Ripple President Dropped the Endgame for XRP Holders

Ripple has quietly built one of the most significant transaction records in the digital asset space. The company has now facilitated $70 billion in payments through digital assets across approximately 40 million transactions. Those numbers reflect years of institutional groundwork.

Crypto commentator John Squire (@TheCryptoSquire) shared a video of Ripple President Monica Long discussing that milestone alongside what she sees coming next. He noted that Wall Street is now paying attention to XRP, and he believes too many people are still not.

A Breakthrough Year

Long did not hedge her outlook. She shared her conviction that 2026 will be a “huge breakthrough for stablecoin-based payments.” She also noted that the market was already beginning to take notice, pointing to really interesting market recognition of that opportunity.

Her comments position Ripple as an active participant in what she views as an accelerating shift in how payments move globally. Stablecoin-based payments sit at the center of that shift, and Ripple is building directly into that infrastructure with XRP and RLUSD.

XRP’s Role in the Payment Infrastructure Story

XRP functions as a bridge asset in Ripple’s payment network. As Ripple’s transaction volumes grow and stablecoin payment corridors expand, XRP sits within the broader payment infrastructure the company operates.

Long’s comments reinforce that Ripple is not waiting for adoption to materialize. The company is actively positioning itself ahead of what it sees as a breakout period.

Squire’s post reflects a view held by a growing number of market participants that XRP plays a structural role in this infrastructure and has moved beyond speculative trading.

Why the Market Is Starting to Pay Attention

Long pointed to 2025 as the year “market recognition” of the stablecoin payment opportunity began to emerge. Institutional interest in digital asset payments has grown alongside regulatory clarity in several key markets. Ripple’s existing transaction record gives it a credibility advantage in conversations with financial institutions.

With $70 billion in facilitated payments, Wall Street has good reason to pay attention to XRP. As institutional interest in the asset and its ecosystem rises, it could positively impact its adoption and price trajectory.

The Outlook for XRP in 2026

Squire’s post asks a direct question: who is still sleeping on XRP in 2026? Long’s comments suggest the window for that question to go unanswered is narrowing.

Ripple has the transaction history, the institutional relationships, and, according to Long, the conviction that stablecoin-based payments will break through in the near term.

XRP is central to how Ripple moves value across that network. As that network grows, so does the case for paying closer attention to where XRP fits within it.
