Mastercard Joins XRP Hackathon as 21Shares Tweaks XRP ETF Pricing
A recent update from the XRP Ledger Foundation welcomed Mastercard to a hackathon taking place just ahead of the major conference, Ripple Swell. This event marks stronger institutional engagement and potential developer activity on the XRP Ledger.
The hackathon is part of a series of events that will take place before the Ripple Swell conference. The involvement of Mastercard, which has a long history with Ripple, is seen as a positive sign for the adoption of XRP technology in traditional finance (TradFi).
In related news, 21Shares's XRP ETF has changed how it prices the underlying token amid renewed inflows into all such funds. This change could affect ETF NAV tracking, liquidity, and broader crypto market impact.
