Echoing sentiments reminiscent of Bezos’s 1999 interview about Amazon’s prolonged lack of profitability, Garlinghouse emphasized Ripple’s commitment to future sustainability during his speech at the Token2049 conference in Singapore.

He expressed his dedication to further investments, expansions, and acquisitions, firmly believing in the direction of the evolving world.

Further reinforcing the optimistic outlook for Ripple, the company’s Chief Technical Officer, David Schwartz, hinted at the imminent real-world asset (RWA) tokenization of XRP within the coming year or year and a half. This anticipated move could mark a significant milestone for the company, potentially opening new avenues for growth and utilization within the crypto landscape.

With Ripple’s strategic alignment with Amazon’s historical path, it remains to be seen how the company will navigate the evolving crypto ecosystem, leveraging its visionary approach to cement its position in the market.
