Ripple Questions Big Corporations’ Blockchain Uptake
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse is wondering why major firms such as Amazon are still yet to adopt blockchain solutions, including the XRP Ledger. Instead, he observed that it is not a matter of whether it should be adopted but when. This is when XRP is getting the attention of such huge investors. Institutional inflows to XRP reached up to $32.5 million in the past week only. It makes XRP one of the most appealing assets to the financial companies at the moment.
Why Legal Clarity Turned the Game
Ripple eventually paid off the legal tussle it had with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in August 2025. The case had left XRP in uncertainty over years. The token was shunned by many investors who did not know whether it was going to be regarded as security. The settlement also terminated all the appeals and provided Ripple and XRP with an undisputed legal ground. This has increased the confidence of the institutions and has created new avenues of partnerships. It also discusses the reasons why inflows have increased hugely during recent weeks.
XRP Price and Performance.
Ripple XRP is being traded at approximately 3.09. The cryptocurrency has a market capitalization of more than 184 billion dollars which is the third largest. The volumes are also high as trading is done on a daily basis in the market. This wave is being spearheaded by institutional investors like the hedge funds and the mega financial institutions. To them, XRP can be used to have rapid and cheap transaction particularly with cross-border payments. This is a major cause of an increase in inflows.
Ripple is not paying attention to XRP alone. It is also increasing its ecosystem. One has been the release of RLUSD that is a stablecoin that is pegged to the U.S. dollar. The purpose of RLUSD is to provide users with stability, but to run on the XRP Ledger. The payment network, RippleNet, of the company is also expanding. It links banking institutions and remittance companies in the global market enabling cheap and quick international transactions. Such actions indicate that Ripple intends not only to be a crypto project but also a worldwide leader in payments.
