XRP Price Today: Ripple’s Australia License Push Keeps XRP Near $1.40
XRP hovered around $1.40 on Wednesday, slipping about 1.4% for the session. Ripple announced plans to snap up BC Payments Australia, aiming for an Australian Financial Services Licence. Trading action saw XRP shifting between $1.37 and $1.42. This shift carries weight as Australia steers digital-asset firms into the same licensing regime as traditional financial players, while Ripple keeps moving ahead with regulated cross-border payments outside the U.S. Back in November, Treasury outlined in its Digital Assets Framework Bill that digital-asset platforms would need to secure an AFSL. ASIC noted many providers are already required to hold a licence, offering no-action relief to the sector until June 30, 2026.
