Ripple (XRP) Has Closed 10 Major Deals This Year: Here’s the Scoreboard for Each Partnership Sam Daodu Mon, May 11, 2026 at 1:31 AM GMT+7 7 min read JPM XRP-USD MA Quick Read Ripple closed 10 major deals in 2026, with Deutsche Bank ($1.6T), Société Générale ($1.8T), JPMorgan, and Mastercard’s $9 trillion payment network among the heavyweights. Yet XRP is down 41% from its January peak of $2.42.
Three deals didn’t touch XRPL at all, and the seven that did still settled in stablecoins like RLUSD. XRP’s only role was paying network fees—even on the year’s most consequential deal, which is the May 6 JPMorgan-Mastercard-Ondo pilot.
The CLARITY Act could flip the scoreboard. If the Senate Banking Committee passes the markup on May 14, XRP would become a legitimate settlement asset for institutions. Until then, the Ripple’s deal will keep growing while the XRP price keeps stalling.
