Let’s Open Thread👇🏻
Davos The Global Stage
Davos isn’t just another conference.
It’s where world leaders, central bankers, and the biggest CEOs shape the future of money.
Ripple wasn’t there as a startup.
It was there as a player.

The Internet of Value
Brad opened with a bold vision:
“We think about the Internet of Value the same way the Internet of Information changed the world.”
Translation?
$XRP is the TCP/IP for money moving value globally as easily as sending an email.

The CBDC Prediction
Months before most people even knew what a CBDC was…
Brad told Davos:
“Central banks will issue digital currencies, but they won’t solve interoperability. That’s where we come in.”
Ripple had already built the bridge.

The SWIFT Warning
Brad didn’t hold back:
“SWIFT is an old horse that can’t keep up with the race.”
While others tiptoed around the banking establishment…
Ripple said it out loud.

The Lawsuit That Followed
Less than a year later the SEC sued Ripple.
Coincidence?
Or did someone want to slow down the “Internet of Value”?

The Silent Expansion
Even during the lawsuit…
Ripple expanded corridors.
Partnered with more banks.
And quietly positioned $XRP as the CBDC bridge asset.

Why It Matters in 2025
CBDCs are no longer theory.
They’re rolling out globally.
Brad’s Davos speech wasn’t a prediction it was a blueprint.
And Ripple is following it, step by step.

The Endgame
When the Internet of Value becomes reality…
And CBDCs need a bridge…
Remember Davos 2020.
Brad Garlinghouse told you what was coming.
