Ripple Looks to Hire VP for Major Institutional Push into DeFi on XRPL

The post Ripple Looks to Hire VP for Major Institutional Push into DeFi on XRPL appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Ripple is on the hunt for a Vice President of Partnerships to lead its push into institutional decentralized finance. 

This is a big step towards bringing major financial players onto the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and scaling its adoption. 

Here’s why this new opening is a major signal! 

RippleX to Drive Institutional Adoption

The new VP will join RippleX, Ripple’s development arm, and lead a global team focused on strategic business development and partner success. The goal is to build strong partnerships with institutional players, including asset managers, tokenization platforms, and stablecoin providers.

The role will center on driving real-world use cases like tokenized assets, cross-border payments, and on-chain credit systems.

It also calls for someone with deep capital markets experience and a proven track record of bridging traditional finance with decentralized technologies.

Performance will be measured through the growth of tokenized asset volumes, market cap, and transaction flows on XRPL.

Ripple’s Bold Moves towards Defi Expansion

The company’s expansion plans don’t stop at new hires, of course. 

In July, Ripple applied for a U.S. national bank charter and a Federal Reserve Master account to enhance its role in the financial system. This move will help reduce costs, speed up payments, and add regulatory legitimacy.
