Mastercard deepens its ties to the Ripple ecosystem right as XRP ETF flows show signs of life again. The token is still nowhere near its old highs, but the combination of institutional plumbing and fresh capital rotation is enough to put XRP back on trading desks’ watchlists this week.
The XRP Ledger Foundation confirmed Mastercard as a sponsor of the XRP Ledger Hackathon, a 36-hour event running October 24-25 ahead of Ripple Swell 2026 (October 27-29). The Foundation called the payments giant’s involvement “thrilled,” worthy news, framing the decade-old XRP network as “ideally suited for payment use cases.”
