As an analyst with extensive experience in the financial sector, I find Raghuram Rajan’s decision to join Ripple‘s advisory board as both intriguing and strategic. His background as a former Governor of the Reserve Bank of India and his deep understanding of central banking and finance make him an invaluable asset for Ripple, particularly in navigating the complex regulatory landscape surrounding stablecoins like RLUSD.
Raghuram Rajan, a previous Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, is set to become part of Ripple’s advisory team. His role will involve offering strategic advice on regulatory, financial, and operational matters to help strengthen and expand RLUSD (Ripple’s USD-linked digital asset).
According to the recent statement, Rajan posits that stablecoins could dramatically transform payment methods due to their secure, flexible, and streamlined nature compared to conventional systems. Additionally, Kenneth Montgomery, a previous official from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, is now part of the governing body.
He expressed that RLUSD prioritizes adherence, dependability, and is striving to establish new standards for trustworthiness. By being involved in the advisory team, he can provide valuable advice as RLUSD maneuvers through the rapidly evolving financial world and contributes significantly to the future of payment systems.
I’ve had my reservations about cryptocurrencies in the past, noting that they haven’t been widely adopted for large-scale uses yet and wondering if they can truly match the stability of conventional currencies.
In 2022, he expressed the view that digital currencies like cryptocurrencies are more dependable compared to traditional fiat currencies, as he deemed central bankers as unreliable. This perspective was not widely held, being embraced by a relatively small number of people.
2023 saw him stress that the fall in crypto prices underscored the importance of concentrating on the technology’s “real worth” instead of speculative excitement. He pointed out that traditional currencies still enjoy more trustworthiness than cryptocurrencies, which suffered a blow to their credibility during incidents like the FTX controversy.
On Ripple’s RLUSD strategic committee, Rajan will leverage his expertise to foster trust, maintain regulatory adherence, and steer the stablecoin’s development. His goal is to make RLUSD a dependable and secure digital payment alternative.
Furthermore, the panel also boasts other notable individuals, including Sheila Bair (previously Chair of FDIC), David Puth (ex-CEO of CENTRE Consortium), and Chris Larsen, one of Ripple’s co-founders. RLUSD adheres to stringent regulatory guidelines, demonstrating Ripple’s dedication to integrity and transparency in digital financial transactions.
