Ripple’s Revolution Takes Off as Modernization Era Begins

With trillions of dollars changing hands globally, the current system controlled by SWIFT faces a major opportunity for improvement. Ripple’s CEO, Garlinghouse, points to SWIFT’s technology being over 50 years old, making it ripe for disruption by faster blockchain-based solutions like Ripple. While transformation takes time, especially when facing government resistance, innovation is gaining momentum. The election of President Trump has sparked a significant shift in the regulatory environment, accelerating adoption of blockchain technologies and boosting Ripple’s growth within the U.S. with notable deals signed after his win.
