Ripple CEO Reaffirms XRP-Centric Vision
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has once again underscored the company’s mission to accelerate $XRP adoption and expand its ecosystem, sparking renewed optimism among supporters. Speaking at Davos 2026, Garlinghouse highlighted how major financial institutions are increasingly integrating the $XRP Ledger into global payment systems, a trend reinforced by regulatory progress and growing interest CBDC initiatives.
At XRP Community Day 2026, he described XRP as the “north star” and “heartbeat” of Ripple’s long-term strategy, emphasizing the strength of its global developer and holder community. In a separate statement, Garlinghouse even suggested #Ripple could evolve into a trillion-dollar crypto company, with XRP at its core, while pointing to new ecosystem innovations such as zero-knowledge privacy features.
Market commentators have called these updates a “bombshell” for XRP’s outlook, framing them as pivotal for the token’s long-term positioning in the digital asset landscape.
