SBI Ripple Asia Teams Up with Doppler Finance to Explore XRP Yield Farming and RWA Tokenization
**December 17: SBI Ripple Asia, Doppler Finance Sign MoU to Explore XRP Yield, RWA Tokenization on XRPL**
SBI Ripple Asia and XRPL-native yield protocol Doppler Finance have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly develop interest-bearing XRP products and tokenize real-world assets (RWAs) on the XRP Ledger (XRPL).
This marks the first collaboration between SBI Ripple Asia and an XRPL-native yield protocol. The partners will focus on building a compliance-focused, transparent yield infrastructure for institutional clients—pushing XRP’s evolution from a payment asset to a yield-generating financial instrument. Doppler Finance will provide the on-chain yield framework, while SBI Digital Markets (regulated by Singapore’s Monetary Authority of Singapore, MAS) will act as an institutional-grade custodian, offering segregated asset custody services.

Tether Launches Decentralized Peer-to-Peer Cryptographic Key Management Tool PearPass
On December 17, stablecoin issuer Tether launched PearPass—a peer-to-peer (P2P) password manager app where all account credentials are stored **only locally on users’ devices** (no cloud servers involved), fundamentally eliminating the risk of centralized data leaks.
Tether noted PearPass uses end-to-end encryption and a point-to-point sync architecture: device-to-device data sync is fully controlled by users’ own keys, with no need for third-party infrastructure or intermediaries. The tool supports local credential storage, password generation, multi-device P2P sync, and a user-controlled key recovery system—directly addressing the vulnerability of traditional cloud-based password managers to targeted attacks.
PearPass is the **first open-source app** under Tether’s decentralized Pears technology ecosystem, designed to deliver a more censorship-resistant, resilient digital security infrastructure. It’s now freely available across mainstream platforms.

**K33: Long-Term Bitcoin Holder Selling Pressure Nearing Saturation**
Research and brokerage firm K33 noted in a report published yesterday that selling pressure from long-term Bitcoin holders is approaching saturation after years of distribution, with on-chain selling pressure expected to ease gradually.
K33 research director Vetle Lunde said that since 2024, the supply of Bitcoin held for over two years has been steadily declining: roughly 1.6 million BTC (valued at ~$138 billion at current prices) has been reactivated and flowed into the market, reflecting ongoing on-chain selling by early holders.
