In 2000, the dot-com bubble was bursting and buying things online was globally negligible, estimated at roughly 0.2% of all retail sales. People simply didn't trust the web with their money yet.

Just as global e-commerce spent its first decade being dismissed as overhyped

Just as global e-commerce spent its first decade being dismissed as overhyped, it has only become a seamless daily reality with the rise of infrastructure and smartphones.

Today, globally, more than $1 out of every $5 spent on retail happens online.

Crypto payments are quietly moving through the same slow, foundational phase before inevitable mainstream normalization 🚀

You are not bullish enough

Let's go! @Ripple has received preliminary approval (Green Light Letter) from Luxembourg’s CSSF for our CASP license under MiCA! 🚀

This paves the way for full Ripple Payments rollout across the entire EEA, combining our EMI license to deliver seamless crypto & stablecoin

Proud to share that @Ripple has made a strategic investment in @theflutterwave.

RLUSD embedded in Flutterwave's payment rails. XRPL for faster clearing. Ripple Payments bridging cross-border corridors across Africa.

Real-time settlement, lower costs, and built for scale.

This is what stablecoin infrastructure looks like in practice.

Excited for what we can build together.

Another RLUSD milestone as @Ripple’s USD stablecoin is now available to institutions in Türkiye

New partnerships with @BiLira_Kripto, @Bitexencom and @bitlocom are bringing our regulated, enterprise-grade USD-backed stablecoin to one of the world's most active crypto markets.

The foundations are in place for Türkiye to double down on its position as one of the world’s most dynamic digital asset markets.

Nearly $200bn in annual transaction volume. A robust crypto asset licensing framework. And now the arrival of RLUSD. Let’s go! 🚀

Big week ahead at @IstanbulBlockWk 🚀

🇹🇷 crypto adoption is absolutely staggering right now; $200 Billion in transaction volume over the last year, making it the No.1 crypto market across the region by a landslide (4x larger than the UAE!)

I am honoured to be named one of @unlockbc's Top 20 MENA leaders for 2025, alongside some incredible peers in the digital assets space.

A big thank you to the Unlock team, and congratulations to all the winners.

I am proud that @Ripple is part of the momentum building across the MENA region's digital asset ecosystem
