Ah, Latin America-a region so fervently embracing cryptocurrency that even its regulatory debates could rival an opera’s dramatic crescendo. Isabel Longhi, Ripple’s Director of Public Policy and Regulatory Affairs for LatAm, has declared it nothing less than the epicenter of global crypto discourse. How delightfully inconvenient for those who thought innovation was confined to Silicon Valley! 😉
In a recent tête-à-tête with Criptonoticias at Blockchain Rio (a gathering grand enough to make 20,000 people question their life choices), Longhi unveiled Ripple’s aspirations: to be as involved in shaping regulations as one is in gossiping about them. “We’re here for stablecoins, tokenization, virtual asset service providers-essentially everything except tea parties,” she quipped, her tone dripping with both sincerity and ambition.
But alas, not all tales are triumphant. The once-promising saga of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) appears to have taken a rather languid turn in LatAm. “The CBDC train seems to have derailed-or perhaps just paused for a coffee break,” Longhi remarked, adding that while progress may be slower than expected, Ripple remains ready to lend a hand should these projects awaken from their slumber. ☕️
“Now, the CBDC issue isn’t evolving as it did in the past-not only in Brazil but across Latin America, or perhaps globally. The development of these projects has slowed down a bit. That’s why we’re not as engaged with this. But it’s something that Ripple, if it can, will support.”
Longhi spared no wit when evaluating regional regulatory efforts. She praised Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia like proud parents at a school play, while Mexico and Chile received critiques sharper than a well-crafted bon mot. And yet, despite the uneven progress, she crowned LatAm as “the leader in cryptocurrency discussions worldwide.” One might say they’ve earned their scepter, albeit forged in blockchain rather than gold.
Ripple’s influence in the region grows stronger by the day, with Bitso reporting that a staggering 12% of crypto portfolios in LatAm hold XRP. Could this be mere coincidence, or is Ripple subtly rewriting the script of financial history? Either way, the show must go on-and Latin America, darling, you’re stealing the spotlight. 🎭✨
