According to @kwok_phil, the $1.3b stablecoin RLUSD is adopting Wormhole’s Native Token Transfers (NTT) to expand across ecosystems, a move also stated by Wormhole’s official X post on Dec 19, 2025. According to Wormhole’s X post, integrating RLUSD with NTT enables onchain transfers across ecosystems, broadening venues for RLUSD movement and liquidity relevant to traders. According to @kwok_phil, RLUSD is issued under NYDFS oversight with conditional OCC approval, and he adds that Ripple operates with 75+ global licenses, highlighting a compliance profile that matters for XRP-linked markets.

According to Michael Saylor, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has officially stated that it is permissible for banks to embrace Bitcoin, as reported on May 8, 2025 (source: Michael Saylor on Twitter). This regulatory approval signals a major shift in the U.S. banking sector, enabling traditional financial institutions to offer Bitcoin-related services. For traders, this decision is likely to enhance institutional adoption and increase liquidity in the crypto market, potentially impacting Bitcoin price volatility and trading strategies. The OCC’s move could also accelerate integration between traditional finance and digital assets, making Bitcoin more accessible to mainstream investors (source: OCC statement via Michael Saylor).
