He made this comment after Ripple held discussions with Luxembourg’s Finance Minister Gilles Roth about obtaining a license to operate in the country. The meeting signals Ripple’s strategic intent to expand within one of Europe’s most influential financial hubs.
Luxembourg’s reputation for regulatory openness and its established financial infrastructure make it an important jurisdiction for digital asset firms seeking legitimacy and access to the European Economic Area (EEA).
The EU led in creating comprehensive rules for digital assets – and nations like Luxembourg are leaning in. Thanks to Luxembourg Finance Minister @RothGilles and his team for a great meeting last week. @Ripple is excited about our future in Luxembourg and the EU. https://t.co/8vHbPBH7R0

Ripple’s Meeting with Luxembourg’s Ministry of Finance
Luxembourg Finance Minister Gilles Roth confirmed the meeting in a post on X, writing: “Great meeting with @Ripple, as they advance toward securing their license to operate in Luxembourg. We discussed their ambitions in Europe and Luxembourg, and I reaffirmed our commitment to digital innovation.”
Ripple’s discussions centered on acquiring regulatory approval that would allow it to operate across the European Economic Area (EEA).
The move would align with the company’s ongoing effort to comply with Europe’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework. Ripple already maintains a corporate presence in Luxembourg and has previously indicated plans to register as an e-money institution there.

What It Could Mean for XRP
Ripple’s pursuit of a Luxembourg license could strengthen the role of XRP in regulated European financial systems. Operating under EU supervision would enable Ripple to provide payment and liquidity solutions to banks and institutions across the region with legal clarity.
Luxembourg’s financial ecosystem provides strong incentives for Ripple’s expansion. As one commenter pointed out, the country is home to Clearstream Banking Luxembourg, one of the world’s two largest International Central Securities Depositories, which connects more than 2,500 financial institutions in 110 markets. This infrastructure could provide a foundation for Ripple to integrate XRP into institutional payment and settlement networks.
The combination of regulatory certainty and proximity to established financial infrastructure enhances Ripple’s ability to scale its technology for real-world use. It also positions XRP as a potential bridge asset for cross-border transactions under compliant frameworks.
If Ripple secures this license, XRP could benefit from greater institutional acceptance, liquidity growth, and increased participation from European financial institutions.
