Ah, the Nasdaq Tower, that gleaming beacon of capitalism, recently played host to Ripple, not because they’d discovered a new way to turn pigeons into gold coins, but to celebrate their induction as a “Builder” in the Pledge 1% network. Yes, on Giving Tuesday-that magical day when everyone remembers they have a heart-Ripple was splashed across the tower like a wizard’s spell gone right. 🧙♂️✨
Apparently, Ripple has chucked over $250 million at nonprofits and universities. That’s right, they’ve been throwing money around like a drunk bard with a pouch of gold. And why? Because they’ve joined the Pledge 1% movement, where companies promise to give away 1% of their equity, time, product, or profit to social causes. Generous? Or just trying to avoid the Auditors of Reality? You decide. 🤔💰
One of our newest Builders @Ripple has leveraged their Pledge 1% program to engage their team and donate more than $250M to nonprofits and universities globally. #Pledge1 #GivingTuesday #Pledge1Gives #Nasdaq

Ripple’s Charitable Shenanigans
Ripple, not content with just being a blockchain behemoth, has concocted a philanthropic arm called Ripple Impact (formerly “Ripple for Good”). Because, let’s face it, “for Good” sounds like a knight’s quest, and who doesn’t love a good quest? 🛡️🐉
Their $250 million in donations isn’t just for show-it’s part of a grand strategy to use blockchain to fix the world’s problems. Because if there’s one thing the world needs, it’s more tech wizards waving their wands at structural issues. 🧙♂️🔧
The crown jewel of their philanthropy is the University Blockchain Research Initiative (UBRI), launched in 2018. This is where the big bucks go-over $80 million to academia, partnering with 80 universities worldwide. Because nothing says “future-proof” like teaching students to blockchain their way out of a paper bag. 📚🚀
But Ripple isn’t just about long-term wizardry. They’ve also thrown money at immediate relief efforts, like the Turkey-Syria earthquakes. And in 2022, they pledged $100 million to scale voluntary carbon markets. Because saving the planet is the ultimate side quest. 🌍🦸♂️
So, there you have it. Ripple, shining bright on the Nasdaq Tower, not just for their tech, but for their heart of gold (or at least, their very large wallet). Now, if only they could blockchain a solution to my never-ending quest for more tea. 🍵🤷♂️
