Ripple president: Half of Fortune 500 firms to adopt crypto this year

Ripple Labs President Monica Long has predicted that half of Fortune 500 companies will adopt cryptocurrencies this year, with the related market expected to grow to over $1 trillion, Cointelegraph reports. In a blog post, Long stated that she anticipates a sharp increase in institutional crypto adoption, moving beyond simple exposure to include participation in tokenized assets, crypto treasury management, stablecoins, and on-chain government bonds. She cited a Coinbase survey from mid-2025 which found that six out of 10 Fortune 500 executives were already pursuing blockchain initiatives. Long also projected that stablecoins will become the foundation of the global payments system within the next five years.
