According to the source, a social media post claims Ripple partnered with UC Berkeley to launch a Center for Digital Assets with $1.3M funding in RLUSD, but the post provides no link to an official Ripple or UC Berkeley announcement, leaving the claim unverified for trading decisions (source: the provided social media post). Until an official press release or university news page confirms the partnership, funding amount, and RLUSD usage, traders should avoid initiating or sizing positions based solely on this claim and instead set alerts for Ripple’s newsroom and UC Berkeley announcements to validate catalysts before assessing any potential impact on XRP or RLUSD liquidity and ecosystem activity.
