Europe’s financial landscape is evolving and the euro is officially going onchain.

In this episode of Block Stars, Ripple CTO David Schwartz sits down with Martin Bruncko, Co-Founder and CEO of Schuman Financial, to discuss the launch of EURØP — the first fully compliant, euro-backed stablecoin on the XRP Ledger (XRPL).
Together, they explore what this milestone means for the future of global payments, stablecoin regulation, and Europe’s growing role in digital finance.
What to expect:
• Why the euro matters onchain — and what EURØP means for Europe’s competitiveness
• How Schuman Financial is bridging traditional finance and DeFi through compliant innovation
• XRPL’s unique role in enabling institutional-grade stablecoins with speed, low cost, and interoperability
• How stablecoins like EURØP and RLUSD are redefining cross-border payments and tokenized assets
• What’s next for Europe’s digital economy under MiCA regulation

In this episode of On-Chain Economy, we sit down with Eduardo Morrison, Co-Founder of Schuman Financial, to explore how the euro is coming onchain through EURØP, a MiCA-compliant, euro-backed stablecoin issued on the XRP Ledger (XRPL).

Eduardo shares Schuman’s journey, from an M&A transaction in France to secure an EMI license, to live integrations with banking partners like Société Générale, Banking Circle, and ABN AMRO. Together with Ripple, Schuman is building institutional-grade infrastructure for cross-border payments, corporate treasury, and tokenized finance across Europe.'

What does it take to build the future of decentralized infrastructure—and why does the XRP Ledger’s new EVM sidechain matter?

In this episode of Onchain Economy, Arthur Sabintsev, CEO of Grove, shares how his team is helping decentralize and scale the XRPL EVM through robust, permissionless infrastructure. From supporting RPC access to validating the network’s Proof of Authority system, Grove is ensuring XRPL EVM can meet the demands of a truly multi-chain world.

Arthur explains why the XRP asset—institutional-grade and now programmable—is uniquely positioned to power real-world DeFi use cases. He also explores how autonomous agents and smart contracts will rely on XRPL’s native assets like XRP and RLUSD to settle the transactions of tomorrow.

DeFi needs credit origination, compliance, and scale to truly replicate traditional finance. In this episode of Onchain Economy, RippleX Product Director Jazzi Cooper breaks down how XRPL is delivering exactly that with new features like:
• Multi-Purpose Tokens (MPTs): A flexible token standard built for real-world assets.
• Permissioned DEX: A compliance-ready decentralized exchange powered by credentials.
• Native Lending Protocol: Bringing credit origination onchain with institutional safeguards.
Learn how these building blocks work together to enable leverage, settlement, and collateral management—while setting the stage for the next wave of institutional DeFi on XRPL.

Can institutional adoption and decentralization really work together? Ripple CTO and XRPL co-creator David Schwartz thinks so. In this first episode of Onchain Economy, Schwartz explains why DeFi and TradFi aren’t at odds—and how tokenized real-world assets, onchain credit, and decentralized exchanges are creating financial products people actually want.
Discover why institutions are turning to neutral, decentralized blockchains like XRPL, and why this shift could drive massive growth in the onchain economy.

Tokenized treasuries. Real commercial utility. Onchain access.

Ondo Finance’s Nathan Allman shares why OUSG on the XRPL, settled seamlessly with RLUSD, is a milestone for institutions.

This is how tokenization goes mainstream. Learn more at ripple.com.

Michael Feng, co-founder of Hummingbot, presents XRPLiquid, a new dApp launching at XRPL Apex that enhances XRPL market liquidity through structured market maker incentives. Learn how you can register with your Xaman wallets, earn points for filling orders in certain trading pairs, and claim weekly rewards via Checks. The demo will also showcase how traders can leverage the open-source Hummingbot framework to participate in the rewards program, and how the XRPLiquid backend system verifies and records their on-chain trading activity.

An introduction to unlocking XRP yields. Staking has become a common phenomenon in crypto which allows users to provide security to a chain or an actively validated service in order to earn yield. In this session, we will cover the history of staking/restaking and how Flare is leveraging trusted execution environments to securely allow XRP to be staked. The presentation will also explore use cases for liquid staking tokens on chain and potential validated services to be secured.

Relief aid can be distributed to communities affected by civil contingencies in the form of material assistance such as food or blankets, or cash and voucher assistance (CVA). CVA is currently distributed physically as cash or as vouchers. Given the time sensitive nature of a civil emergency, CVA should be (i) fast; (ii) direct - no middle men; (iii) safe; (iv) low cost; and (v) immediate. In this presentation, I show how the XRP Ledger, which ticks the boxes of the desiderata for bulk distribution of CVA relief aid, can be used to distribute CVA by using stablecoins and a WhatsApp wallet linked to the receivers mobile phone number.

In addition, I carry out a demonstration of the Mandla Money bulk payments web platform which utilises the XRP Ledger to create bulk payment transactions to multiple recipients at the click of a button, and provided end-to-end traceability.
