NEW YORK – Labs Inc, a leading player in the cryptocurrency space, expects the industry to move toward practical applications and stricter regulatory compliance in the coming year. Monica Long, an executive at Ripple, emphasized that the company was focused on developing tools to ensure regulatory compliance, a move prompted by the collapse of several exchanges over the past year. This strategic shift is part of a broader effort to restore trust within the crypto market.
The company positions blockchain as a complementary technology to traditional financial systems rather than a replacement. This outlook aligns with Ripple’s established role in facilitating efficient cross-border settlements through its cryptocurrency, XRP. Ripple’s ledger, XRPL, has already been used for significant projects, including supporting the development of Palau’s national stablecoin, demonstrating its potential impact on government cryptocurrency initiatives.
In addition to the industry-wide changes, Ripple’s legal counsel Stuart Alderoty expressed optimism about the imminent resolution of Ripple’s ongoing litigation with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Alderoty predicts that this outcome will lead to increased government oversight within the US crypto regulatory landscape.
Ripple’s thoughts come at a crucial time for the cryptocurrency industry, which must navigate challenges of trust and regulation while continuing to innovate and expand its real-world applications.
