šØ Monica Long Just Defined XRP in 2026 as āInstitutional Adoption At Scale.ā
But you have to understand why 2026 could finally be the year for XRPš
David Schwartz said that the reason institutions have been transacting with ripple off-chain/off-XRPL despite having 300+ bank partnerships and 100+ countries paymentās licenses is because of lack of instititional trust and security to deploy trillions of dollars on chain securely.
The solution to this he said are Permissioned Domains.
This year, Permissioned Dex and Domains go live on XRPL.
(1) Permissioned DEX: A regulated on-chain marketplace where only verified participants (like banks and institutions) can trade, combining blockchain speed with compliance.
(2) Permissioned Domains: Identity-linked wallet access that ensures only authorized, credentialed entities can interact on the network, adding trust and security for institutional flows.
@DNAOnChain has been the sole, key protocol on the XRPL working on zk-proof identity, privacy and credential systems for institutional capital to be deployed securely on-chain via Permissioned domains.
Permissioned DEX + permissioned domains mean institutions can finally transact on-chain with verified counterparties, controlled access, and regulatory alignment, removing the biggest barrier that kept trillions on the sidelines.
As of 2026, XRPL is the only chain with such a feature that could finally scale institutional adoptions to trillions, with Ripple already securing global central banks, institutions and partnerships.
2026 isnāt about speculation anymore.
Itās about infrastructure going live.
