Important Ripple (XRP) Announcement for July 4: Details
As the world’s most powerful economy and the widely regarded leader of the free world celebrates its 250th Independence Day, various initiatives are emerging to contribute in some way, including one from Ripple.
The company behind the popular XRP altcoin announced that it has joined a nonprofit helping unemployed veterans to get high-quality jobs after their military service.
The organization, called Call of Duty Endowment, said it has already funded over 165,000 veterans, but explained that there’s still a high unemployment rate among the younger generation, which means that there’s “still more work to do.”
It wants to find jobs for 200,000 veterans by 2030, and Ripple has joined the special initiative for the 250th birthday of the US, called Giving4th.
The idea is to make Independence Day a national day of charitable giving. The company said it will match donations made to the Call of Duty Endowment of up to $10,000.
People who want to participate can use cash, stock, or cryptocurrencies, including Ripple’s two native tokens, XRP and RLUSD.
Ripple is joining #Giving4th — @America250‘s new movement to make Independence Day a national day of charitable giving.
We’re matching donations to @CODE4Vets up to $10K. CODE funds the most effective organizations helping veterans get back to work, preparing them for the job…

No Need to Worry About the Cooling Down of AI Data Center Construction? The US Import Boom Is Unlikely to Subside in the Short Term, Real Impact May Come in 2029
It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.
Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?
The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
