And we’re back for year 10 (!)…@RippleSwell 2026 will be our biggest event ever, with main stage keynotes, multiple tracks (Institutional, Ecosystem, and Innovation), and much more.
An experience that’s both audacious and illuminating, taking place in the financial capital of the world – that’s what you’ll find at Ripple Swell. See you there!

Proud to see @Ripple return to CNBC’s Disruptor 50, ranked #16 (!!). This past year was a defining one for our industry and a real turning point for Ripple. New money is here to stay. 💸
Ripple Custody has been on a tear the past few months. Digital asset custody is the foundation for any enterprise moving into crypto, whether you’re a bank or a fintech. Ripple Custody is built for how and where customers already operate — customizable to their needs, not one-size-fits-all.
With Ripple Custody you get:
- Flexible deployment (SaaS, on-prem, hybrid)
- Integrations across payments, tokenization, and staking
- Stronger controls + simpler workflow
These capabilities are clearly resonating, with new global customers like Kbank and Kyobo Life Insurance joining BBVA, Intesa Sanpaolo, AMINA Bank, and others on our roster. Proud of the team for meeting our customers where they are, and continuing to ship a top-tier product.
Kyobo Life choosing Ripple Custody to support on-chain settlement reflects where the market is heading. When a leading Korean financial institution brings real assets on-chain, the industry takes note. Proud to partner on Korea’s first tokenized government bond settlement.
Excited to see t54 building the trust layer for the agentic economy. As autonomous agents begin managing and transacting with real capital, trust infrastructure becomes a foundational piece of the equation. Proud to be at the forefront of AI innovation. Congrats to the team!
Coming off XRP Community Day and reflecting on the progress made toward making XRPL the go-to blockchain for institutional DeFi.
Another big win as one of the UK’s largest asset managers moves funds onchain.
In 2026, expect institutional adoption at scale!
Some more exciting licensing news in Europe! 🇪🇺
A couple of weeks ago we heard from Luxembourg’s CSSF that @Ripple had received preliminary approval for its EU Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license.
I can now share that we have fulfilled the conditions set by the CSSF, resulting in Ripple being granted its full EU EMI license - a transformative milestone that allows us to scale our mission of providing robust, compliant blockchain infrastructure to clients across the EU.
We’re now better positioned than ever to help European businesses transition into a more efficient, digital-first financial era! 🚀

After one of crypto’s most exciting years (and Ripple’s), the industry is entering its production era. In 2026 we’ll see the institutionalization of crypto — trusted infrastructure and real utility will push banks, corporates, and providers from pilots to scale — across stablecoins, onchain assets, crypto custody, and broader institutional investment. A true inflection point for institutional adoption and the Internet of Value. With that, here are some of my top predictions for 2026:
4/ Crypto M&A reflects market maturity, with $8.6B in deal volume in 2025 driven largely by institutions and custody emerging as the next major consolidation driver. As custody commoditizes, spurring vertical integration and multi-custodian strategies, ~50% of the world’s top 50 banks will formalize new custody relationships in 2026.
The licensing wins continue! Over the past year, Ripple has secured new licenses across major financial hubs – Singapore, Dubai, the EU, and the UK — plus a pending U.S. OCC banking charter.
Why does it matter? Our licensing portfolio of 75+ enables us to serve more customers, better. They onboard with us and we take care of the rest!
Pumped to serve UK businesses' digital asset needs, now with our regulated e2e infrastructure!! This means that once UK businesses onboard with us, we can handle moving, trading, on/off-ramping digital assets for them around the world.
We're incredibly excited to announce that @MonicaLongSF, President of @Ripple, is joining as our second headline speaker at XRP Australia 2026!
Following our incredible lineup kickoff, Monica will bring her visionary insights on driving the Internet of Value forward.
The action-packed summit takes over Crown Towers Sydney on February 27th - expect deep dives into institutional crypto adoption, real-world utility on the XRP Ledger, tokenized assets and stablecoin growth, and the booming blockchain landscape in APAC and beyond.
Robust licenses = Better customer experience
With this expanded scope of payment activities for the MPI license, Ripple can scale our licensed payment services in Singapore for our growing customer base including banks and fintechs. Proud to keep growing in Singapore. 🇸🇬
An honor to host Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong and @MAS_sg Managing Director Chia Der Jiun at the Ripple booth to learn more about our business and customer traction in APAC, during the 10th anniversary of Singapore Fintech Festival.
Singapore continues to lead from the front with clear rules and regulations around digital assets, maintaining a strategic vision to build a trusted, connected and digital asset economy.
Great to welcome the UK's Economic Secretary to the Treasury @LucyRigby at Ripple’s Singapore office to discuss how digital assets can boost the UK's competitiveness and growth, building on its status as one of the leading financial hubs of the world.
