Ripple President Monica Long Bullish on Ripple and XRP’s Future

Monica Long, president of Ripple, said the company has come a long way after the district court’s decision on XRP as not a security, ruling against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The clarity on XRP allowed Ripple to focus on other use cases and expansion.

SEC has not slowed down its agenda against the crypto industry, challenging the growth of crypto, blockchain, and other related technologies in the United States. Despite stringent pressure, Long claimed Ripple has boosted payments infrastructure, XRP Ledger, and custody services through Metaco. Various partnerships were announced in XRP ledger developments and custody services to banks and other financial institutions.

RLUSD stablecoin will bring additional advantage in Ripple business and entry in markets with less liquidity. The stablecoin will not compete with XRP, but help in growing its adoption driven by DeFi and institutional investors. Standard Custody, which was acquired by Ripple earlier this year, will manage the reserve for RLUSD.

Ripple has infrastructure for RWA tokenization. Recently, Ripple and Archax extended their existing collaboration to bring hundreds of millions of dollars of tokenized real-world assets on XRP Ledger. Wall Street giants such as BlackRock, JPMorgan, and Goldman Sachs have moved towards the technology.

Monica Long remains bullish on seeing issuers filing an XRP exchange traded funds (ETFs) due to several positive factors. XRP and Bitcoin are the only crypto assets with clarity from the US government.
