Wall Street just chose XRL. Here’s what it means for XRP
The DTCC settles every stock and bond trade on Wall Street and processes $2.5

XRP handles the liquidity and cross-border settlement between counterparties. The DTCC choosing a public blockchain also validates the entire category at the institutional level, opening the door for other institutions to consider XRPL for their own use cases. Here is exactly how the two networks fit together and what the DTCC announcement means for both.
