Ripple partners with major banks and Mastercard’s $9 trillion payment network
Ripple has closed 10 major deals in Q1 2026, including partnerships with Deutsche Bank and Mastercard’s $9 trillion payment network.
The company’s deal with JPMorgan is considered one of the most consequential.
Despite these deals, XRP is down 41% from its January peak of $2.42, trading at $1.40.
The CLARITY Act could change XRP’s role in these partnerships, potentially making it a legitimate settlement asset for institutions.
