$XRP Is the "North Star" and It's Not Changing
Brad Garlinghouse just made Ripple's position crystal clear. At XRP Community Day 2026, he called XRP the company's "north star" and
"heartbeat" doubling down on its role even as
$BTC continues to dominate broader market
attention.
According to Garlinghouse, XRP remains central to Ripple's institutional strategy. The focus is straightforward: expand liquidity, increase real-world use cases, strengthen enterprise adoption of the $XRP Ledger, and build deeper on-chain financial infrastructure.
Looking toward 2030, Ripple wants to evolve into a global financial platform company. But the foundation doesn't shift utility, liquidity, and adoption of XRP stay at the core of that vision.
