Brad Garlinghouse: XRP Is Still The Heartbeat of Ripple

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has once again described XRP as a central part of the company’s long-term vision, but some members of the XRP community remain unconvinced. Digital Asset Investor brought attention to Garlinghouse’s comments from Ripple’s Swell event, where the CEO connected XRP to Ripple’s original goal of building an “internet of value.” The remarks have drawn criticism from community members who questioned whether XRP still holds the same importance within Ripple’s broader business as the company expands its stablecoin and payments operations.
