- The suspect's former bunker leaked a ripple of the UBS NDA, referring to the possibility of “biometric identity mapping.”
- This is because the XRP ETF Greenlight and the $10 surge in market sentiment has also become more positive for XRP.
According to a post by a former banker operating under X's alias Lordbelgrave, Ripple could be involved in a project that is far more ambitious than cross-border payments. The whistleblower claims he leaked one of Ripple's non-nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) with UBS and pushed them inside. It was a detailed that could be reconfigured.
Biometric identity mapping refers to the process of linking a person's unique biological properties, such as fingerprinting, facial recognition, iris scans, and even speech patterns, into a secure digital identity that can be verified across the system. If this is done, KYC/AML compliance can be streamlined to CYC/AML compliance for banking by increasing privacy and surveillance-related concerns while enabling a borderless digital identity system that links directly to payments.
This suggests Ripple alignment with one of the hottest and most controversial frontiers in the digital identity of fintech linked to the global payments system.
Stellar Rippler highlighted in his analysis that Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has long been warning about the government using technology to enhance control of individual identity. At the time, most people assumed that his comments were directed exclusively at the CBDC. But if the NDA leak is real, Ripple could be building something wider. This is a system that links digital identity directly to payment infrastructure.
Healthcare XRP
XRP is quietly embedded in healthcare payments beyond finances. Previously, Crypto News Flash reported that WellGistics Health announced XRPL-driven payment systems for more than 6,500 US pharmacies, combining immediate settlements and compliance tracing. The company also plans to integrate XRP as a financial preparation and liquidity tool. Boasted by a credit line of $50 million in stock, the company is building a real-time payment infrastructure around XRP.
It's directly linked to what JPMorgan already said: “Digital Identity is the foundation of Web3.” And the World Economic Forum (WEF) goes further. In the Blockchain Toolkit, WEF laid out a blueprint that connects digital identity, compliance, regulatory tracking, and even integration with the healthcare and supply chain.
And ripples? They have their seats at that very table. Garlinghouse took photos with Christine Lagarde, IMF officials, quick executives like Chris Church, MAS leaders like its Chief Fintech officer Sopenendu, and even Ripple alumni who work within the IMF. He said, “A coincidence? Or was Ripple always the chosen rail for this 'Identity Health' merger? “I say it.
According to Stellar, the puzzle piece refers to one initiative: the DNA protocol of XRPL. On July 4th, BlackRock reported that it launched the XDNA ETF on the same day as Trump's “One Big Beautiful Bill,” cutting healthcare costs and unveiling an ecosystem of digital health technology. XDA focuses primarily on DNA, genomic infrastructure and health data investments.
The push of ripple into Africa makes more sense. The partnership with Chipper Cash, Onafriq and the expansion across the MENA region once looked like another payment play, but now the big picture is coming in as DNA protocols from African countries are onboarding the lab. The DNA protocol has already begun registration in Kenya, with 11 labs in Nigeria. This is just the early stages of a much broader deployment.
In particular, activities on the XRP ledger have been featured, with transactions rising 15% over the past month, bringing volumes to around $2.7 billion. XRP is trading at $2.94, a 2.28% decline in the last 24 hours, but traders are looking at their next potential target in the short term, ranging from $4.39 to $5.85.
