Lately, XRP has been making important moves by integrating with ISO 20022, which could really streamline cross-border payments—faster and cheaper transfers look promising. The recent 500M XRP escrow and Ripple’s progress after the SEC case are also building investor confidence.
ETH is also ramping up, with Vitalik’s plan to boost scalability by 10x aiming to improve transaction speed and efficiency. SharpLink’s $1B investment and the new EIP-7702 upgrade show that innovation continues, even as developers work through security concerns.
Both projects highlight how blockchain tech keeps evolving, balancing growth and regulation. It’s interesting to watch how these updates shape the market ahead.
