As an experienced financial analyst, I find Brad Garlinghouse’s announcement of Jack McDonald joining Ripple as senior vice president of stablecoins to be an intriguing development in the blockchain and digital asset industry. Having followed the careers of both executives, I am impressed by their extensive backgrounds in traditional finance and technology sectors.
On Tuesday, Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, extended a warm greeting to Jack McDonald upon his new role as senior vice president (SVP) of stablecoins at Ripple.
Garlinghouse expressed his delight in having McDonald join his team, as McDonald is familiar with the XRP Ledger (XRPL) ecosystem and personally known to him.
McDonald has over 30 years of expertise in the financial industry under his belt. He assumed the role of managing director at UBS Investment Bank back in the year 2000. More recently, in 2014, he took on the position of president and CEO at Conifer Financial Services.
I’m the leader at PolySign, a fintech company founded by Arthur Britto and David Schwartz from Ripple. One of our subsidiaries is Standard Custody, a reputable digital asset custodian solution under our wing.
According to U.Today’s report, Ripple disclosed its intention to acquire Standard Custody back in February, aiming to broaden its collection of regulatory permits. This deal occurred approximately a year after the company sealed the purchase of Metaco, a Swiss cryptocurrency custody firm, for $250 million.
In January, the company announced its intentions to enter the crowded stablecoin market with a new dollar-backed cryptocurrency. This digital currency, as revealed by U.Today, will initially operate on both the XRP Ledger and Ethereum networks. According to Ripple President Monica Long’s prediction, this project is expected to launch this year.
According to Tuesday’s announcement by Ripple, the Standard Custody deal has already been finalized. In this arrangement, McDonald will continue to hold the CEO position at Standard Custody while taking on the role of Ripple’s SVP for stablecoins.
Based on a recent blog post, the financially robust company has the potential to continue its active acquisition streak.
