Ripple President: XRP Ledger Enters Next Institutional Growth Phase
Ripple President Monica Long highlighted the next big institutional growth phase of the XRP Ledger at the XRP Seoul event, which gathered over 5,000 attendees.
The discussion, moderated by Christina Chan, Senior Director of Ecosystem Growth at Ripple, focused on bringing XRP utility to institutional finance and the shift of financial institutions to on-chain infrastructure.
Long emphasized that regulatory clarity is driving institutions from experimenting with blockchain to deploying on-chain infrastructure, with a focus 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 with permissioned privacy controls, native yield and lending protocols using XRP/LUSD, and decentralized exchange (DEX) payment integration handled directly by Ripple to reduce customer complexity.
