Ripple’s Bold Move: Is Crypto Finally Breaking Free from Regulatory Chains?

by

In a riveting session at the XRPL Apex event in the bustling metropolis of Singapore, Ripple President Monica Long finally decided to lift the veil on what she perceives as a “real turning point” for the beleaguered crypto industry: regulatory clarity. Yes, you heard it right—clarity! A concept as rare as a unicorn in the crypto jungle.

During her closing keynote on Day 1 of the XRPL Apex event, Long emphasized a momentum shift, with regulatory certainty being the proverbial straw that might just break the camel’s back. Or perhaps, the one that finally gets the camel to dance?

Long, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes, proclaimed that what distinguishes this moment from the countless others is indeed regulatory clarity. “It’s taken time to get to where we are in this moment, but it has never been better,” she declared, as if she were announcing the arrival of spring after a long, harsh winter.

For years, Ripple, much like its blockchain brethren, faced a veritable minefield of hesitancy from potential partners, all due to the murky waters of regulatory uncertainty surrounding crypto. But lo and behold! Recent developments hint at clearer policies and enforcement guidelines, and the regulatory fog that once loomed ominously over the crypto landscape is gradually beginning to lift. Cue the triumphant music!

RippleX, the developer-focused arm of Ripple, echoed Long’s sentiments in a post on X: “Regulatory clarity. Ripple President Monica Long closes out Day 1 on the Apex main stage by sharing how clear rules in the U.S. can unlock massive opportunities for global crypto innovation and why momentum is finally shifting.” Because who doesn’t love a good echo?

Momentum shifting

In a separate tweet, RippleX shared insights from a session at XRPL Apex 2025, where the dynamic trio of Brad Garlinghouse, Monica Long, and Pat Patel took the main stage to dissect the growing U.S. shift, APAC momentum, and how institutions are driving blockchain’s next phase—from stablecoins to RWAs. “I think people grossly underestimate how much momentum will be created by the largest economy in the world finally shifting into a pro-innovation and pro-crypto posture,” they mused, likely while sipping on overpriced lattes.

In a major milestone that could make even the most stoic crypto enthusiast crack a smile, tokenized U.S. Treasuries are now live on XRPL: Ondo Finance’s OUSG, backed by BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, unlocks 24/7 institutional access and is mintable and redeemable using Ripple USD (RLUSD). RippleX heralds this as a new era for on-chain finance. Because who doesn’t want to mint their own money?

And as if that wasn’t enough to tickle your fancy, the Digital Commercial Paper (DCP) is now live on the XRP Ledger, managed by Guggenheim Treasury Services, one of the world’s leading independent commercial paper platform administrators, and powered by Zeconomy. Yes, folks, the future is here, and it’s looking rather snazzy!
