Gate News message, April 17 — Ripple executive Marcus Infiner outlined the company’s strategy for institutional adoption during Paris Blockchain Week, highlighting how blockchain technology is becoming core financial infrastructure rather than a parallel system.
Infiner emphasized that the digital transformation of financial markets will require collaboration between crypto-native companies and legacy financial institutions. He noted that financial institutions are increasingly open to using public blockchain networks, a shift from earlier reliance on private systems. He identified the XRP Ledger as central to Ripple’s institutional strategy, citing its built-in compliance features, permission controls, and deterministic settlement capabilities that appeal to larger financial institutions. According to Infiner, the network’s design enables integration without requiring major changes to existing operational systems.
Ripple is focusing on real-world applications including cross-border payments, stablecoins, and on-chain financial markets such as repurchase agreements (securities sold with an agreement to repurchase at a future date). Infiner pointed to inefficiencies in traditional financial infrastructure, such as slow settlement processes and capital constraints, as areas where blockchain-based systems can improve performance. He stated that broader adoption will depend on demonstrating measurable economic value and integrating blockchain into existing financial frameworks.
