As the cryptocurrency landscape becomes more welcoming and defined by clear guidelines, we expect the discussion to delve into the opportunities and challenges ahead.
Speaking at the Binance event will be Reece Merrick, Ripple’s Managing Director for the Middle East and Africa, who will discuss the “next era of payment rails” and delve into how blockchain-powered payment networks will modernize global payments, speed, and financial connectivity.
Speakers at the next Binance event will include Strategic Chairman Michael Saylor, Real Vision Co-Founder and CEO, and other top industry leaders. The highlight of the event will be an extensive debate on Bitcoin and tokenized gold between Goldbug and Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff and Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Chao.
In this big showdown, two heavyweights will go head-to-head over whether the future will be ruled by Bitcoin or tokenized gold.
Do you want to move forward?
2025 was, without a doubt, a great year for Ripple and a record year for cryptocurrencies as a whole. This concludes the SEC’s Ripple lawsuit, and the SEC also dismissed a number of other lawsuits, including one filed against Binance and founder Zhao Changpeng, marking a symbolic end to an era of aggressive crypto enforcement.
In the recently concluded swell event, Ripple announced a $500 million investment led by Fortress Investment Group and an affiliate of Citi Securities to reach a valuation of $40 billion.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said the investment not only validates Ripple’s growth strategy and business built on the foundation of XRP, but is also a clear bet on what the future of cryptocurrencies will hold.
