Ripple is the catchall name for the cryptocurrency platform, the transactional protocol for which is actually XRP, in the same fashion as Ethereum is the name for the platform that facilitates trades in Ether. Like other cryptocurrencies, Ripple is built atop the idea of a distributed ledger network which requires various parties to participate in validating transactions, rather than any singular centralized authority. That facilitates transactions all over the world, and transfer fees are far cheaper than the likes of bitcoin. Unlike other cryptocurrencies, XRP transfers are effectively immediate, requiring no typical confirmation time.  Ripple was originally founded by a single company, Ripple Labs, and continues to be backed by it, rather than the larger network of developers that continue bitcoin’s development. It also doesn’t have a fluctuating amount of its currency in existence. Where bitcoin has a continually growing pool with an eventual maximum, and Ethereum theoretically has no limit, Ripple was created with all of its 100 billion XRP tokens right out of the gate. That number is maintained with no mining and most of the tokens are owned and held by Ripple Labs itself — around 60 billion at the latest count.  Even at the recently reduced value of around half a dollar per XRP, that means Ripple Labs is currently sitting on around $20 billion worth of the cryptocurrency (note: Ripple’s price crashed hard recently, and may be worth far less than $60 billion by time you read this). It holds 55 billion XRP in an escrow account, which allows it to sell up to a billion per month if it so chooses in order to fund new projects and acquisitions. Selling such an amount would likely have a drastic effect on the cryptocurrency’s value, and isn’t something Ripple Labs plans to do anytime soon.  In actuality, Ripple Labs is looking to leverage the technology behind XRP to allow for faster banking transactions around the world. While Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are built on the idea of separating financial transactions from the financial organizations of traditional currencies, Ripple is almost the opposite in every sense.  XRP by Ripple price can be found on this page alongside the market capitalization and additional stats.

Shares of General Motors and Ford fell on Thursday as major automakers warned that a deepening semiconductor disruption tied to a dispute between China and the Dutch government could soon hit U.S. and European vehicle production.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/GM">General Motors’ stock</a> slipped 0.8% to close at $57.34 on Thursday, while&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/F">Ford’s stock</a> edged 0.2% lower to $11.74.&nbsp;Automakers Warn Of Supply Chain RisksThe European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) said carmakers and suppliers had been notified by chipmaker Nexperia that it could no longer guarantee deliveries, warning that manufacturing could be significantly disrupted.

Meanwhile, Automakers including Volkswagen and BMW said their European plants have not yet been affected but are monitoring supply chains closely.Retail-Trader Sentiment For GM, Ford SplitOn Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward General Motors was ‘bullish’, while sentiment for Ford was ‘neutral’, with both tickers seeing ‘low’ message volume.While Ford’s stock has risen 26% so far this year, General Motors’ stock has climbed 9% over the same period.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

South Korea’s Trade Minister Yeo Han-koo said Friday he had pressed U.S. officials for progress in talks and called for a swift resolution of visa problems affecting Korean workers.&nbsp;His comments came after more than 300 South Korean employees were detained earlier this month at a Hyundai Motor battery plant under construction in Georgia.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/south-koreans-return-home-after-hyundai-plant-raid-shackled-workers-greeted-with-tears/chw8K68RdwN">The workers were later released</a> and returned home.Yeo said both sides acknowledge the gravity of the matter but refused to disclose details of the talks, describing it as a sensitive issue. “These are matters that go directly to the national interest,” he told reporters at Incheon, according to a Bloomberg&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-09-19/us-korea-talks-remain-unresolved-over-auto-tariff-visa-issues">report</a>.&nbsp;The talks also cover auto tariffs and the $350 billion investment package pledged under the trade deal signed in July. The accord, reaffirmed at last month’s White House summit, set a 15% tariff on Korean goods, but implementation details remain unsettled.&nbsp;U.S. President Donald Trump has not signed the order lowering duties on Korean vehicles, leaving Korean automakers at a disadvantage as Japan has already secured tariff cuts under its own deal with Washington.On Monday, ahead of his Washington meetings with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and members of Congress,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/another-key-south-korean-trade-official-to-visit-us-after-hyundai-plant-detention-row/chwv662RdxS">Yeo said</a>, “We’re working hard to achieve an outcome that is reasonable and meets our national interests.” His trip followed Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan’s meeting with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.The finance ministry said Sunday it was in talks with Washington to minimize the investment package’s impact on the onshore currency market, but declined to confirm whether this included a foreign exchange swap line.&nbsp;Yeo also confirmed that South Korea does not intend to further open its agricultural market, another sticking point in the negotiations, and said outreach to U.S. lawmakers will continue.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment was ‘bullish’ with ‘high’ message volume for both the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust and the Invesco QQQ Trust, while sentiment on the iShares MSCI South Korea ETF was ‘neutral’ with ‘normal’ activity.So far this year,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPY</a> is up 13.7% and&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">QQQ</a> has gained 16.8%, while&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/EWY">EWY</a> has surged 58.7%, sharply outperforming both U.S. benchmarks.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

South Korea Presses US On Visa Dispute After Hyundai Plant Detentions As $350B Trade Deal, Auto Tariffs Stall

The July accord set a 15% tariff on Korean goods, but Washington has yet to finalize implementation, leaving Korean automakers disadvantaged compared to Japan.

South Korea’s top trade negotiator, Yeo Han-koo, is visiting the U.S. on Monday in a bid to finalize the trade agreement the two countries struck in July."We're working hard to achieve an outcome that is reasonable and meets our national interests," Yeo said to reporters, according to a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/south-koreas-top-trade-envoy-heading-us-amid-stalled-trade-talks-2025-09-15/">Reuters News report</a>.

However, it reportedly declined to confirm if these included a foreign exchange swap line.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/EWY">iShares MSCI South Korea ETF</a> (EWY) was in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing.Yeo also reportedly confirmed that South Korea did not intend to open up the agricultural market further, which has been a sticking point.His visit comes on the heels of a <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/south-koreans-return-home-after-hyundai-plant-raid-shackled-workers-greeted-with-tears/chw8K68RdwN">controversial detention </a>of hundreds of South Korean nationals at a Hyundai Motor battery plant. While Seoul struck an agreement to release the workers, the images of South Koreans in chains incited public anger, with the local media describing the facilities as worse than prison.On Sunday, U.S. President Donald Trump defended the need for foreign workers by saying that foreign businesses should be allowed to bring in their employees to train Americans for complex industries.The EWY ETF has risen over 52% this year, compared with 11.6% gains of the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-starmer-to-sign-u-s-uk-nuclear-deal-to-expedite-small-reactor-deployments/chwvxMTRdxQ">Trump, Starmer to Sign US-UK Nuclear Deal To Expedite Small Reactor Deployments</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Hundreds of South Korean workers swept up in a U.S. immigration raid have finally made it back home, closing a tense week that shook investor confidence and tested ties between Washington and Seoul.A Korean Air flight carrying 330 passengers, of which 316 were South Koreans, landed at Incheon on Friday to emotional scenes.

South Koreans Return Home After Hyundai Plant Raid — Shackled Workers Greeted With Tears

The Sept. 4 immigration sweep at a Hyundai–LG battery plant in Georgia has rattled investor confidence, delayed construction by months, and stirred diplomatic tensions between Washington and Seoul.

President Donald Trump responded to the immigration raid at Hyundai Motor’s battery plant site in Georgia by urging foreign companies to respect American immigration rules while continuing to invest in the U.S.Trump said&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115165715028507857">in a post on Truth Social</a> that foreign investments are welcome and that the U.S. will “make it quickly and legally possible” for firms to bring in technical talent from abroad. However, he emphasized that companies must comply with U.S. law and also prioritize hiring and training American workers. “Together, we will all work hard to make our Nation not only productive, but closer in unity than ever before,” Trump wrote.Trump’s remarks came in the wake of a sweeping Homeland Security raid, the largest ever carried out at a single location, that detained 475 workers at the Hyundai-LG Energy Solution battery project in Georgia, according to a Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-09-07/us-migrant-raid-jolts-south-korea-stirs-investor-anxiety">report</a>.South Korea’s presidential office said Sunday it reached an agreement with Washington to release the South Korean citizens it detained, The Wall Street Journal&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.wsj.com/world/asia/seoul-says-it-has-reached-deal-with-u-s-to-release-workers-detained-in-hyundai-raid-5048b38c?mod=newsviewer_click&amp;adobe_mc=MCMID%3D74537243080012175182679892959762943330%7CMCORGID%3DCB68E4BA55144CAA0A4C98A5%2540AdobeOrg%7CTS%3D1757294036&amp;_gl=1*j0mys*_gcl_au*MTc0MTM5NTM3NS4xNzUwNzcwMzkw*_ga*MTg1Mzg3MjI1NS4xNzE4OTcyNDYz*_ga_K2H7B9JRSS*czE3NTcyOTM3ODckbzEyNCRnMSR0MTc1NzI5NDAzNCRqNTckbDEkaDM3MDg0NDU0MQ">noted</a>.Chief of Staff Kang Hoon-sik said a charter flight will be organized once administrative procedures are completed, although it is unclear whether the workers will be allowed to leave voluntarily or be deported, a move that could keep them out of the U.S. for years.&nbsp;The raid has stirred anger in Seoul, where government officials have been working to&nbsp;secure the release of the citizens. South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun will travel to Washington on Monday to finalize arrangements and push for changes to visa policies to prevent similar incidents.&nbsp;The charter flight could return some of the workers as soon as Wednesday, according to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://m-en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20250908000251315?section=national/diplomacy">Yonhap News Agency</a>.

Trump Warns Hyundai: Follow US Immigration Laws After 300 South Korean Workers Detained

South Korea said it has reached a deal with Washington to free its citizens detained in last week’s Georgia raid, with a charter flight expected to bring them home once paperwork is completed. 

Hyundai Motor’s union will stage partial strikes this week at plants across South Korea, demanding higher wages and shorter working hours.About 40,000 workers are set to walk off the job for two hours on Wednesday and Thursday and four hours on Friday at factories including Ulsan, Jeonju and Asan. The action follows an Aug. 25 vote in which a majority supported the plan, according to a Reuters&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/world-at-work/hyundai-motor-union-launches-strikes-south-korea-over-wages-working-hours-2025-09-03/">report</a>.&nbsp;The union is asking for a 30% bonus from Hyundai’s 2024 net income, when the company posted record U.S. revenue, alongside an increase in the retirement age to 64 from 60 and a shift to a 4.5-day work week.The dispute comes just days after South Korea’s parliament passed new union rules under President Lee Jae Myung’s Democratic Party, strengthening protections for subcontracted workers.&nbsp;The amendments, known as the “Yellow Envelope Act,” give unions more power to demand concessions from client firms, curb employers’ ability to claim damages over strikes, and broaden executives’ responsibility to join collective bargaining. Lee is expected to sign the bill into law.Hyundai’s union, one of the country’s most influential, has not held a full-time strike over wages in seven years. In December 2024, members staged a two-day partial walkout to protest former President Yoon Suk Yeol’s failed martial law declaration.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment for Hyundai was ‘neutral’ amid ‘low’ message volume.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/HYMTF">Hyundai Motor’s</a> South Korean shares have risen nearly 10% so far in 2025.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Hyundai Hit By Strikes In South Korea: 40,000 Workers Walk Out Demanding Higher Pay And Shorter Work Week

The strikes mark Hyundai’s first major wage-related walkout in seven years, with plants in Ulsan, Jeonju, and Asan among those hit by the partial stoppages.

Hyundai Motor Group is stepping up its bet on the U.S., disclosing plans to pump $26 billion into the country over the next four years as it looks to expand in cars, steel, and robotics while creating tens of thousands of jobs.The investment, which runs from 2025 through 2028, is an extra $5 billion on top of what Hyundai had already promised earlier this year.&nbsp;The money will be used to build a new steel mill in Louisiana, help shore up U.S. supply chains, and ramp up Hyundai and Kia’s auto production capacity in America, as well as establish a robotics hub capable of producing 30,000 machines annually.&nbsp;In total, the company stated that the projects will create 25,000 direct jobs by 2028.Hyundai added that its U.S.-based tech affiliates, including Boston Dynamics in robotics and Motional in autonomous driving, will support the investment push. It is also deepening collaboration with American companies in areas such as artificial intelligence and future mobility technologies.Earlier this month,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/hyundai-gm-expand-partnership-with-5-new-vehicles-target-over-800-000-annual-sales/chrlnKtRd5r">Hyundai Motor Company and General Motors</a> said they are jointly developing five new vehicles designed by both companies, with first launches scheduled for 2028.&nbsp;The program will include four models for Central and South America, comprising a compact SUV, a car, a compact pickup, and a mid-size pickup, as well as a battery electric commercial van for North America, which will be produced in the U.S.GM will lead the development of the mid-size truck platform, while Hyundai will lead the development of the compact vehicle and electric van.

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung will meet U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday, with autos and semiconductors among the sectors most exposed to new U.S. tariffs.The Trump administration’s new trade deal imposed a 15% tariff on imports from South Korea, a key supplier of cars, semiconductors, smartphones and machinery.&nbsp;Automobiles made up 10% of South Korea’s exports last year, while chips accounted for 21%, with exports totaling more than 40% of the economy, Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-25/five-things-to-watch-in-south-korea-s-lee-first-trump-meeting">reported</a>.Lee will be joined by executives from Hyundai Motor, Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and LG Energy Solution.&nbsp;South Korean media reported that firms could announce up to $150 billion in new U.S. investments, adding to existing projects such as Samsung’s Texas chip plant and Hyundai’s $21 billion investment in vehicle and steel facilities.The July 31 trade deal also created a $350 billion South Korean fund for U.S. projects. Trump said he would direct the investments, and 90% of the profits would return to the U.S., while Seoul stated that most of the fund would be in the form of loan guarantees, with less than 5% in equity.&nbsp;Of the total, $150 billion is earmarked for shipyards, and Lee will visit one in Philadelphia.Agriculture is another flashpoint. Trump said South Korea would be “completely open” to U.S. farm goods, though Seoul excluded rice and beef as politically sensitive. Concessions on agriculture may be weighed against lower tariffs for autos and semiconductors.Defense spending will also be discussed. Trump has pressed allies to pay more, calling South Korea a “money machine.” The country hosts 28,500 U.S. troops and plans to allocate 2.32% of its GDP to defense this year.North Korea will be on the agenda as well. Trump met Kim Jong Un three times in his first term without curbing Pyongyang’s nuclear program, and Kim last week vowed a “rapid expansion” of his arsenal as U.S.-ROK military drills began. Analysts say engagement is unlikely unless drills are suspended and denuclearization dropped as a policy goal.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment was ‘bullish’ for the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)</a> with ‘normal’ message volume, ‘neutral’ for the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)</a> with ‘high’ volume, and ‘bullish’ for the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/EWY">iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY)</a> with ‘high’ volume.SPY is up 10.8% year-to-date, QQQ has gained 12.2%, while EWY has surged 44.5%, outperforming both.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
