【Crypto World】Another good news is here. Ripple has received preliminary approval for an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license from the Luxembourg financial regulator CSSF. This is not just a piece of paper, but a key to opening the EU market — through the “passport” mechanism, Ripple can officially provide regulated stablecoin and digital asset payment services across the entire European Union.

Once the news broke, XRP did not disappoint investors, soaring to $2.14, an increase of nearly 4%. It’s worth noting that not long ago, Ripple also obtained a similar regulatory license in the UK. Continuous approvals in the European market reveal Ripple’s confidence in its compliance strategy — viewing regulation not as a cost but as a competitive barrier. While the entire Web3 ecosystem is still exploring how to cooperate with regulators, Ripple has already turned compliance into its own advantage.

What about the Luxembourg license? I've heard too many compliant narratives from Ripple. The real implementation still depends on what happens next.

Ripple played this hand really well, using compliance as a chip... But speaking of which, isn't a 4% increase a bit sluggish? This time, XRP needs to surge to $3 to really take off.

Ripple is really playing this round, turning regulation into a moat... While other projects are still hiding, they've already taken the initiative to embrace it. The mindset is different.

Based on the data approved by the CSSF, this wave indeed has significance. An EMI license is not only regulatory recognition but more importantly, it opens up the payment channels across the 27 EU countries—legally speaking, this effectively turns Ripple's compliance costs into a competitive moat. The 4% increase is somewhat conservative; considering the overall entry barriers for traditional finance have been directly lowered... it is worth continuously monitoring whether this will trigger institutional-level allocation demands.

Ripple's move was truly brilliant; compliance has instead become a moat. While other projects are still avoiding regulation, they've already turned it into a competitive advantage. I need to learn this mindset.
