As Ripple continues to emerge as one of the top names in the crypto industry, its President, Monica Long, has also made the list of the top leaders in the stablecoin market this year, curated by Stablecon.
Following the recent release of its annual leadership recognition list, Stablecon has named Monica Long among the honorees on Stablecon's Most Influential 2026 list.
Monica Long as a Top Woman in Stablecoins
Following Long's addition to Stablecon's Most Influential list this year, the Ripple president has earned recognition in two categories, which include Issuer & Protocol Leaders and Top Women in Stablecoins.
The list is curated every year to recognize leaders across multiple crypto sectors such as stablecoin issuance, blockchain infrastructure, investing, regulation, and ecosystem development.
Stablecon explained that honorees who make it to the list are evaluated based on five criteria, which include ecosystem influence, impact and reach, innovation, momentum, and peer recognition.
Notably, Monica Long was listed alongside executives from several major stablecoin and digital asset firms, including Paxos, Ondo Finance, Frax Finance, Custodia Bank, Anchorage Digital, and Monerium in the Issuer & Protocol Leaders category.
Also, Long made the list in the Top Women in Stablecoins category, being one of only two Ripple-associated executives celebrated as female leaders making major contributions to the stablecoin industry.
RLUSD in spotlight as Ripple pushes for wider adoption
It is not surprising that Monica Long has been recognized as a top leader in the stablecoin sector, as Ripple continues to advance its native stablecoin, RLUSD, while expanding its use cases.
Apparently, Monica Long's recognition as a Top Woman in Stablecoins comes following Ripple's consistent developments targeted at expanding its presence in the stablecoin market through RLUSD.
As Ripple's president, Long has played a key role in bringing RLUSD to the global market and driving its adoption for real-world payments and financial applications.
