Speaking at Consensus, Brad Garlinghouse said Ripple is expanding XRP’s role in institutional finance, with the company focused on increasing the token’s adoption, liquidity, and real-world utility across global financial platforms.
Brad said the company’s recent acquisitions and infrastructure investments are aimed at strengthening XRP’s position across trading, payments, and financial platforms used by large institutions.
“Making XRP good collateral across lots of different institutional platforms is a big deal.”
He explained that Ripple’s broader strategy is focused on making XRP more useful within financial markets rather than depending mainly on speculative trading activity. According to him, every major acquisition and product expansion is tied to increasing confidence and usage around the token.
“All the acquisitions we made, all the buildings we’re doing are in service of how do we accelerate the adoption, the usefulness of XRP, the liquidity of XRP, and the trust of XRP.”
The discussion also included the strength of the XRP community, often known as the XRP Army. The Brad credited supporters for remaining active throughout years of legal and market uncertainty and said engagement around the ecosystem is currently at its strongest level.
“The XRP army has been an unbelievable supportive group.”
Despite backing XRP, he rejected the idea that one blockchain network will dominate the crypto industry, saying different chains will continue serving different purposes.
“It’s not going to be a one-chain world. It’s going to be a multi-chain world.”
The remarks come as Ripple increases its focus on institutional products and blockchain-based financial infrastructure while seeking broader adoption for XRP across global markets.
