Ripple president endorses recent AI strategic investment
Monica Long endorsed the recent seed funding round of the t54 company that produces AI agents, aiming to build an agentic economy of the future. In particular, the company is focused on building the trust layer of the agentic economy that is coming to take over from the traditional one.
Its X post quoted by Long reminds the community that AI agents already conduct a large portion of financial transactions, but they are “unverified and unaccountable.” t54 has raised $5 million from investors led by Anagram, PL Capital and Franklin Templeton. Ripple has joined them, making a strategic investment in t54.

Ripple president predicts DeFi institutional adoption at scale in 2026
As reported by U.Today earlier, Long also forecast a massive adoption of decentralized finance (DeFi) systems, and the one provided by the XRP Ledger in particular, by financial institutions this year.
Monica Long made this statement about two weeks ago as she shared her emotions with the community after XRP Community Day, and she also made a point of mentioning that the U.K.’s biggest fund managers, Aviva Investors, transferred their assets on-chain using the XRPL.
She believes that other financial institutions are likely to follow suit this year: “In 2026, expect institutional adoption at scale!”
