From Ripple CEO BRAD GARLINGHOUSE Interview with FOX Business News Liz Claman and Charles Gasparino - XRP · · XRP INSIGHT
“Look, I think to the extent we can find a constructive path for the SEC, we of course want to find that. There's no scenario though that we're going to settle unless there's absolute certainty about what is XRP on a go-forward basis, and it's very clear in how Ripple is using these technologies, how many scores of other people in the XRP community are using these technologies. They're not securities, they don't represent an ownership in Ripple the company.”
On , Brad Garlinghouse, CEO at Ripple, spoke about settlement conditions during Ripple CEO BRAD GARLINGHOUSE Interview with FOX Business News Liz Claman and Charles Gasparino - XRP on XRP INSIGHT.
Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, has been active at industry events including Consensus 2026 and XRP Las Vegas, where he discussed the company's acquisition strategy, stablecoin market projections, and regulatory developments. He stated that he believes the stablecoin market cap will reach $3 trillion by 2031. Garlinghouse described Ripple's approach to acquisitions as "contrarian," saying the company focuses on bringing non-digital-asset-native companies onto the blockchain rather than acquiring other crypto firms. He also commented on the Clarity Act, saying he thought the chances of passage were around 80% and that if it does not get out of committee by the end of the third week of May, "we're in real trouble." Garlinghouse addressed several other topics during his appearances. He described layoffs attributed to artificial intelligence as a "travesty," arguing that AI should be viewed as an "unlock" for growth rather than a tool to reduce headcount. He called for an XRP boycott of the Sphere in Las Vegas, saying the venue declined to display XRP while agreeing to show Bitcoin and Ethereum. On XRP's legal status, he noted that a federal judge ruled XRP "in and of itself is not a security." He also said Ripple has not prioritized going public and that the company is pursuing a Federal Reserve master account, which he described as a potential "big unlock."
