Ripple is a leading global financial technology company that provides crypto solutions for businesses. This includes blockchain-based financial infrastructure, enabling fast, low-cost, and transparent cross-border transactions. Through its digital asset solutions and engagement with regulators, Ripple works to promote interoperability, compliance, and innovation across the global financial system.

The challenge

As blockchain adoption accelerates, institutional confidence in digital assets still faces hurdles — from fragmented regulations and differing interpretations of stablecoin fungibility to a lack of shared technical understanding across jurisdictions.
