Ripple's president told CNBC that payments are the most powerful application of blockchain, and seeing more participants entering this field is a positive sign.

She mentioned that as technological trends change, the industry will undergo some consolidation in the future, but the key lies in:
Who truly bridges the gap between blockchain and traditional networks and maintains compliance throughout the entire process?

She emphasized that Ripple serves banks and fintech companies, "who don't want any trouble," so the experience must be simple enough.

She pointed out that the Asia-Pacific region has become a leader in real-world crypto applications:
This year, regional cryptocurrency trading volume has increased by approximately 70% year-on-year.
More than $1 billion has already been invested in this field in the first half of 2025.

"The Asia-Pacific region is a leading and mature market, which is reflected in our customer adoption rates."
