Ripple CEO says XRP and RLUSD serve complementary roles

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated on Nov. 3 that XRP and the company’s RLUSD stablecoin are complementary rather than competitive, responding directly to a detailed post from a member of the XRP Ledger community. The comment came in reply to a post by Vet, a notable figure in the XRP Ledger ecosystem, who outlined the structural and functional differences between the two assets. Garlinghouse’s response was brief: “Well said, Vet. Complementary, not competitive.” The debate centers on the distinct roles each asset plays within the Ripple ecosystem.
