Ripple President Predicts $1T Crypto Inflow into Corporate Treasuries by 2026

Ripple President Monica Long has put forward a bold prediction about a massive shift in corporate treasury management. She projected a massive $1 trillion in crypto inflows into corporate balance sheets by 2026. Long believes that half of Fortune 500 companies will embrace digital assets this year.

Why Corporate Giants are Turning to Crypto? Ripple President Explains

In an X post earlier today, Ripple President Monica Long posited that about 250 of America’s biggest companies will start using crypto and blockchain by the end of 2026. She also forecasted that blockchain would emerge as the core technology in modern finance.

The Ripple President believes that crypto is no longer a risky gamble. According to her, digital assets are becoming a fundamental part of the global financial ecosystem. Adding that many industry giants will embrace crypto and blockchain in 2026, Long noted,

“By the end of 2026, balance sheets will hold over $1 trillion in digital assets, and roughly half of Fortune 500 companies will have formalized digital asset strategies.”

Further, Long added that over $1 trillion in digital assets will be held by corporate companies. This massive crypto inflow implies that these corporates will be using virtual currencies for tokenization, digital asset treasuries (DATs), and as advanced financial tools.

Citing the growing influence of crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs), Long underscored that this massive shift towards crypto is already taking place. Recently, as CoinGape reported, Bitcoin ETFs hit their best week since the October market crash, marking a net inflow of $1.42 billion. The Ripple President hopes that more investors will emerge, with banks and traditional financial giants increasingly adopting crypto.

Stablecoins to Reshape Global Finance

Moreover, Ripple’s Monica Long elaborated on the growing significance of stablecoins in global finance. She stated that stable tokens will evolve as a core part of the financial system, with many countries, including the US, establishing laws focusing on them. For instance, the GENIUS Act is the first comprehensive regulatory framework for stablecoins, which Long asserts “officially inaugurated the digital dollar era.” In her X post, she added,

“Stablecoins will be the foundation for global settlement, not an alternative rail. As Visa, Stripe and major institutions hard-wire them into payment flows, B2B is the growth engine – with corporates using digital dollars to unlock real-time liquidity and capital efficiency.”

The Ripple president also argued that the real benefits of stablecoins lie beyond easy payments. Stablecoins allow freeing up “trapped” money that companies can’t currently access. Over $700 billion in “trapped working capital” could be unlocked via stable tokens.
