Ferrari Embraces Cryptocurrency Payments

Ferrari has announced that it will now accept cryptocurrency payments for its luxury cars. Customers in the U.S. can use Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and XRP, among others, via BitPay, their chosen payment processor. There will be no additional costs for using cryptocurrencies. Ferrari plans to explore extending this option to European customers if demand grows.

Ripple's XRPL Tokenization Timeline

Ripple's CTO, David Schwartz, has outlined the benefits of the XRP Ledger for launching tokenized real-world assets (RWA). The platform's low fees and seamless integration with on-chain exchange mechanisms make it ideal for such projects. Schwartz anticipates the launch of RWA tokenization projects on the XRP Ledger within the next year to a year and a half.

Shiba Inu's Enigmatic Update

Shiba Inu's lead, Shytoshi Kusama, has sparked curiosity with a cryptic post on the X platform, featuring lyrics from Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood." This could suggest potential collaborations with the Bad Idea AI team or be linked to pop culture events. Notably, BitPay's recent collaboration allows the crypto community to purchase tickets for the Taylor Swift Eras Tour movie using SHIB, DOGE, XRP, and other cryptocurrencies.

XRP's Inclusion in Hong Kong's Top Crypto Index

XRP has achieved a significant milestone by being included in the Hong Kong Virtual Asset Consortium's (HKVAC) Cryptocurrency Global Large Top5 Index. Holding a 6.94% share, XRP joins the ranks of top digital currencies alongside Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Tether (USDT), each with a 15% share. This achievement follows Ripple's recent legal victory over the SEC, affirming XRP's nonsecurity status.
