Ripple President Sees Exponential Growth for XRP Ledger in Next Year

Ripple President Monica Long highlighted the next big institutional growth phase for the XRP Ledger during the recent XRP Seoul event at the Grand Hyatt Seoul, which drew over 5,500 attendees.

The event featured a fireside chat with Long, moderated by Christina Chan, Senior Director of Ecosystem Growth at Ripple, where she discussed how financial institutions are moving on-chain and leveraging XRPL for collateral mobility, tokenized assets, and payment infrastructure.

Regulatory clarity is driving this shift, with an emphasis on 24/7 collateral mobility through tokenized money market funds, treasury-backed repos, and cross-border payments enabled by stablecoins.

Ripple is expanding XRPL's capability stack to meet enterprise requirements, including permissioned privacy controls, native yield and lending protocols using XRP/RLUSD, and decentralized exchange (DEX) payment integration handled directly by Ripple to reduce customer complexity.
