Ripple CEO to Speak on Korea Blockchain Week: Details

As a seasoned financial analyst with extensive experience in the cryptocurrency market, I’m excited about Ripple’s recent announcement that CEO Brad Garlinghouse will be speaking at Korea Blockchain Week 2024. This event is significant for several reasons. Firstly, it underscores Ripple’s commitment to expanding its presence in Asia and engaging with local communities. Secondly, the timing of the event coincides with renewed discussions about XRP ETFs in the United States.


As a researcher focusing on fintech companies, I’m following the developments at Ripple closely. This September, anticipation is building among local communities in Asia as they wait for a keynote address from Ripple, the U.S.-based decacorn, to further understand their expansion plans in the region. Simultaneously, the recent approval of spot Ethereum Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) in the U.S. has sparked conversations about potential XRP ETFs.
