European XRP Adoption Surpasses Pilot Projects Amid Regulatory Paralysis

Ripple's Managing Director for the UK and Europe, Cassie Craddock, has emphasized the growth of XRP adoption in Europe. Speaking at an ecosystem conference in Las Vegas, Craddock highlighted the deployment of Ripple Custody at top-tier institutions like BBVA and DZ Bank as evidence of Europe's operational maturity.

Craddock noted that digital asset adoption has transitioned from pilot projects to 'real and scalable operational production' in Europe. In contrast, US legislative progress remains stagnant due to political friction blocking even basic crypto framework bills on Capitol Hill.
