Ripple President Says XRP ETF Would Make a Lot of Sense

As a seasoned crypto investor with a keen interest in following regulatory developments and market trends, I find Ripple’s recent comments regarding an XRP ETF and their upcoming stablecoin project highly intriguing. Monica Long’s statements to CNBC align with my observations of the growing institutional interest in cryptocurrencies and the increasing clarity around the regulatory landscape for certain assets like Bitcoin and XRP in the US.


As a crypto investor, I’ve been closely following the developments in the world of digital assets. Recently, during an interview with CNBC, Ripple President Monica Long expressed her belief that an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) could be a viable and sensible option.

It’s worth noting that only XRP and Bitcoin have clear regulatory definitions in the United States. XRP has consistently ranked among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, and even more so if we consider daily trading volume. Based on this information, I believe it’s a reasonable assumption that XRP will continue to hold significance within the crypto space.

Following Brad Garlinghouse’s prediction of an imminent XRP spot ETF launch during a CNBC interview, Long made a statement. Garlinghouse explained that approving multiple altcoin ETFs would benefit investors who prefer diversification over sole exposure to a specific coin. He is also optimistic about the future success of upcoming Ethereum ETFs.

Advanced institutions are increasingly showing an interest in the crypto sector, and it is anticipated that this trend will continue. Established investors are making their entrance into this emerging market through the use of Bitcoin ETFs or tokenized investments.

Ripple’s stablecoin is expected this year 

As reported by U.Today, Ripple recently made a foray into the ultra-competitive stablecoin sector. 

The yet-to-be-named stablecoin project is expected to go live by the end of 2024 according to Long.

“She explained that they were making progress on all the necessary steps to introduce a product similar to this into the market.”

According to Long’s perspective, the significance of XRP won’t diminish once Ripple introduces its stablecoin, as XRP can continue to function as an intermediary token.

An executive at Ripple has indicated towards several estimates suggesting that the total market value of stablecoins could surpass $3 trillion by the end of the next five years.

As a crypto investor, I’ve noticed a significant surge in the popularity of stablecoins. These digital currencies offer me easy access to the value of the US dollar regardless of my location around the world. Plus, their convenience in facilitating transactions makes them an essential tool for my investment portfolio.
