Money Matter’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian started her day early at Raffles City Convention Centre to speak with enterprise blockchain and cryptocurrency player Ripple. 

That is because the firm’s global leadership team flew in from the US for Apex 2025, or what’s said to be the largest annual summit on the XRPL calendar bringing together developers, businesses, fintechs, researchers, VCs and more.

Founded in 2012, Ripple uses blockchain technology to help global financial institutions, businesses, and developers to move, manage and tokenise value. 

In Singapore, the firm received in-principle approval by the Monetary Authority of Singapore in November 2024 to offer digital payment token products and services in the country. So what should we know about the significance of Singapore as a market to Ripple, as well as the firm’s plans for the region?

Meanwhile, what is also worthy of note is how the US Securities and Exchange Commission has decided to settle a long-running legal battle against the firm. 

While the lawsuit may be over, how far is Ripple's plans in APAC a response to regulatory challenges in the US, and how is the firm then navigating the regulatory landscape in Asia?

On this “On the Go” Special episode of Under the Radar, Tian Tian posed these questions to Monica Long, President, Ripple.
