Ripple’s 2026 Vision: Crypto Adoption for Fortune 500

Ripple is the one that is walking on the path of its leadership’s words, a defining moment for crypto. According to Ripple President Monica Long, the entire market is gradually moving from experiments and speculation to the “production era”, where money will flow through the world in a different way, due to the coming in of institutional scale, deep liquidity, and everyday utility.

Monica Long through a series of public statements made it clear that Ripple is the one to be at the core of this transition. The focus is no more on the hype; it is on the infrastructure, the integration, and the speed.

Ripple and Rise of Stablecoin Infrastructure

Ripple interprets stablecoins as more than mere trading instruments or niche payment means. According to Long, they are gradually turning out to be the core of modern finance. Stablecoins in her words will no longer be standing next to the traditional system. They will be directly wired into it.

This could mean that in the near future, the global settlement would be powered by stablecoins just like the legacy rails did in the past. Banks, fintech companies, and payment providers are already paving the path for the technology that supports this scenario. The assumption of Long is that once these integrations are finished, stablecoins will be operating in the background of everyday finance unnoticed.

This transformation is very significant because it gets rid of friction. The settlement process gets faster. The costs go down. The liquidity can be moved without any restrictions. Ripple has consistently maintained that utility is the driving force behind value, and stablecoins are the ones delivering that utility on such a huge scale.

Ripple, Fortune 500 Adoption, and Market Expansion

Long estimates that by the year 2026, around 50% of the Fortune 500 companies will have crypto exposure in one way or another. This will be made up of tokenized assets, onchain Treasury bills, stablecoins, and programmable financial instruments.

She refers to crypto as the new operating layer of finance. It is not a side experiment. Not a hedge. It is a core system which companies will depend on.

Long has also spoken about the capital markets, stating that crypto ETFs are an inflection point. She indicates that while ETFs are opening up institutional access, they are still just a small representation of what can be done in the future. The growth, according to her, will come through collateral mobility, assets that switch hands with no restrictions among systems and markets.

Analysts: The number of crypto projects with a market capitalization exceeding $100 million has decreased from 477 in November 2021 to 388.

PANews reported on November 13th that crypto analyst Route 2 FI posted that in November 2021, there were 477 projects with a market capitalization exceeding $100 million, while now that number has dropped to 388 (including stablecoins). His analysis is as follows: 1. November 2021 was almost the peak of altcoins in the previous cycle, and altcoins haven't truly experienced a crazy surge in this cycle; 2. At that time, tokens with low circulating supply and high fully diluted valuations (FDV) were uncommon. If ranked by the number of projects with a fully diluted valuation exceeding $100 million, this number should be higher now than in 2021; 3. Liquidity and funds are increasingly concentrated in fewer, larger projects, meaning that even with an increase in total market capitalization, smaller altcoins will find it difficult to achieve high valuations; 4. After several rounds of hype, retail and institutional investors are more cautious, favoring tokens and ecosystems with practical value and proven track records, rather than speculative tokens. In addition, the analyst mentioned that there were 1,153 projects with a market value of over $10 million in 2021, while the number has now reached 1,227, and he originally thought the number would be higher.
