And what happened when this news broke? Did SOL rocket to the moon as expected? Nope. It dipped slightly, because markets are fickle creatures, much like cats with Wi-Fi issues.

But his most recent chapter—leading Ripple’s institutional DeFi efforts—offers a clear window into how blockchain and tokenization are poised to redefine the future of money.
