Ripple Bridges TradFi and DeFi with Record Revenue Growth Predicted

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse sees his company as a bridge between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi), highlighting its 75 global licenses. He noted that a U.S. court ruling that XRP is not a security has increased interest from CFOs and treasurers in practical blockchain uses like payments and treasury management, signaling broader crypto adoption beyond speculation.

Garlinghouse expects Ripple to achieve record revenue growth despite a soft crypto market, driven by institutional demand and strategic acquisitions totaling billions. He emphasized the need for strong controls on AI-driven payments, underscoring Ripple's vision of integrating TradFi and crypto rather than replacing banks.
