Did you know a former Morgan Stanley veteran, Zoe Cruz, is on the board of directors, further cementing the startup's ties — and, by extension, those of the cryptocurrency industry as a whole — to the world of banking and mainstream finance.
At Morgan Stanley, Cruz was co-president for institutional securities and wealth management from 2005 to 2007. Before that, she served as global head of fixed income, commodities and foreign exchange.
When Cruz joined the bank in 1982, she was the third founding member of the foreign exchange group, according to a news release.
Cruz's appointment makes sense in light of Ripple's ambitions. The San Francisco-based startup, which created the digital currency XRP, has a multipronged business that involves selling ostensibly Swift-killing blockchain software to banks while also working to persuade them to use XRP to grease the skids of cross-border payments.
