Meta Platforms announces the creation of new non-voting shares
CoinWorld news, Meta Platforms ($META) will create a new class of non-voting shares to raise capital and allow CEO Mark Zuckerberg to maintain voting control. The Meta board announced that shareholders will receive one Class C share for each Class A and Class B share held, with the restructuring effective January 19, 2027. Class C shares will have no voting rights, and entities controlled by Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan have approved the change, which shareholders will not vote on. Meta said the new shares could be used to raise capital, compensate employees, and fund acquisitions without diluting existing voting control. Class C shares are expected to be sold periodically. World Trade Securities CEO Nicholas Murgali said the structure could mean "more capital expenditures are coming," with Meta projecting 2026 capital expenditures of between $135 billion and $145 billion. Meta reported third-quarter revenue of $64.6 billion, beating expectations of $63.37 billion, and adjusted earnings per share of $7.40, beating expectations of $5.74. Fourth-quarter revenue guidance of $73 billion to $76 billion also met or exceeded Wall Street expectations.
Ripple launches major XRP Ledger upgrade to boost cross-border payment efficiency
CoinWorld data: Ripple announced today a major XRP Ledger upgrade to enhance the cross-border payment capabilities of its native stablecoin RLUSD. The upgrade is part of a new partnership agreement signed between Ripple and global liquidity and settlement platform ARF, aimed at providing short-term working capital to licensed payment companies, helping them obtain liquidity while waiting for international transfer settlements. ARF will provide RLUSD settlement liquidity on the XRP Ledger, enabling payment providers to conduct transactions without locking up large amounts of capital.

CoinWorld data: According to official news from Espresso, benchmark tests following its mainnet upgrade show that in a 100-node environment simulating global network latency, data throughput reached 181 mb/s. Estimating at 180 bytes per stablecoin transfer, this theoretically supports over 1 million transfers per second, with an average final confirmation time of 778 milliseconds under peak load. This upgrade moves block building into validator nodes, adopts a fully connected encrypted network for single-hop message transmission, eliminates the independent data availability committee and instead proves data availability through consensus voting, and introduces XOR erasure coding and blake3 hashing to reduce computational overhead.
