The Ripple Apex 2025 summit in Singapore has opened its doors!
The CEO Brad Garlinghouse went on stage alongside the president of Ripple, Monica Long and the CEO of GFTN, Pat Pate, deeply plunging into the crypto – pieces even in the way the institutional momentum resumes.
And in a notable tour, Garlinghouse had some new things to say about Dogecoin.
Garlinghouse softens on Doge, but same
After years having criticized the coins, Garlinghouse adopted a more measured approach this time, admitting that they are not going. “This is part of the ecosystem. He plays a role “,” he said, referring to the high liquidity of Dogecoin.
However, his main vision has not changed much, especially with regard to long -term value. “I have never bought a piece of the same, never,” He said, warning that space is still filled with scams, carpet prints and overhaul without users or real products.
Even the role of Elon Musk appeared. Garlinghouse admitted that Musk “brought a lot of capital to the ecosystem with Dogecoin”, but suggested that the benefits had also made more difficult than serious projects were taken seriously.
Why the Stablecoins are the real home
There was another discussion on what Ripple considers the most important corner of the crypto at the moment: stable. Garlinghouse said that it was “bullish on the stablecoins” and underlined Tether and USDC as light horses.
Ripple is already deeply involved – 20% of the USDC distribution occurs on the large XRP book. “This use case will be more important”, ” Garlinghouse noted, highlighting the potential for hipple to play a major role in this growth space.
He also referred to the success of the recent IPO of Circle as a sign of market management. “The IPO circle clearly went very well. It is a reflection of the interest of investors for the crypto, institutions and retail,” he said.
The regulations finally catches up
Garlinghouse thinks that the United States is running a corner on regulations. He underlined the Genius Act, a bill on stables should pass the Senate soon, as a key reason for optimism.
“Winds regulatory contrary has now become rear winds in the United States, and that’s good for the world landscape,” he said.
Other countries, including Hong Kong and South Korea, also advance with their own stable executives. This world change could make the adoption of regulated crypto more realistic in the short term.
XRP and the institutional push
Beyond the conversation on the same and the stablecoins, the situation as a whole at Apex 2025 was the accent put by Ripple on institutional adoption. Garlinghouse stressed how XRP is considered less to be a speculative asset and more as an infrastructure for cross -border finance.
While banks and governments explore the use of blockchain, Ripple’s message is clear: XRP is designed for long game and institutional support will be the key to driving its next chapter.
With strong momentum and regulatory clarity finally in sight, Ripple is positioned and XRP at the center of the next Crypto growth cycle.
