On June 5, 2024, I shared news of Ripple’s partnership with Clear Junction, an announcement that should have inspired confidence in the power of blockchain. Instead, I was met with skepticism. Some called it a scam, others dismissed the future of XRP entirely. Truth be told, their doubt didn’t surprise me. Throughout history, people have questioned every breakthrough before it changed the world.
This is the dawn of a new financial era. As Ripple’s General Manager for Europe, Cassie Craddock, said, “This is just the beginning.” In the end, the greatest revolutions often start with a few visionaries daring to believe that tomorrow can be better than today. Let’s keep believing—and building—together.
