The plan advocates a crypto reserve, with Bitcoin as the primary asset and Solana and Cardano in supporting roles.
The proposal includes a 24-month rollout or a fast-track approach relying on executive orders.

A new proposal by Maximilian Staudinger suggests using XRP
to unlock $1.5 trillion trapped in US banks' Nostro accounts. Nostro accounts
hold pre-funded money to facilitate cross-border payments. Globally, these
accounts contain about $27 trillion, with $5 trillion linked to American banks.
Meanwhile, the XRPUSD H1 chart shows the price is currently
near a level where it faced resistance twice. If this level continues to act as
resistance, intraday sellers could push the price lower.

Proposal for XRP in Financial Transactions
Staudinger's proposal outlines XRP’s role in reducing
capital constraints in banking. He suggests that replacing traditional Nostro
accounts with XRP settlements would free up liquidity. This would allow the
government to redirect funds toward a national cryptocurrency reserve, Coinfomania
reported.
He proposes that Bitcoin be the primary reserve asset, with
Solana and Cardano playing secondary roles. However, he maintains that XRP
should be the primary tool for processing transactions due to its speed and
cost-effectiveness.
He also suggests that XRP could be integrated into US
government financial systems. This includes processing payments such as Social
Security and tax refunds. According to Staudinger, using XRP could accelerate
these transactions and lower associated costs.

Regulatory Challenges and Implementation Plans
Staudinger’s proposal faces regulatory challenges, as the
US Securities and Exchange Commission has not provided a clear
classification for XRP. Without this clarity, its use in government and banking
remains uncertain. Staudinger has called for the SEC to designate XRP as a
payment asset to support broader adoption.
The proposal suggests two possible implementation
strategies: a standard 24-month rollout requiring regulatory approvals and bank
integration or a faster approach within 6 to 12 months, relying on executive
orders and Federal Reserve involvement. While legal and regulatory barriers
remain, the proposal has prompted discussions on digital assets in government
financial systems.
Ripple Expands with New Partnerships, Custody Solutions,
and Strategic Moves
Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, recently
discussed cryptocurrencies' role in US strategic reserves. This follows an
executive order by President Trump, listing Bitcoin and altcoins like Ethereum,
XRP, Solana, and Cardano. In a Fox Business interview, Saylor addressed digital
asset regulation and suggested that XRP should be issued under a regulatory framework.
Ripple donated $100,000 in XRP to aid California wildfire
victims, supporting organizations like World Central Kitchen and GiveDirectly
via The Giving Block.
In Japan, Ripple expects banks to adopt XRP Ledger by 2025
for better cross-border payments. In DeFi, Ripple is working with Chainlink to
integrate RLUSD into Ethereum-based trading and lending applications.

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
