Ripple’s recent moves are drawing new attention after Western Union picked Solana for a USDPT rollout in 2026. According to supporters of XRP, that headline misses a bigger picture: Ripple has been buying firms that touch much larger pools of money.

But some say that sum is small compared with the pipelines Ripple is tying into. Trillions Not Billions Based on reports, Ripple has added firms that already sit inside massive payment and liquidity systems. Hidden Road, a global prime brokerage, clears about $3 trillion a year. GTreasury provides treasury tools that move trillions in payments across 160+ countries. Rail handles roughly 10% of all stablecoin-based payment volume worldwide. Those figures matter because ownership gives a different kind of access than a short-term partnership does. many of you have asked for my thoughts on the western union x solana announcement, so here they are. TLDR: billions are cool, but trillions are cooler. while western union handles billions of dollars each year, ripple is on its way to handling trillions of dollars each year.… — Dom | EasyA (@dom_kwok) October 29, 2025 Market Comment And Skepticism Market voices pushed back. Scott Melker questioned XRP’s current role after Western Union chose Solana, noting Western Union had tested the XRP Ledger for years. That choice has prompted debate about whether XRP still matters for big global payments right now. At the same time, Ripple’s backers argue a deeper story exists beyond which chain a single company picks for its stablecoin. XRP As The Settlement Layer According to Dom Kwok, co-founder of EasyA, the proper lens is scale. He says the conversation should not center on deals worth billions but on the trillions Ripple now touches through acquisitions. Kwok and others suggest those companies could be steered to use the XRP Ledger for settlement over time. Ripple’s own technology and business moves are being framed as the plumbing that could let XRP settle large, institutional flows. Supporters Speak Up Flare CEO Hugo Philion has also downplayed the Western Union news, saying it does not undercut Ripple’s strategy. Based on reports from community figures, some engineers and analysts now say XRP could shift from a bridge token to a place people hold value. There will come a time where XRP and XRPL is just where you keep most of your wealth. That is called Treasury. Hint hint. — Vincent Van Code (@vincent_vancode) October 17, 2025 Vincent Van Code told followers that “a time will come when XRP and the XRP Ledger are just where you keep most of your wealth,” a view which mirrors comments by Ripple’s CTO David Schwartz about users acting as their own banks. Ownership Vs. Partnerships When a company owns a platform, it can choose how that tool grows. Reports show acquisitions give Ripple a steadier role in payments and trading services than a single contract would. Yet ownership does not guarantee instant change. Moving institutional flows onto a specific ledger is complex and can take time.

One asks whether wins like Western Union’s Solana deal signal broader market preference. The other watches whether Ripple’s purchases translate into actual settlement volume for XRP. Numbers such as $3 trillion, trillions across 160+ countries, and 10% of stablecoin payments give weight to the second view. But adoption at scale is not automatic, and observers will be looking for clear signs that those trillions are truly shifting toward the XRP Ledger.

Billions In Bitcoin And Ethereum Leave Exchanges: Is Selling Pressure Easing?
A new trend is taking shape across the crypto market with investors pulling large amounts of Bitcoin and Ethereum from centralized exchanges. Data from on-chain analytics platform Sentora, formerly known as IntoTheBlock, shows that exchange balances for both leading cryptocurrencies have dropped notably over the past week. Prices are holding steady without much bullish momentum, but these massive withdrawals may hint at a subtle change in investor sentiment going into November. Related Reading: Dogecoin Flashback: Mirror Move Hints At Record-Breaking Surge Bitcoin And Ethereum Witness Billions Of Outflows From Exchanges According to data from Sentora, Bitcoin recorded more than $2 billion in outflows from centralized exchanges over the course of the week. This is interesting, as it is one of the largest weekly movements of Bitcoin from exchanges so far this quarter. Furthermore, this trend is interesting because it is coming off an unfavorable month for the crypto industry in general, considering the crash that happened in the middle of the month. The outflow numbers can be interpreted as a sign of confidence among whale addresses choosing long-term storage over trading. On-chain data from whale transaction tracker Lookonchain supports this trend, showing two newly created wallets withdrawing 2,000 BTC worth about $260 million from crypto exchange Binance toward the end of the week. Ethereum also witnessed a similar trend to Bitcoin. Data from Sentora shows that the leading altcoin saw major outflows during the week, coming to a total of about $600 million. Bitcoin and Ethereum Weekly Key Metrics. Source: Sentora What Could This Signal For Bitcoin And Ethereum? The massive exchange outflows are somewhat confusing, considering the fact that both Bitcoin and Ethereum ended October with negative monthly closes and broke the long-running Uptober trend that has shaped the crypto market for years. For six straight years, October had been one of Bitcoin’s most dependable bullish months that set the stage for strong year-end rallies. That streak has now ended with Bitcoin closing October 2025 about 4% below its monthly open, its first red October since 2018. Ethereum also followed a similar path and recorded a more notable monthly close of about 7.15% below its open. Data from Sentora, as shown above, points to reduced activity in these blockchains that suggests the required bullish activity may not be there yet. The total fees on the Bitcoin blockchain come out to be $2.03 million, an 8.6% reduction from the previous week. The Ethereum network also saw a 13.2% fall in fees, coming out to $5.05 million. Related Reading: Dogecoin Enters The Big Leagues — Stadium And Jerseys Get A Crypto Makeover Nonetheless, the outflows from exchanges are a bullish place to start. It eases selling pressure in the market, as fewer coins on exchanges mean fewer assets immediately available for sale. This, in turn, can tighten supply and gradually build a foundation for higher prices leading up to November. Whale traders might already be positioning themselves for the possibility of a bullish November. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView
