Ripple Executive Says Firm Is Extremely Bullish on Turkey

Published at 2026-02-27 08:00:20

Ripple has signaled a strategic push into Turkey, with a senior executive describing the firm as "extremely bullish" on the country's potential. The comment frames Turkey as a priority market for expanding RippleNet and related liquidity services, suggesting a focus on faster, lower-cost cross-border payments.

Turkey's large population, high levels of crypto adoption and significant remittance flows make it a natural testing ground for blockchain payment infrastructure. Market participants will be watching for local partnerships, on‑ramp initiatives or pilots that could increase use of XRP for settlement. Any concrete moves by Ripple could shift demand dynamics for XRP and accelerate adoption of tokenized liquidity solutions among Turkish payment providers and remittance corridors.
