The inevitable expansion of the industry and the most ambitious goals are united in the opinion of Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of $XRP , and CVO @Yaroslav Ivanov from ALTA - Blockchain Laboratory, which has a bold vision for the future as it navigates market fluctuations with confidence, continuing tokenization and adapting VC and founders for the cryptocurrency industry. They had time to discuss at #Consensus2024 around XRP's worldwide strategy and the issue of the ETF.
Discusses BlackRock XRP ETF
"I think it's just a matter of time, and it's inevitable there's gonna be an XRP ETF, there's gonna be a Solana (SOL) ETF, there's gonna be a Cardano (ADA) ETF, and that's great." Brad said.
During an interview with Fox Business in early 2024, Blackrock CEO Larry Fink was pressed about a potential XRP ETF from the world's largest asset management firm. When asked about the possibility of the $10 trillion asset manager bringing an XRP ETF to the market, Fink responded by saying that he couldn't discuss this. While Fink's answer was far from conclusive, it managed to spark speculation within the XRP community that Blackrock may have an XRP ETF in the works.
Magical time in crypto
Ripple has been at the forefront of leveraging blockchain technology for real-world applications, particularly in the realm of cross-border payments. In the year, Ripple unveiled its vision and road map for institutional DeFi on #XRP Ledger. Despite facing challenges, including regulatory scrutiny and market fluctuations, the crypto space has shown remarkable resilience and innovation. The emergence of new platforms, the integration of blockchain into various sectors and the increasing interest from traditional financial institutions all contribute to the "magical" atmosphere Garlinghouse describes.
As Ripple & ALTA and other key players in the industry continue to drive innovation and adoption, it indeed appears to be a magical time to be involved in the world of crypto.
