X-Index (xindex.info) is an independent community research directory. v0.9.14 ingests China Country Packet 002. Enriched: Shanghai Huarui Bank (end-2015 PoC and CIO Sun Zhongdong’s 2016–2017 speeches distinguishing Ripple’s payment protocol from cryptocurrency; 2016 commercial-intent announcement remains historical) and LianLian (7 February 2018 RippleNet/xCurrent production agreement into China via the Hong Kong-licensed unit — not XRP). New cards: Tsinghua Institute for Fintech Research (UBRI grant, not a payments customer), University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (industry-report mention), China Banking Association (framework survey), and Shanghai Institutes for International Studies (Ripple/XRP/RTXP as a monetary-reform research example). Academic papers on Ripple as a case study stay in Documents, not as university customer cards. Ripple Payments China payout rails and bank-code tables are product docs, not customer lists. Huarui annual reports and the Lianlian HKEX prospectus were not added because a Ripple mention was not independently extracted. Insights blogs are not Press. A 2016 SBI Ripple Asia sales-territory sentence covering China is not a Chinese bank customer. v0.9.13 ingests United States Country Packet 001: Fed FEDS 2016.095 (Interledger mention; Ripple/XRP not named), Faster Payments Part One, Ripple’s OP-1625 comment, CFPB remittance reports, NYDFS virtual-currency license of Ripple Markets DE, OFAC FAQ 563 (XRP as an SDN address-type example), MoneyGram’s 2019 10-K (ODL/XRP, later ended), Interledger/IETF protocol papers, XRPL consensus and confidential-MPT specs, and academic papers labeled Academic. New cards: CFPB (mention), NYDFS (license, not a partnership), R3 (2016 XRP interbank trial — not Corda), Western Union (2018 testing), MIT Connection Science (2016 research validator), Berkeley Haas, Penn, and Morgan State (UBRI grants, not payments customers). A CFPB market example is not CFPB using XRP. Insights blogs and Fortune articles are not Press. The 2019 Fed ACH remittance report is declined (does not name Ripple/XRP). v0.9.12 adds a Press catalog of newsroom pages already sourced on organization records — Ripple’s own newsroom, issuer newsrooms, and wires. A press release is an announcement, not a 2026 live rail. v0.9.11 adds Aurum Equity Partners (Pleasanton) and Zoniqx for the announced $1B XRPL tokenized data-center fund, and the European Central Bank and World Economic Forum as mention-stage issuers of already-catalogued Documents. Not the Indian Aurum LLP. A WEF use-case example is not a WEF–Ripple partnership. Task-force co-members (SWIFT, CLS, NACHA) were not added as separate cards. v0.9.10 adds Documents from a user-supplied list: Federal Bank’s 2019 NSE Ripple intimation, Standard Chartered’s 2016 Ripple investment PDF, Breda et al.’s SSRN difference-in-differences of announced RippleNet adoption (not a bank filing), and academic papers on XRPL topology, patents, fiqh classification and consensus — labeled Academic, not institutional endorsement. A magazine reprint of the existing SG-FORGE EURCV page is not a second primary. Chinese how-to-buy XRP pages are not institutional. v0.9.9 adds Documents from a user-supplied PDF list: ECB 2015 virtual-currency analysis, Ripple’s 2021 House of Lords evidence, Palau PSC press, a World Bank CBDC energy note citing Ripple’s XRP table, and academic papers (Jani, Mokeeva/Novosibirsk lab cite, Firouzi, etc.) labeled Academic — not institutional endorsement. A 2018 student overview is not a bank customer. v0.9.8 adds Shariyah Review Bureau’s March 2022 Sharia Analysis of Ripple/XRP (alongside the existing XRP Compliant screen) and Ripple’s 2023–2024 seat on the BIS CPMI PIE task force — a historical industry-committee membership, not a current listing and not XRP as a G20 rail. v0.9.7 adds a Documents catalog of institutional and business pages that actually name Ripple, XRPL, or XRP — a caption or screenshot is not the source. Flags are headquarters plus sourced activity countries. A BRICS or OPEC mark is country membership, not a bloc partnership. A past announcement is not a current-day connection. Counts are documented organizations in this database, not exhaustive national adoption. Last updated 2026-09-10. Not affiliated with Ripple.
