The cryptocurrency sector is following the US-Iran war on one hand, and the Consensus conference on the other.
Many figures from the crypto sector attended this conference, including Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse.
Garlinghouse touched upon many topics in his speech, including $XRP and Bitcoin (BTC).
The renowned CEO stated that Ripple is expanding $XRP’s role in corporate finance and that the company is focused on increasing the token’s adoption, liquidity, and real-world use across global financial platforms.
Garlinghouse added that Ripple’s moves and recent acquisitions are aimed at strengthening $XRP’s position.
“$XRP continues to be Ripple’s North Star and guiding light. Every acquisition and new product aims to make $XRP more useful for people, increasing its adoption, usability, and liquidity.”
“I’m Not $XRP Maxi!”
Ripple’s CEO also emphasized the importance of a multi-chain ecosystem in the cryptocurrency sector, arguing that he was never an “$XRP maxi-ist.”
Garlinghouse stated that he believes excessive maximalism and tribalism are harming the sector, and emphasized that he wants to see the development of various blockchain networks, including Bitcoin, and that the future will not be dominated by a single chain.
“I was never a maxi $XRP investor. It won’t be a single-chain world. It will be a multi-chain world. I want Bitcoin to be successful too.”
I believe that extremism in the cryptocurrency world is bad for everyone and for the entire industry.”
Finally, Garlinghouse also touched upon the strength of the $XRP community, commending the group often known as the $XRP Army. The CEO praised $XRP supporters who remained active despite years of legal and market uncertainty due to the SEC case, and stated that ecosystem interaction is currently at its strongest level.
Garlinghouse argued that the SEC’s decision to target Ripple was a strategic mistake, noting that Ripple has managed to survive despite all the pressure.
