🇨🇭 AMINA Bank, the First European Bank to Adopt Ripple Payments Infrastructure for Cross-Border Payments Zurich, Switzerland – December 2025 – The Swiss bank AMINA Bank AG, a financial institution regulated by FINMA, has announced a strategic partnership with the blockchain technology company Ripple to implement its Ripple Payments solution, thus becoming the first European bank to adopt this infrastructure for cross-border payments. The integration of Ripple Payments will allow AMINA Bank's clients to make international transfers almost in real-time, with a significant reduction in costs and greater transparency, overcoming the inherent frictions of traditional correspondent banking systems. Bridge between Traditional Finance and Web3 This collaboration aims to create a crucial bridge between traditional fiat rails and blockchain rails, a key operational challenge for native Web3 companies that interact with traditional banking. Efficiency for Crypto Clients: AMINA clients, especially those focused on digital assets, will be able to move funds internationally more swiftly, whether in fiat currency or using regulated stablecoins. Adoption of Stablecoin: The integration is based on a prior relationship, as AMINA Bank was the first bank globally to offer custody and trading services for Ripple's stablecoin, RLUSD (Ripple USD). Now, with Ripple Payments, the bank will be able to use this stablecoin and others to settle transactions. Myles Harrison, Product Director of AMINA Bank, highlighted that traditional correspondent systems were not designed to support cross-border transactions with stablecoins, and Ripple's support helps its clients maintain a competitive edge. Cassie Craddock, Managing Director for the UK and Europe at Ripple, emphasized that this partnership positions AMINA Bank as a vital conduit for digital asset innovators. $XRP

Shiba Inu (SHIB) Price Just Got 66.3 Trillion Reasons to Not Add Zero
Shiba Inu (SHIB) coin is showing signs of structural strength that a lot of people did not expect at this stage of the market. Looking at the latest on-chain data by IntoTheBlock, there is a whopping 66.3 trillion SHIBs stuck between the $0.000009 and $0.000012 price range.
That level of concentrated positioning is like a shield — and for now, it is a strong sign that SHIB is unlikely to dip below that range.

The sweet spot is obvious:43.9 trillion SHIB is sitting in the green between $0.000009 and $0.000011, and another 22.4 trillion is currently at breakeven around $0.000011-$0.000012. All of those 66.3 trillion SHIB basically create a floor.
It means hundreds of thousands of addresses are now all lined up in a tight price range, defending a level that is not just psychological but also economically sticky.
Why does this matter?
In crypto, zones with high wallet density tend to create friction. The price does not affect them easily unless a big macro or technical shock forces it.
Thus, while the market is still a bit volatile, SHIB's current holders are in a zone where it is more likely to go up than down, unless something drastic happens with the market.
card
The bigger picture still shows thatmost SHIB holders are in the red — nearly 88% — but this new concentration at the lower edge is really important. It puts a limit on how low prices can go before big holders start defending their positions.
It is not a guarantee, but in crypto math, 66.3 trillion SHIB are worth more than words.
XRP Giant Uphold Could Be Acquired: Pro-Ripple Lawyer Predicts PayPal and Binance Among Potential...
Crypto attorneyJohn E. Deaton has just added fuel to the XRP debate by publicly speculating that Uphold, the platform most synonymous with XRP support, could be snapped up by a major player.
He has a long list of potential buyers, includingCoinbase, Kraken, Binance, Gemini, Robinhood, Ripple and even some big names from the traditional finance world like JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Fidelity, Citi and PayPal.
card
Uphold is in a rare position. According to the latest transparency data, XRP accounts for an amazing $4.54 billion of the platform's $6.61 billion in total reserves — that is roughly 69% of all assets held.XRP is at the heart of Uphold, not just a little part of it.
The platform has also processed over 26 million XRP transactions, making up 26% of the total volume, and it is still going strong. Just this week, Uphold announced support for USDC via the XRP Ledger.
So, the platform is not just holding the coin; it is XRP-centric. With a reserve ratio of 100.6%, it runs a fully-backed model and already facilitates large-scale XRPL activity without needing to build new rails.
Why not?
But there is one big catch. Simon McLoughlin, the CEO of Uphold, is known to be a big fan ofXRP and the XRPFi ecosystem. He is not just a supporter — he is a believer.
That personal conviction may make any acquisition difficult unless buyers are willing to pay well above the market rate. McLoughlin could either hold the line or drive the asking price into the stratosphere.
card
Deaton's call might be a bit of a stretch, but with all the numbers, positioning and growing institutional interest in XRP infrastructure, it is definitely something to keep an eye on.
Also, do not forget thatRipple already had a history of such acquisitions with a minor stake at Bitstamp, which was later merged with Robinhood.
