Xora Finance has launched a decentralized neobank service built on the XRP Ledger that lets XRP holders deposit XRP and begin earning immediately. The service offers up to 15% native XRP annual yield, currently boosted by treasury-led incentives, with an estimated combined APY of about 22% when XORA token rewards are included. Rewards compound daily and re-tier automatically as balances change, with no staking transaction to sign, no minimum deposit and no lockup period. The platform also opened a bounty marketplace where users can earn XORA by completing lightweight tasks such as content, testing and community work without putting up capital.

The Swiss government has formally announced a 0% capital gains tax rate for $XRP. The change applies at the national level to individual and institutional taxpayers who hold, trade, or dispose of $XRP in Switzerland.

It does not involve an $XRP technical upgrade, exchange listing, or tokenomics changes, and is framed purely as a regulatory tax treatment optimization.

Ripple CTO David Schwartz said the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has continued to treat XRP as a security even after describing the token as “just code.” He said the agency’s posture has not meaningfully changed following Ripple’s partial court win in 2023, leaving XRP’s legal status unclear. The situation does not involve any new penalties, bans, or enforcement actions, but it has reinforced market perceptions of uncertainty around XRP’s compliance path, which could affect exchange listing decisions and the pace of institutional custody support.
