“By integrating our technology into Chipper Cash’s
platform, we’re enabling faster, more affordable cross-border payments while
driving economic growth and innovation across the markets they serve,” said
Reece Merrick, Managing Director of Middle East and Africa at Ripple.
Ripple previously expanded its payments operations in Africa
through a partnership with Onafriq in 2023. The company claims to provide
digital asset infrastructure for financial institutions, covering over 90
payout markets. It reports processing more than $70 billion in transaction
volume and holding over 60 regulatory licenses globally.
“With over a decade of experience in tokenizing
real-world assets, Ripple’s journey began by bringing fiat currencies on-chain
to simplify international money transfers. As the global cross-border payments
market grows, more institutions like Chipper Cash are tapping into the
transformative power of blockchain technology to drive efficiency and
innovation,” Merrick added.
Chipper Cash Leverages Ripple for Cross-Border Payments
Chipper Cash, which operates in nine African countries and
serves five million customers, will use Ripple’s crypto-enabled payments
solution to facilitate global fund transfers. The integration aims to provide
24/7 access to cross-border payments while reducing transaction time and costs.
“Through integrating with Ripple’s global payments
network, we are excited to be able to harness the transformative potential of
blockchain technology to enable consumers to receive payments faster and at
lower cost,” Ham Serunjogi, Co-Founder & CEO at Chipper Cash,
commented.
Ripple Gains Attention with New Partnerships, SEC Lawsuit,
and Global Initiatives
Ripple has gained attention recently due to several
developments. Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, recently
commented on the role of cryptocurrencies in US strategic reserves after
President Trump's executive order listed Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and
Cardano. Saylor suggested that XRP should be issued within a regulatory
framework.
The company has expanded its
partnerships with Revolut and Zero Hash, positioning itself to compete with
USDT and USDC. In Portugal, Ripple is collaborating with Unicâmbio to enable
instant payments between Portugal and Brazil using digital assets.
In South Korea, BDACS
will utilize Ripple Custody to secure XRP and RLUSD, while Ripple donated
$100,000 in XRP for California wildfire relief. Ripple expects Japanese banks
to adopt the XRP Ledger for cross-border payments by 2025.
In the DeFi space, Ripple is working with Chainlink to
integrate RLUSD into Ethereum-based platforms. Investor interest remains high,
with whales
purchasing 520 million tokens during a recent market dip.

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
