Ripple lands on the CNBC Disruptor 50 at No. 16 @Ripple ranks No. 16 on CNBC's 2026 Disruptor 50, tagged "New money" and the highest-placed crypto-native company on a list otherwise topped by AI firms (Anthropic at No. 1, OpenAI No. 2). @CNBC credited the blockchain payment infrastructure Ripple sells to banks, built around the XRP Ledger and its native token $XRP, plus its $RLUSD stablecoin and growing traction across Asia and emerging markets. It pointed to the 2025 close of Ripple's long-running SEC case, which had clouded XRP for years, as the turning point that unblocked US adoption. CNBC noted institutional uptake remains uneven.
