The aim, which could be described as “less paper, more profit,” is to cut payment costs, trim settlement delays, and untangle a jungle of procedures that make export competitiveness feel like a sprint through custard. Ikuyo wants to cajole banks, trading houses, and fintechs into building a standardized, blockchain-based settlement infrastructure-basically a universal adapter for the money universe. 🚀
Now, the architects of this revolution-Secretary of State Frank LaRose and Treasurer Robert Sprague-have toiled and fussed for months, as if churning butter in the heat of summer, to bring forth this decision. And lo, here we are, dear reader! Ohio, the land of Buckeyes and rolling hills, stands with its arms wide open, like a parent welcoming a child home after a long journey. They’ve become one of the first states to take a leap into the wild waters of cryptocurrency-talk about a Saturday night out! 🎉

In a proclamation dated September 23, Ripple and Securitize unveiled a smart-contract ballet that permits the holders of BlackRock’s BUIDL and VanEck’s VBILL to exchange their shares for RLUSD, a mechanism they dub “an additional stablecoin off-ramp.” Ah, the poetry of finance! The firms extolled its ceaseless availability-“24/7”-and framed it as a fountain of programmable liquidity for compliant, on-chain investments. Securitize, ever the courtier, confirmed its integration with the XRP Ledger, promising to “expand access and bring new utility to the XRPL ecosystem.” 🌍
Kraken, in a move that would make even the most jaded political operative raise an eyebrow, has pledged $2 million to PACs defending crypto rights-because what better way to fight centralized tyranny than by throwing money at Washington? The exchange, with the subtlety of a squid in a fishbowl, will donate $1 million to the Freedom Fund PAC (a name so patriotic it practically comes with fireworks) and another million to America First Digital in 2025. Because nothing screams “decentralization” like PACs registered with the FEC. 🎆
