ByTomiwabold Olajide

This is in line with the goals of the event, which is to catalyze more forward-thinking digital asset regulation, create a more decentralized, rather than centrally planned, global financial system, and drive greater institutional understanding and adoption of blockchain infrastructure.

Garlinghouse’s session is particularly notable because of its focus on financial infrastructure, given that Ripple has spent years positioning its technology around cross-border payments, digital assets and the modernization of financial systems.

While there is no indication that Garlinghouse will make a specific XRP announcement, his discussion might touch on areas relevant to the XRP Ledger ecosystem.

Nonetheless, the Ripple CEO’s appearance allows the XRP community to gain insights into the changing financial landscape and the role blockchain technology could play in it.

Eri noted that last year’s SALT event was streamed live and encouraged the crypto community to look out for potential coverage this year.
