Ripple's December Moves: Expansion Ambitions Behind an Interesting Incident

【Crypto World】Ripple Chief Technology Officer David Schwartz recently shared a little anecdote from the company. A new employee (from a recent acquisition) approached co-founder Chris Larsen and asked out of curiosity: “Wait… what exactly do you do at Ripple?” Schwartz said this might be the most hilarious moment he’s had in the company over the years.

Although this joke is funny, it reflects Ripple’s busy pace recently. Last December, the company was not idle — it participated in important industry conferences and forums, and completed several key acquisitions in a short period, including Rail and GTreasury projects. These actions point in the same direction: Ripple is actively expanding its presence in payment solutions and stablecoins, aiming to further strengthen its market position. Behind the employee expansion, there is actually an acceleration of the company’s strategic advancement.
