Ripple President Monica Long has indicated that a significant shift in institutional engagement with blockchain technology may be imminent.
Speaking in an interview shared on X by Crypto influencer Xaif (@Xaif_Crypto), Long reflected on the changing attitudes of major financial institutions, describing what appears to be a decisive turn in sentiment after years of uncertainty.
“It feels like the floodgates are going to open this year,” she said, referencing renewed interest from global banks that had previously held back due to regulatory hesitation.
According to Long, institutions such as Bank of America, one of Ripple’s early partners during its initial payment solution phase, are now showing a marked increase in enthusiasm for XRP adoption.

Changing Tone from Major Banks
Long described a notable shift in the approach of banking executives, particularly in the wake of recent U.S. regulatory and political developments. She recalled that in the past, many institutions were discouraged by what she described as a lack of clarity and, at times, hostility toward using digital assets like XRP. This, she noted, created a difficult environment for innovation and collaboration.
Her comments suggested that this period of hesitation is now giving way to renewed momentum. She stated, “You hear from CEOs like Bank of America saying, we’re all in,” revealing the return of institutional confidence to XRP and the broader crypto market, particularly among banks that have maintained relationships with Ripple.
Optimism and Policy Shifts
Long also linked the change in tone to the U.S. presidential election, noting that conversations with banks on partnerships in reserve banking and transaction services for Ripple’s stablecoin and payments operations have changed significantly.

She explained that the shift occurred “overnight” after the election narrative began influencing expectations about financial policy and regulatory direction. This optimism aligns with growing speculation within the digital asset space that 2025 is a turning point for institutional adoption.
Xaif, who shared the interview, remarked that once BlackRock announces its XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF), it could trigger a surge in institutional participation, an expectation widely echoed across the crypto community, though not confirmed by either company.
Renewed Confidence in Digital Assets
Long’s remarks suggest that Ripple sees a clear path forward for deeper collaboration between financial institutions and blockchain technology providers.
With longstanding partners reportedly re-engaging in discussions about payments and stablecoin infrastructure, XRP’s position as a bridge between traditional finance and blockchain-based systems appears to be strengthening.
