Episode Details

On October 5, XRP goes to war, and the weapon isn't a price pump. It's a key. The XRP Ledger's Permission Delegation upgrade has entered its 14-day activation countdown and could go live October 5 if validator support holds. Master keys stay locked in the vault. Delegates get a badge instead: up to ten specific permissions, and never the keys. Jeff and Chip break down why that's the feature compliance departments, stablecoin issuers and AI agents have been waiting for, while XRP sits at $1.50 and everybody else stares at red candles.

Also on the show: Amazon Web Services joins the XRP Ledger Hackathon with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore; the XRPL AI Starter Kit adds the Open Wallet Standard, MPP from Tempo and Stripe, and x402; Evernorth teams up with The Bear Champ; RLUSD and the APAC stablecoin map; BlackRock's "tokens" chart; the ECB's digital euro pilot; the FOUNDERS sitcom parody; and in the back half, Trump vs. Biden at the UN, Milei, Rubio and Cuba, the Denmark–Greenland deal, and Around the World.
