Ripple CEO Reveals What People Get Wrong About XRP

4 min read

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse revealed how people still confuse Ripple with XRP. The Ripple CEO noted that Ripple is the company, while XRP is a token, which they happen to hold a lot of. This has usually led to criticisms that XRP is centralized because of the significant amount of XRP Ripple holds. 

Amid criticism of Ripple’s XRP holdings, Paydax Protocol (PDP) has emerged as a community-powered decentralized finance (DeFi) platform revolutionizing the finance space with its peer-to-peer (P2P) lending feature. Investors are already buying the platform’s PDP token at $0.015 in stage one of its ongoing presale to gain access to the platform's novel offerings, with the Paydax Dapp v1.0 already live.

Paydax Is Uniting RWAs And Crypto Over Ripple’s XRP

Paydax Protocol (PDP) enables users to lend, borrow, and earn with both real-world assets (RWAs) and crypto assets. On the P2P lending platform, market participants, including XRP holders, can lend their assets and earn up to 15.2% annual percentage yield (APY). Paydax has also taken necessary steps to provide adequate protection for lenders.

  • Overcollateralized loans 

  • Redemption Pool that repays lenders in the event of a default 

  • Onfido’s verification system ensures that all borrowers are legitimate

  • Immutable smart contracts that eliminate the need for middlemen 

A Loan-To-Value (LTV) Ratio Of Up To 97%

Paydax Protocol’s (PDP) P2P lending offers borrowers loan-to-value ratios of up to 97% for both RWA and crypto loans. This means that, for example, an XRP holder with up $1 million worth of XRP can unlock $970,000 in fresh liquidity, which they can use for other opportunities in the crypto space. Paydax boasts several notable features that make it more appealing to users than other DeFi platforms.

  1. Transparent fee structures 

  2. Automated safeguards to reduce liquidation risks 

  3. Broad collateral support, including blue-chip cryptos such as Bitcoin and XRP, and RWAs such as gold.

  4. Fixed interest rates of between 5% and 7%

  5. Simple vault system for borrowers to access instant liquidity 

Borrowing on Paydax is very straightforward. Borrowers simply deposit their collateral into the LendingPool and then borrow against it. For RWAs, Paydax collaborates with Sotheby’s and Brinks to bring these assets on-chain and use them as collateral. 

An Opportunity To Earn Yields 

In addition to borrowing and lending, Paydax Protocol (PDP) enables users to earn competitive yields. 

  • Protocol staking (up to 6% APY)

  • DeFi vault staking (up to 6% APY)

  • Redemption pool staking (up to 15.2% APY)

  • Leveraged yield farming (up to 41.25% APY)

The PDP Token Provides Access

Paydax’s native token is the key to unlocking all these opportunities on the platform, which is why investors are buying the token at its low entry price of $0.015. Those who purchase the token can start lending, borrowing, and earning on the Paydax Dapp v1.0. There are also other benefits of holding the PDP token, including:

  • Access to lower borrowing rates 

  • Fee sharing, with 40% of fees distributed to PDP stakers

  • Stability Pool rewards for those who stake in the Pool

  • Direct access to P2P lending opportunities

Meanwhile, it is worth noting that the PDP token is well decentralized and unlike XRP, which Ripple has majority control over. Most of the tokens will be community-owned, as 40% of the token’s 10 billion supply is allocated to the presale. Only 8% of the token’s supply is allocated to the team. 

The Paydax Protocol (PDP) token also has a more limited supply than the likes of XRP, which could easily create a supply shock as PDP’s demand skyrockets. With Paydax building the first fully on-chain financial system, there is no doubt about the PDP’s utility and its upside trajectory. The presale is an opportunity to gain bragging rights in the project from the onset.

Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future

The post Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. “It’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress,” writes Pipes. Getty Images Washington is addicted to taxing success. Now, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is floating a plan to skim half the patent earnings from inventions developed at universities with federal funding. It’s being sold as a way to shore up programs like Social Security. In reality, it’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress. Yes, taxpayer dollars support early-stage research. But the real payoff comes later—in the jobs created, cures discovered, and industries launched when universities and private industry turn those discoveries into real products. By comparison, the sums at stake in patent licensing are trivial. Universities collectively earn only about $3.6 billion annually in patent income—less than the federal government spends on Social Security in a single day. Even confiscating half would barely register against a $6 trillion federal budget. And yet the damage from such a policy would be anything but trivial. The true return on taxpayer investment isn’t in licensing checks sent to Washington, but in the downstream economic activity that federally supported research unleashes. Thanks to the bipartisan Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, universities and private industry have powerful incentives to translate early-stage discoveries into real-world products. Before Bayh-Dole, the government hoarded patents from federally funded research, and fewer than 5% were ever licensed. Once universities could own and license their own inventions, innovation exploded. The result has been one of the best returns on investment in government history. Since 1996, university research has added nearly $2 trillion to U.S. industrial output, supported 6.5 million jobs, and launched more than 19,000 startups. Those companies pay…

Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto

Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto

The post Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement &nbsp &nbsp Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed a $4 billion at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program with the U.S. SEC  to raise more capital for additional SOL accumulation. Forward Strategies Doubles Down On Solana Strategy In a Wednesday press release, Forward Industries revealed that the 4 billion ATM equity offering program will allow the company to issue and sell common stock via Cantor Fitzgerald under a sales agreement dated Sept. 16, 2025. Forward said proceeds will go toward “general corporate purposes,” including the pursuit of its Solana balance sheet and purchases of income-generating assets. The sales of the shares are covered by an automatic shelf registration statement filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that is already effective – meaning the shares will be tradable once they’re sold. An automatic shelf registration allows certain publicly listed companies to raise capital with flexibility swiftly.  Kyle Samani, Forward’s chairman, astutely described the ATM offering as “a flexible and efficient mechanism” to raise and deploy capital for the company’s Solana strategy and bolster its balance sheet.  Advertisement &nbsp Though the maximum amount is listed as $4 billion, the firm indicated that sales may or may not occur depending on existing market conditions. “The ATM Program enhances our ability to continue scaling that position, strengthen our balance sheet, and pursue growth initiatives in alignment with our long-term vision,” Samani said. Forward Industries kicked off its Solana treasury strategy on Sept. 8. The Wednesday S-3 form follows Forward’s $1.65 billion private investment in public equity that closed last week, led by crypto heavyweights like Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital. The company started deploying that capital this week, announcing it snatched up 6.8 million SOL for approximately $1.58 billion at an average price of $232…
