🎤 @XRPSEOUL 2026 Highlights | Fireside Chat
“Institutional Adoption & Capital Mobility on the XRP Ledger”
A conversation on how financial institutions are migrating on-chain, leveraging XRPL for collateral mobility, tokenized assets, and payment infrastructure.
🗣 Speakers
• Monica Long (@MonicaLongSF) , President at @Ripple
• Moderator: Christina Chan (@christinabchan), Senior Director of Ecosystem Growth at @Ripple
🔎 Key Takeaways:
1️⃣ Institutional Shift & Capital Market Use Cases
Driven by regulatory clarity, financial institutions are transitioning from exploring blockchain to deploying on-chain infrastructure, focusing on 24/7 collateral mobility through tokenized money market funds, treasury-backed repos, and stablecoin-enabled cross-border payments.
2️⃣ Building Institutional-Grade Rails on XRPL
To meet enterprise requirements, Ripple is expanding XRPL's capability stack with 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.
3️⃣ Ecosystem Growth & Future Predictions
Driven by regional incubators like the Korea Financial Innovation Program and top-tier institution partnerships, XRPL targets massive growth over the next year, projecting tokenized real-world assets (RWA) to scale from $6B to $30B and AI agent transactions to jump from 10 million to 100 million.
💡 The Takeaway
XRPL is solidifying its role as a core institutional settlement layer by combining real-world asset tokenization, compliant lending, and full-stack payment infrastructure to drive long-term XRP utility and capital liquidity.

🚨 JUST IN: #Ripple is inside the White House today. Understand what's actually happening. 👇
President Trump is meeting crypto's top executives this afternoon, with SEC Chair Paul Atkins and CFTC Chair Michael Selig in the room. Brad Garlinghouse is on the list.
Now the part most people missed:
→ This isn't a photo op. It's the kickoff for the CFTC's new Innovation Advisory Committee, which holds its first meeting tomorrow
→ Garlinghouse is one of its 35 members, seated next to Nasdaq, CME, Cboe and DTCC
→ The agenda: digital asset regulation, tokenization and market structure
→ The timing: the CLARITY Act is stalled in the Senate, with the cloture vote set for September 15
Five years ago the US government was suing #Ripple.
Today the same government invites its CEO to help write the rules, one day before the agency that would oversee $XRP as a commodity convenes its advisory board.
The lawsuit era is over.
The rulemaking era started this morning.

🚨 JUST IN: Nobody's connecting the dots on RWAs and the $XRP Ledger.
Tokenized real world assets on the #XRPL just hit $4.06 BILLION across 373 assets.
It was $73M in January 2025.
The dots:
→ +$2.6B added in six months, the #2 net RWA inflow of any chain, ahead of Stellar and Solana
→ Justoken's energy token alone represents $2.23B
→ Ondo Finance is running BlackRock backed Treasuries on it
→ Archax, FCA regulated, brought an abrdn money market fund
→ Société Générale FORGE issues its euro stablecoin there
→ #Ripple just invested in ZILO and Licuido to expand capital markets on it
Every tokenized asset needs one thing: a ledger that settles. 3 to 5 seconds, 24/7, compliance built in.
The XRPL has done it for 14 years. The institutions clearly noticed.

“Regulatory clarity is the foundation of institutional trust.”
Last month, Ripple received full EU authorization for a MiCA Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) license from Luxembourg’s CSSF. 🇪🇺
With our EU EMI license, institutions across all 30 EEA nations can now collect, exchange, and pay out via Ripple Payments in a single regulated relationship.
Regulation-first, ready to scale. https://t.co/lesANFtmhQ
The market won’t send you a calendar invite…
Things can, and will, change in an instant.
The line is in. Be ready for the tug.
Opportunity has a funny way of showing up unannounced 🎣🫡
XRP now has institutional credit rails on Ethereum mainnet, enabled by @FlareNetworks.
FXRP is live as collateral in @SentoraHQ's RLUSD vault on @Morpho — supply FXRP, borrow RLUSD, permissionlessly.
A milestone for $XRP in institutional DeFi 🤝

🚨 JUST IN: Korea's stock market triggered a circuit breaker, and the money ran straight into stablecoins. 🇰🇷
The KOSPI fell over 10% on July 28.
₩864 TRILLION in market cap gone.
Same day, Korean exchange volume jumped 82.5%. Upbit's won to stablecoin volume spiked 600% in four days.
Korean won pairs are already 30% of all global spot crypto volume.
And $RLUSD just went live on all four licensed KRW exchanges.
Right place. Right moment.
