What we drew from this source

The claims Via News extracted from this document. We point to the source; we don't replace it.

  • XRP is down approximately 41% since January 2026, with almost every Ripple deal announcement followed by a price decline.

    60% confidence
  • Convera's $190 billion payment network runs on Ripple's stablecoin sandwich model: fiat in, RLUSD in the middle, and fiat out.

    60% confidence
  • Only 40% of RippleNet's over 300 global partners use On-Demand Liquidity, the only Ripple product that uses XRP as a settlement asset.

    60% confidence
  • A cross-border tokenized Treasury transaction on XRPL settled in under five seconds, but XRP's role was only to pay the network fee—a fraction of a cent.

    60% confidence
  • On-Demand Liquidity is the only Ripple product that actually uses XRP as a settlement asset, converting one currency into XRP, moving it across the XRP Ledger in seconds, and converting it into the destination currency on arrival.

    60% confidence
  • Across all ten Ripple deals in 2026, Ripple's infrastructure benefited greatly while XRP did not benefit from any of them.

    60% confidence
  • Seven of Ripple's 2026 deals used XRPL but settled in RLUSD, with XRP used only to pay tiny network fees averaging $0.0002 per transaction.

    60% confidence
  • Ripple has closed ten major partnerships in 2026 so far, including Deutsche Bank, Société Générale, JPMorgan, Mastercard, and Convera.

    60% confidence
  • None of the ten Ripple deals in 2026 created direct XRP demand.

    60% confidence
  • Three of Ripple's 2026 deals (Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan, Mastercard) did not touch the XRP Ledger at all.

    60% confidence

Agentic AI Rewires Enterprise Software: Platform Incumbents, Governance, and a Funded Startup Wave
Enterprise software is being rebuilt around autonomous AI agents. Incumbents and large platforms (SAP with its Autonomous Suite and Joule, Zeta with AthenaOS/AIM/Athena MCP, Meta with its new Enterprise Platform) are racing to own the agent layer. Meanwhile, seed and Series A money flows to finance-office and vertical startups (Dextr, Latitude, Dentira, Light), and consolidation continues through acquisitions (Tiny–Oso Cloud, Harvey–Guardrails AI). Investor commentary stresses that AI is better at disrupting around the edges of systems of record than at replacing them, that it should not be trusted with finance calculations, and that governance must be enforced by the system rather than left to agents.

Where sources disagree
ING Group
Both facts record the same metric (shares_outstanding) for ING Group at the identical observation date (2025-12-31). FACT A states 2,902,437,688 shares; FACT B states 2,902 million shares (2,902,000,000). The difference is 437,688 shares (~0.015%). This is a genuine value conflict, though the discrepancy appears to result from FACT B rounding to the nearest million while FACT A provides the precise count.
