New episode of All About Blockchain 🎧

Ripple SVP @ericvanm sat down with @DuffieDarrell from @StanfordGSB and discussed the importance of privacy, tokenized treasuries, stablecoins, and why AI making payments on your behalf might be closer than you think.

A great listen for builders, regulators, and the curious.

Excited to join our UBRI partner @CornellBlockchain tomorrow for their annual event.

At @Ripple, we’re seeing stablecoins transform how value moves -- faster aid, lower costs, broader access. Looking forward to digging into real-world use cases on stage alongside @RBC. 📷
