UK picks Barclays executive Katharine Braddick to run Bank of England banking watchdog

UK picks Barclays executive Katharine Braddick to run Bank of England banking watchdog

Britain tapped Barclays executive Katharine Braddick on Friday to take over as the Bank of England's deputy governor for prudential regulation, handing her the reins at the Prudential Regulation Authority. “Katharine Braddick is an accomplished pro-business leader with the experience to keep our financial system safe while backing the investment and lending that drives growth,” finance minister Rachel Reeves said. Braddick’s five-year term begins July 1, succeeding Sam Woods. She joined Barclays in 2022, following stints at the Treasury, the former Financial Services Authority, and the Association of British Insurers. The PRA occupies a quietly crucial corner of finance, scrutinizing whether banks and insurers have what it takes to weather stress. It’s also behind the rules on capital buffers—the surplus cash firms are required to keep handy in case they need to soak up losses.

Ripple’s XRP Ledger funding gets a 2026 shake-up — with a “hybrid DAO” and new builder hub

Ripple’s XRP Ledger funding gets a 2026 shake-up — with a “hybrid DAO” and new builder hub

Ripple said it will overhaul how funding and support are routed to developers building on the XRP Ledger in 2026, shifting toward a more distributed model that leans on independent groups and a new “hybrid” governance body. The company said it has deployed more than $550 million into XRPL ecosystem initiatives since 2017. The shift matters because developer grants and mentoring have become a front-line battleground for blockchains chasing real-world use, from payments to asset tokenization. Crypto news sites flagged the change as XRP traded in a narrow range, with investors looking for clearer drivers beyond day-to-day market swings.
