Ripple Aims to Unite TradFi and Web3, Says President Monica Long

Ripple, a prominent payments firm, is determined to become the leading digital asset infrastructure provider in the financial services industry. In a recent company blog post, Ripple President Monica Long outlined the company’s vision to integrate more traditional finance (TradFi) systems with modern financial tools.

Monica Long emphasized Ripple’s commitment to leveraging its technological capabilities and reputation to bridge the gap between TradFi and Web3. She stated, “We envision being a one-stop shop for enterprises that want the benefits of integrating blockchain into their business but don’t have the expertise, resources, or interest in building and maintaining the technology in-house.” Ripple aims to utilize the XRP Ledger (XRPL) to bring decentralized finance (DeFi) benefits to its global customers in a secure and compliant manner.

Ripple’s strategy involves integrating more XRPL features into its operations. Long believes this approach will enable the company to offer faster, better, and cheaper financial services compared to traditional technologies. “Ripple has the credibility, reputation, trust, advanced understanding and operations for core services like crypto on and off-ramps, liquidity, custody and compliance,” she added.

Evolving Product Suite for Modern Needs

Ripple is not just resting on its laurels; it continues to evolve its product suite to meet customer demands. Long highlighted Ripple’s commitment to providing best-in-class solutions combined with innovative technology. She said, “Ripple is one of the few players in the space uniquely positioned to deliver on holistic digital asset infrastructure that bridges TradFi and crypto through our years of experience living and working within both worlds.”

Ripple’s extensive experience and deep understanding of both traditional and digital finance position it uniquely to deliver comprehensive digital asset infrastructure. This includes essential services such as liquidity, custody, and compliance, which are crucial for integrating blockchain technology into mainstream financial services.

Ripple’s mission stems from a belief in the transformative power of blockchain technology and digital assets. Long concluded, “We got into this business because we believe blockchain technology and digital assets can provide faster, better, and cheaper financial services compared to incumbent technologies. We’ll continue to provide best-in-class solutions, combined with innovative technology to bridge the gap between TradFi and Web3 to make that vision a reality.”

With its robust strategy and commitment to innovation, Ripple is poised to lead the way in digital asset infrastructure, offering secure, compliant solutions that seamlessly integrate traditional and decentralized finance.
