Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse could hardly contain his excitement over the appointment of Monica Long as the new president.

Long, who has been with Ripple since 2013 when the company only had ten employees, expressed her excitement about her appointment, stating: “Over half of my professional career has been in crypto, and more importantly, at Ripple. I’m incredibly honored and ready to hit the ground running as president.” With Long’s appointment as President amid the ongoing SEC lawsuit, Ripple is poised for a critical period in its history.

Long is expected to play a key role in navigating the company through this critical moment and ensuring its continued growth and expansion after her promotion.

Long’s Contribution to Ripple’s Growth

Long mentioned that her main focus as President of Ripple will be to continue scaling the company and growing its team, even in the current challenging crypto environment. Long joined Ripple when the company was starting and has played a major role in its growth, spearheading the development of its On-Demand Liquidity solution, which was launched in 2018.

The On-Demand Liquidity solution has proven to be a game-changer for the cross-border payments industry. The solution is based on using XRP as a bridge currency and has enabled financial institutions to process cross-border payments faster, cheaper, and more efficiently.

On the Flipside

• The lawsuit against Ripple Labs is currently ongoing, the result of which remains unclear.
• Despite the controversies and the SEC suit, Ripple has continued to grow and expand.
