X Finance Bull, a crypto commentator on X, recently emphasized the scope of Ripple’s developments in January 2026, describing the month as “coordinated expansion. Not random news drops.” Over 31 days, Ripple achieved regulatory approvals, institutional partnerships, academic initiatives, exchange listings, and protocol upgrades. This trend illustrates a deliberate approach to building adoption across multiple sectors. Regulatory Approvals in the UK and EU Ripple began the month with key regulatory milestones. On January 9, the company announced it secured UK approvals, including an EMI license and Cryptoasset registration from the Financial Conduct Authority. This enables Ripple to expand its licensed payments platform in the United Kingdom. On January 14, the company received preliminary EMI approval in Luxembourg from the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF). This move has accelerated Ripple Payments’ expansion across the European Union. X Finance Bull noted that these approvals reflect strategic planning rather than isolated announcements.

Berkeley training developers. Treasury products launching. Protocol upgrades… pic.twitter.com/6dpWx1nq33 — X Finance Bull (@Xfinancebull) February 3, 2026 Academic and Developer Support Ripple also focused on nurturing developers. On January 16, the company launched UDAX in collaboration with the University of California, Berkeley. The program supports founders building on the XRP Ledger and involves Ripple engineers and XRPL core developers. Initiatives like this strengthen developer pipelines and ensure consistent innovation. Institutional Integration and Banking Partnerships Institutional adoption advanced with several partnerships. DXC Technology announced on January 21 a strategic integration of Ripple’s custody and payments technology into its Hogan core banking platform. The collaboration explicitly referenced digital asset custody, RLUSD, and payment functionality within banking operations. In the Middle East, Jeel revealed a partnership with Ripple on January 26 to enable cross-border payments and explore custody and tokenization use cases in Saudi Arabia. X Finance Bull highlighted that these moves demonstrate Ripple’s simultaneous expansion in Western and Middle Eastern banking infrastructures.

Between January 21 and 22, Binance announced it would list RLUSD and open spot trading pairs, including XRP/RLUSD. This development enhances liquidity for institutional and retail participants and supports broader adoption of XRPL assets. Protocol Upgrades and Treasury Products Technical advancements continued throughout the month. On January 27, Clio 2.7.0, the XRPL API server, was released alongside rippled 3.1.0, the reference XRPL server, introducing major protocol features and fixes. Additionally, GTreasury launched Ripple Treasury on January 27-28, aligning treasury operations across digital and traditional assets. These updates show the team continues to ship improvements while managing global partnerships and adoption efforts. While XRP’s price has yet to reflect this massive growth, many market participants believe that it’s only a matter of time.
