London, UK, July 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Recently, the cryptocurrency industry has received another big news: Ripple is about to obtain a banking license. The successful application for a banking license will mark the further recognition and acceptance of Ripple in the traditional financial system.
For XRP holders, this milestone event not only enhances the credibility of XRP, but also provides greater space for token liquidity and expansion of usage scenarios. In the long run, it is expected to drive the steady growth of XRP prices. FIND MINING has also launched a new XRP mining and income solution to help XRP holders easily realize asset appreciation under this favorable background and earn millions of dollars in potential income.
How does FIND MINING help XRP holders maximize their returns?
As Ripple is about to enter the compliant banking system, the market demand and enthusiasm for holding XRP is growing rapidly. FIND MINING seizes this trend and launches diversified mining for XRP holders to help users gain additional income while holding coins.
Core advantages include:
AI computing power scheduling system: intelligently optimizes mining strategies in real time based on market difficulty and currency price fluctuations
Multi-node global deployment: Distributed servers cover the world to ensure efficient and stable operation of mining
Green energy drive: Use clean energy to reduce operating costs and make users more profitable
Referral reward mechanism: Invite friends to enjoy up to 4.5% extra rebate, multiple benefits
Transparent and traceable income – all mining income and dividends can be viewed in real time, withdrawn at any time, and viewed on the dashboard at any time
How XRP Holders Can Generate Income Through FIND MINING
1.Log in to https://findmining.com/ to register an account. You will receive a $15 reward after successful registration.
2. Choose a cloud computing power contract that suits your investment strategy. Users have the following options (minimum 50XRP to participate)
(One click to view more contract details of efficient and profitable contracts)
3. Automatically obtain income every day and withdraw funds at any time
By using XRP to participate in mining, you can continuously “empower” your assets.
Although XRP itself does not support mining, the FIND MINING platform innovatively supports users to use XRP to activate contracts, purchase computing power, and participate in cloud mining of other mainstream currencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin (LTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), etc. This model not only broadens the asset appreciation channels for XRP holders, but also provides users with a new option of legal, compliant and stable appreciation.
Millions of dollars in passive income are within reach
According to official data from FIND MINING, taking an investor holding 20,000 XRP as an example, if he chooses a long-term mining plan and reinvests, the potential income in the next few months can easily reach millions of dollars.
After Ripple successfully obtained a banking license, this low-risk, high-liquidity income opportunity will undoubtedly attract more investors to join the XRP ecosystem, further promoting the stability and growth of its network.
Final Thoughts
Ripple’s banking license is not only an affirmation of blockchain financial innovation, but also brings new value dividends to XRP holders. FIND MINING follows the trend and, with its strong and transparent security guarantee and innovative mining mechanism, is helping global XRP holders to easily tap into the new blue ocean of passive income.
If you also hold XRP, you might as well seize this historic opportunity and let the crypto assets in your hands truly “work for you” instead of just lying quietly in your wallet.

Users and customers of Dornoch Service Point are being advised by The Highland Council that the way in which services are being delivered at the Service Point is changing.
From Monday 4 August, customers will be able to:
Since 2019, there has been a fall in customers using the service point in Dornoch by over 50% and the service therefore needs to be delivered in a different way.
On average, there are now only 17 pay, report or request transactions per week. 90% of all births and deaths are now done by choice over the telephone rather than in the office.
The changes will take place from Monday 4 August when new ways of working will begin. This means that services will be available during library opening times.
The freephone facility to access Pay, Report and Request transactions will be available during office opening hours (Monday to Friday 9-5).
Services will be delivered in partnership with High Life Highland.
Service Point users will still be able to purchase CityLink bus Tickets from High Life Highland.
In person appointments can be requested via the Council’s Golspie office where a member of staff will attend in Dornoch for a pre-agreed appointment.
To register a birth or death, appointments will be made as they currently are via the Council’s registration offices. People will continue to have a choice whether they wish to do this in person or over the telephone.

The federal budget deficit totaled $1.3 trillion in the first nine months of fiscal year 2025, the Congressional Budget Office estimates. That amount is $65 billion more than the deficit recorded during the same period last fiscal year. Revenues increased by $254 billion (or 7 percent), and outlays rose by $320 billion (or 6 percent).
The change in the deficit was influenced by the timing of outlays. Fiscal year 2024 outlays were reduced because payments that were due on October 1, 2023, a Sunday, were shifted into the prior fiscal year. (Those payments were made in September 2023.) If not for that shift, the deficit so far this fiscal year would have been $7 billion (or 1 percent) less than the shortfall at this point last year.
H.R. 1, the 2025 reconciliation legislation signed by the President on July 4, 2025, increased the debt limit by $5 trillion. CBO will discuss its estimates of the budget and economic effects of that law in the next edition of The Budget and Economic Outlook.

Areas affected…Southern Virginia into the Carolinas
Concerning…Severe potential…Watch possible
Valid 091707Z – 091900Z
Probability of Watch Issuance…60 percent
SUMMARY…Thunderstorms developing within the southern Appalachians
will pose a severe wind threat through the early evening hours as
they spread east into southern Virginia and the Carolinas. Watch
issuance is probable as thunderstorm coverage increases.
DISCUSSION…Latest GOES/MRMS imagery show the early stages of deep
convection developing along the southern Appalachians from far
southwest VA into western NC. A gradual increase in storm coverage
is anticipated over the next few hours as temperatures continue to
warm into the upper 80s and lingering MLCIN is removed via
boundary-layer heating/mixing. Downstream dewpoints in the mid 70s
are supporting a plume of MLCAPE between 2000-2500 J/kg across the
Carolinas into the Chesapeake Bay region. Convection will likely
intensify as it migrates into this very buoyant environment;
however, displacement from stronger mid-level flow to the north
suggests that storms may move off the higher terrain somewhat
slowly, driven mainly by propagation along convective outflows.
Similar to yesterday, this environment will support strong to severe
downburst winds, but unlike yesterday thunderstorm coverage should
be greater as multiple convective clusters spread east through the
early evening. Watch issuance is expected in the coming hours as
thunderstorm intensity and coverage begin to increase.

Areas affected…South Carolina into far eastern Georgia
Concerning…Severe potential…Watch unlikely
Valid 091726Z – 091930Z
Probability of Watch Issuance…20 percent
SUMMARY…Scattered thunderstorms are developing in an environment
supportive of strong to severe downburst winds. This threat should
remain relatively brief/isolated; watch issuance is not expected.
DISCUSSION…Deep convection is rapidly developing from
south-central GA into portions of SC within a weak low-level
confluence zone and along a strengthening sea-breeze boundary. This
comes as temperatures quickly warm into the low 90s within a very
moist environment. Morning guidance has largely displayed a 3-5 F
cool and dry bias across the region so far today, which has resulted
in initiation slightly earlier than anticipated as well as SBCAPE
values upwards of 4000-5000 J/kg. Observed dewpoint depressions on
the order of 15 F suggest that LCLs are likely at around 1 km AGL
with near-surface lapse rates on the order of 7-8 C/km. This
combination of extreme buoyancy atop a shallow low-level
dry-adiabatic layer should promote strong, water-loaded downdrafts
capable of damaging/severe downburst winds (most likely between
40-60 mph) through late afternoon. Very weak flow over the region
(generally less than 15 knots per regional VWPs) will favor
disorganized multicells with limited duration. Consequently, the
short-range predictability and coverage of damaging winds will
remain limited and precludes watch issuance.

Areas affected…Lower Michigan into far northwest Ohio
Concerning…Severe potential…Watch unlikely
Valid 091803Z – 092000Z
Probability of Watch Issuance…20 percent
SUMMARY…A couple of weak supercells may develop across parts of
lower Michigan through the afternoon with an attendant threat for
large hail and severe winds. Watch issuance is not anticipated given
the limited coverage of this threat.
DISCUSSION…Early thunderstorm development is underway across
central to southern lower MI as convection percolates along several
subtle boundaries over the region, including a weak cold front, a
lake-breeze boundary, and a weak surface trough. Despite somewhat
nebulous surface features and weak low-level winds, GOES-derived
winds suggest shear within the cloud-bearing layer is between 25-30
knots. This is slightly stronger than anticipated by morning
guidance, and hints that the kinematic environment is supportive of
organized convection. Similarly, a cold bias is noted in morning
guidance with observed temperatures running 2-4 F warmer than
anticipated. Consequently, surface-based CAPE estimates in recent
mesoanalyses may be more representative of the thermodynamic
environment and suggests around 2000-2500 J/kg SBCAPE is in place
across lower MI. Overall, these trends point towards a favorable
convective environment for weak supercells and/or organized
clusters. Meager forcing for ascent will likely limit severe storm
coverage, which should negate the need for watch issuance, but a few
instances of large hail/severe winds appear possible through late
afternoon.
