2026 Could Change Everything, Says Ripple Executive
Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: 2026 Could Change Everything, Says Ripple Executive Original Link: Ripple Senior Executive Officer/Managing Director, Middle East and Africa, Reece Merrick expressed optimism about 2026. Merrick stated that the energy at Ripple is remarkable right now. This comes following recent developments, with Ripple securing an EMI license in the U.K.
Merrick highlighted that 2025 was foundational, with acquisitions made, and with the U.K. EMI license now in place, 2026 is shaping up to be a total game changer. The executive emphasized that Ripple takes the long view rather than being distracted by hype cycles, focusing on building the infrastructure that matters for the future of finance.
CEO Brad Garlinghouse: Ripple firing all cylinders
In his first statement of 2026, CEO Brad Garlinghouse confirmed that 2025 (and Q4 especially) were successful for Ripple. Garlinghouse noted that Ripple’s two major acquisitions, Ripple Prime and GTreasury, significantly accelerate and expand the company’s ability to deliver on its vision of enabling the Internet of Value. XRP has been and will continue to be the heartbeat of that vision, the Ripple CEO added.
With a U.K. EMI license now secured, Ripple is positioned to make 2026 even more consequential. The company will continue taking the long-term view of what crypto assets, including XRP and RLUSD, can achieve, rather than chasing market cycles and hype.
“Bring on 2026. We are firing on all cylinders. It’s happening,” Garlinghouse said.
Ripple’s recent developments
Ripple announced a major regulatory milestone as it secured approval of an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license and Cryptoasset Registration from the U.K.'s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
This approval will allow Ripple to expand its licensed payments platform, enabling U.K. institutions to send cross-border payments using digital assets.
Ripple also announced an expansion of its strategic collaboration with a major banking custodian, the primary reserve custodian of RLUSD. This comes as the custodian launched tokenized deposit services for institutional clients, bringing digital assets directly into the banking system, with Ripple Prime as an early adopter.
