A popular crypto pundit has suggested that XRP and ONDO embody the vision of Wall Street 2.0, a new financial era powered by blockchain technology.
Chad Steingraber made the bold assertion yesterday while reacting to the latest promotional video for Ondo Finance’s upcoming summit, themed ‘Wall Street 2.0 Is Here.’
The Ondo Summit, scheduled to be held on February 3, 2026, in New York, plans to feature some of the biggest names in the traditional and blockchain space.
Some of the entities from the traditional financial sector include State Street, Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, Citi, and Franklin Templeton. Crypto firms like Chainlink, Ripple, and Layer Zero will also be attending the Ondo inaugural conference.
The summit will also feature policymakers and investors from different parts of the world. At the moment, Ondo Finance has yet to release the agenda and speakers for the summit. Since its announcement, the summit has drawn widespread attention from the crypto community, particularly for its striking theme, “Wall Street 2.0 Is Here.”
Reacting, Steingraber shared a screenshot highlighting the lineup of major financial institutions set to attend the conference. He added that the collaboration between traditional finance and blockchain projects is enough to convince skeptics.
XRP and ONDO Are Pioneering Wall Street 2.0
In this context, Steingraber highlighted XRP and ONDO as key infrastructure for the next-generation financial system, describing both tokens as the foundation of “Wall Street 2.0.”
It is worth noting that XRP, through Ripple’s payment network, is seen as a key enabler of institutional-grade cross-border transactions. Several financial institutions, including SBI Group and Tranglo, have adopted the token to facilitate cross-border settlements.
Meanwhile, Ondo Finance has built a strong reputation for bridging traditional finance and blockchain, primarily through the tokenization of RWA, such as money market instruments and U.S. Treasuries.
Earlier this year, the team behind Ondo Finance debuted its tokenized Short-Term U.S. Government Treasuries (OUSG) on XRP’s underlying blockchain, XRPL.
With XRP’s strength in cross-border payments and ONDO’s expertise in real-world asset tokenization, analysts like Steingraber believe the two projects are at the forefront of driving the Wall Street 2.0 vision.
