Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has revealed a $13 trillion opportunity, which 
cryptos like XRP and stablecoins could tap into. This came as he highlighted 
how blockchain technology is disrupting global finance with payments being 
made on-chain. Ripple CEO Reveals $13 Trillion Opportunity For XRP and 
Stablecoins In a FOX Business interview, the Ripple CEO revealed that 
GTreasury, the company they bought last year, processed $13 trillion in 
payments, and none of these payments were done through a stablecoin or crypto 
asset such as XRP. He declared that there is an opportunity to integrate 
crypto and stablecoins as blockchain technology becomes the go-to for payment 
rails. Related Reading: Expert Says Ripple’s XRP Is Designed For More, Here’s 
What He Means Garlinghouse also described stablecoins as an entry point to 
crypto adoption, calling it the “ChatGPT moment” for crypto. Notably, $33 
trillion total stablecoin trades happened globally last year. The Ripple CEO 
also noted that cross-border payments have become faster thanks to blockchain 
technology. The Ripple CEO recently revealed that they launched the RLUSD 
stablecoin because their payment operations were contributing up to 20% of 
USDC flows. As such, they saw it fit to launch their own product. The RLUSD 
has seen significant adoption as Ripple continues to expand its payment 
services, boasting a market cap of $1.41 billion. XRP plays a key role in 
these payment services, as Ripple primarily uses the XRP Ledger to process 
them. Crypto analyst ChartNerd noted that this is also a big opportunity for 
XRP, given that the SEC has declared the crypto asset is not a security. As 
such, institutions could move to adopt the crypto asset for payments. It could 
also enable Ripple to further integrate the altcoin into its payment services, 
seeing as it currently serves as the bridge currency. It is worth noting that 
during the recent interview, Garlinghouse again reiterated that XRP is the 
“North Star” for Ripple. Crypto Is Now Rewiring The Financial System In an X 
post, the Ripple CEO said that market participants are now seeing a shift in 
the perception of the crypto industry from “rat poison” to “pet rock” and then 
to rewiring the financial system. He added that now, some of the biggest 
companies worldwide are asking if they are using stablecoins and crypto assets 
such as XRP. Related Reading: Teucrium Founder Predicts What Will Happen To 
Ripple If XRP Price Goes To $3 Garlinghouse stated that Ripple has 
strategically focused their deal-making outside the echo chamber to bridge the 
gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and the crypto ecosystem and that 
those bets are paying off. The crypto firm notably acquired Hidden Road and 
GTreasury, which it is now using to integrate XRP and RLUSD into the TradFi 
ecosystem. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.34, 
up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image
