<p><strong>Ripple Labs</strong> has received regulatory approval from the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) for its RLUSD stablecoin, marking a significant step forward in its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/ripple-xrp-price-prediction">cryptocurrency market expansion</a>.</p>
<p>The new stablecoin, pegged to the US dollar, forms part of Ripple&#8217;s strategy to strengthen its ecosystem and capitalize on the growing demand for stablecoins, which analysts predict will reach a $2 trillion market cap by 2028.</p>
<p><strong>Regulatory Approval Paves The Way for RLUSD</strong></p>
<p>Ripple CEO <strong>Brad Garlinghouse</strong> Tuesday <a href="https://x.com/bgarlinghouse/status/1866571228464460215">announced </a>the approval on <strong>X</strong> (formerly Twitter), confirming that RLUSD listings on exchanges and partner platforms will follow soon.</p>
<p>"When RLUSD is live, you'll hear it from Ripple first," Garlinghouse stated. </p>
<p>The approval from NYDFS ensures that the stablecoin complies with stringent regulatory standards, allowing Ripple to operate within New York&#8217;s robust financial framework. </p>
<p>RLUSD has already undergone testing on the XRP Ledger and Ethereum blockchain, setting the stage for its imminent launch.</p>

<p>XRP, now the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has seen a year-to-date surge of 286%, significantly outperforming both <strong>Bitcoin </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and <strong>Ethereum </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>). XRP is up 9% over the past hour at the time of writing.</p>
<p><strong>Shivam Thakral</strong>, CEO of <strong>BuyUcoin</strong>, attributes the recent 40% price surge in XRP to a more favorable regulatory climate under the Trump administration and expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut. </p>
<p>&#8220;Investor confidence is buoyed by Ripple's ecosystem expansion and market inflows,&#8221; Thakral added.</p>
<p><strong>Ryan Lee</strong>, Chief Analyst at <strong>Bitget Research</strong>, emphasized the impact of Ripple's ongoing legal battle with the SEC on market sentiment. </p>
<p>&#8220;Any favorable developments, such as Gary Gensler&#8217;s resignation or a settlement, could further drive XRP's price,&#8221; Lee noted.</p>
<p>Market analyst <strong>Alex Kuptsikevich</strong> of <strong>FxPro </strong>highlighted XRP&#8217;s stabilization at $2.6, a price level not seen since 2018. While he cautioned about potential corrections, Kuptsikevich pointed to the possibility of XRP-related ETFs as a future catalyst for growth.</p>

<h3>About Eaton Corp</h3>
<p>Founded in 1911 by Joseph Eaton, the eponymous company began by selling truck axles in New Jersey. Eaton has since become an industrial powerhouse largely through acquisitions in various end markets. Eaton's portfolio can broadly be divided into two parts: its electrical and industrial businesses. Its electrical portfolio (representing around 70% of company revenue) sells components within data centers, utilities, and commercial and residential buildings, while its industrial business (30% of revenue) sells components within commercial and passenger vehicles and aircraft. Eaton receives favorable tax treatment as a domiciliary of Ireland, but it generates over half of its revenue within the US.</p>

<p><strong>Trader Notes: </strong>With Bitcoin prices dropping, crypto trader Jelle stated that whether there is volatility or not, "Tuesdays are for taking profit." He revealed reducing his crypto exposure by 1.4% today and <a href="https://x.com/CryptoJelleNL/status/1866474442093986210">predicts</a> higher prices and "simply continue to scale out on the way up." </p>
<p>In another tweet, he compared the current price action below $100,000 to the one below $20,000 in 2020.</p>
<p>He <a href="https://x.com/CryptoJelleNL/status/1866556622925074935">believes</a> that currently the market is in the second half of that structure and is curious "if it plays out the same."</p>
<p>Providing a optimistic outlook, crypto trader Ali Martinez predicts Bitcoin to reach $275,000 based on a technical pattern.</p>

Watching U.S. Steel Corp.; Shares Spike Lower As Traders Circulate Biden Set To Kill Nippon Steel Purchase Of The Co

<p>In a<a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/how-to-be-stronger-than-you-have-ever-been"> recent Women &amp; Money podcast</a> episode, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42249101/my-85-year-old-mother-has-dementia-and-loves-going-to-the-casino-suze-orman-advises-on-how-to-handle-the-situation">Suze Orman</a> addressed a deeply personal and challenging question from a listener named Cecilia. The topic: financial responsibilities between parents and children, particularly when parents have a history of financial irresponsibility.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Cecilia's heartfelt email described a lifetime of dealing with her parents' <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/06/39416286/56-year-old-lost-150-000-life-savings-when-she-followed-a-friends-investment-advice-now-she-cant">poor financial decisions</a> and their ongoing requests for money, leaving her torn between guilt and resentment.</p>
<p><strong>Don't Miss:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"><strong> </strong><strong>How do you compare</strong></a>?</strong></li>
<li><strong>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"><strong> The percentage may shock you</strong></a>.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Cecilia explained that her parents were financially irresponsible throughout her childhood, even taking money from her savings. Decades later, the pattern persists – her parents continue to ask for financial help, judging her for having &#8220;more&#8221; than they do. Despite her attempts to guide them toward better financial habits, her efforts have been in vain. She feels trapped.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"If I don&#8217;t give, I can feel guilty and if I do give, then I feel taken advantage of and like I&#8217;m perpetuating an endless cycle," Cecilia wrote. With her <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41555075/millennials-and-gen-z-rely-on-parents-for-financial-support-survey-finds-its-costing-them-their-">parents nearing retirement</a> without a sufficient financial cushion, Cecilia asked Orman if she had an obligation to support them.</p>
<p>Orman tackled Cecilia's question head-on, emphasizing that parents have a fundamental responsibility to care for and financially support their children, not the other way around. She pointed out that Cecilia's parents' actions, while hurtful, inadvertently taught her financial responsibility by showing her what not to do.</p>
<p><strong>See Also: Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/warren-buffet-make-money-when-you-sleep"><strong> </strong><strong>Here&#8217;s how you can earn passive income with just $100.</strong></a></strong></p>
<p>"It seems like they did a pretty good job with you," Orman stated. "Because you saw by their behavior how you did not want to do that." She suggested that Cecilia's childhood experiences might have driven her to become the financially successful woman she is today. Orman also referenced her book The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom and explained how early money memories, like parents taking a child's savings, often have lasting impressions on how individuals handle money in adulthood.</p>
<p>Orman and her wife, KT, agreed that a child is not obligated to provide financial support to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/40001551/do-i-have-to-support-my-financially-irresponsible-75-year-old-mother-suze-ormans-take-on-priorit">irresponsible parents</a>. KT offered her perspective, contrasting Cecilia's situation with her upbringing. She shared how her parents' financial responsibility made helping them later in life a joy, not a burden. "We never felt that we were responsible because they never put us in that position," KT explained.</p>
<p>For Cecilia, Orman stressed the need to establish firm boundaries. "You have got to take care of yourself first," she said, urging Cecilia to recognize that giving money to her parents in their current state is not helping them – it's perpetuating their dependence.</p>
<p><strong>Trending: Many are using this retirement income calculator to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"><strong> </strong><strong>here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</strong></a></strong></p>
<p>Orman offered Cecilia and others in similar situations some actionable advice:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Communicate Clearly</strong>: Sit down with her parents and lovingly but firmly explain that the "Bank of Cecilia" is closed. While she might provide essentials like food, financial handouts will no longer be an option.</li>
<li><strong>Focus on Tough Love</strong>: Allowing her parents to face the consequences of their financial choices might be the only way to prompt change. Orman noted that financial transformation often occurs only after hitting rock bottom.</li>
<li><strong>Reframe the Guilt</strong>: Orman told Cecilia to remember that she prioritizes her well-being by refusing to enable her parents' behavior – a critical step in maintaining her self-respect and financial health.</li>
</ol>
<p>Orman's advice to Cecilia serves as a powerful reminder that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/09/41080499/you-never-ask-me-for-money-again-kevin-oleary-explains-instead-of-investing-in-family-members-busine">financial obligations within families</a> are complex but must be rooted in mutual respect and responsibility. For children in similar situations, setting boundaries isn't an act of selfishness – it's a step toward fostering healthier relationships and protecting personal financial stability.</p>
