Ripple received final approval from the OCC to operate a national trust bank covering reserves for its $2.5 billion RLUSD stablecoin and enterprise digital asset custody, but XRP token holders are excluded from direct benefits. Despite RLUSD supply growing 86% since January, XRP's price has fallen 37%, highlighting token holders' limited gain from the charter.

Ripple's new bank charter opens enterprise stablecoin custody markets while leaving XRP holders sidelined. You need to rethink token utility and customer focus beyond XRP to seize trust banking opportunities.
