💍 Ripple Put a Ring on TJM — But XRP Still Has to Earn It 😏🪙

Ripple just upgraded a “partner” into an investment, backing TJM Investments (FINRA broker-dealer) and TJM Institutional Services (NFA introducing broker) while keeping execution + clearing running through Ripple Prime. That’s not a hype headline — that’s institutional plumbing. 🧱🏦

Here’s the catch: TJM says digital-asset coverage is coming “in the coming months.” So if you’re trading this like it flips a switch today, you’re basically trading vibes. 🥱⏳

Now the XRP angle: Ripple Prime’s U.S. spot prime brokerage lists OTC spot transactions including XRP (and RLUSD) among supported assets. So yes — if TJM expands into digital assets on that stack, XRP is a likely early name to show up. But no — nothing here guarantees an “XRP demand explosion” on day one. 🚀🙃

My (judgy) verdict: bullish for Ripple’s institutional footprint, neutral-until-proven for XRP price. The only version of this that matters is the boring one: real coverage, real counterparties, real volume. Until then, it’s just another headline retail treats like a winning lottery ticket. 🎟️😬
