dogwifhat (WIF) in the past, Hayes has also dabbled into low and mid-cap coins. There was a point where he mentioned that he bought the MOTHER and MOG tokens. He also bet Solana AI meme coin Goatseus Maximus (GOAT).
Meanwhile, more recently, the Solana meme coin Deep Worm Price skyrocketed 180% after Hayes shilled it and asserted that the coin would reach a billion market cap. When he shilled the coin, WORM had a market cap of $55 million. However, following the pump, WORM’s market cap has since dropped to $41 million.
Solana Meme Coin Ecosystem Presents A Huge Boost
While Arthur Hayes continues to shill Solana meme coins, there is no doubt about the positive impact these coins have had on Solana and the SOL price. The SOL price recently hit a new all-time high (ATH) of $263, and this development is thanks to the increased demand for the coin among traders looking to invest in meme coins on the network.
The Solana network has also continued to record massive trading volume thanks to its meme coin ecosystem. For context, Solana is currently leading all other chains, including Ethereum, in terms of decentralized exchange (DEX) volume.
DeFiLlama data shows that the network has recorded a DEX volume of $44 billion and $5 billion in the last seven days and 24 hours, respectively. Ethereum comes in a distant second with $17 billion and $2.9 billion recorded during these periods.
With stakeholders in the crypto industry like Arthur Hayes shilling these Solana meme coins, the Solana network will unlikely continue to enjoy more trading volume as more investors also look to trade these coins.
