Garlinghouse will take the main stage for a fireside chat with XRPL Commons President David Bchiri on April 9 at 2:20 p.m. CET. The discussion is intended to be rich with insights into the future of finance and how Ripple and XRPL together can deliver real-world utility.
As a market leader, the Ripple CEO is well-positioned to serve as a significant source of information for the future of financial technology.
Garlinghouse is expected to share his perspective on the growth of blockchain and digital assets, particularly what’s to come for Ripple.
Ripple has made key strides in 2024. The most recent is the announcement of a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the USD on XRP Ledger and Ethereum. This move will expand Ripple’s reach into institutional and DeFi markets, broadening use cases and improving its payment infrastructure, bringing traditional and decentralized finance closer together.
In February, Ripple announced a partnership with Zoniqx (previously known as Tassets), a pioneer in digital asset management, to leverage the XRP Ledger (XRPL) infrastructure.
The same month, Ripple and the Axelar Foundation announced a collaboration to bring greater interoperability to XRP Ledger (XRPL). The integration also intends to bolster the XRPL DeFi ecosystem by providing necessary liquidity for stablecoins and large-cap assets.
