For this week’s episode, Jacquelyn interviewed Monica Long, the president of Ripple, a blockchain-based digital payment network and protocol.

Monica has spent the last 10 years at Ripple, working her way up from the director of communications to now, president. Ripple has been around since 2012 and is one of the oldest crypto entities. In recent years, it was in a legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from December 2020 until summer of 2023, over whether or not its token, XRP, should be registered as a security.

Then, this past July, Ripple scored a victory against the SEC after a US federal judge ruled that secondary XRP sales, or sales to retail investors, aren’t investment contracts or securities. But when it comes to sales with institutional clients, it could be treated as one.

In the meantime, Ripple had been doubling down on global transactions and payments, among other elements.

We talked about Monica’s career growth, cross-border payments, traditional finance and the need for regulatory clarity.

We also dove into:

  • Ripple’s suit with the SEC
  • The XRP Ledger
  • Its focus for 2024
  • Advice for the community
