She also drew attention to the immediate positive reactions from major financial institution executives. She stated that Bryan Moynihan, CEO of Bank of America, expressed they were “all in,” signaling a readiness to deepen involvement with Ripple’s solutions. The CEO recently spoke on Bank of America’s readiness to join the digital asset space , noting that it has been preparing for this shift.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has acknowledged this shift, attributing the renewed acceptance of cryptocurrencies to the “ Trump effect .” The post by BullRunners suggested that BlackRock’s involvement in the market through an XRP ETF would open the floodgates for XRP. While BlackRock has yet to file for an ETF, the company recently met with the SEC’s crypto task force to discuss ETF approval standards , suggesting it is interested in the market. Long’s comments reflect optimism that the barriers Ripple has faced are now being lifted, with major banks beginning to treat its products and XRP as viable components of the future financial system.
