Crypto banking in Russia: Sberbank says it wants to accept BTC, ETH, and USDT as loan collateral once regulators allow public circulation, while payments remain restricted. XRP ETF momentum: XRP ETFs hit a new inflow high, but XRP still faces resistance after giving back part of August’s rally. Infrastructure: BitGo agreed to buy NYDIG’s institutional trading arm for $7M cash plus $35.5M in stock, expanding custody-to-trading coverage. Ethereum-linked RLUSD shift: Ripple’s RLUSD supply is growing faster on Ethereum than on XRPL, with Ethereum taking the lead again.
