Tonight on On The Chain, we break down major developments around XRP, Ripple, and the Flare Network as crypto infrastructure begins powering the next generation of global payments and digital assets. Mastercard has launched a Crypto Partner Program with more than 85 companies, signaling that traditional financial institutions are accelerating toward blockchain-based payment networks.
