CEO at Ripple

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

My thoughts exactly…. Perfect can't be the enemy of good. Let's get this done!

[Stuart Alderoty @s_alderoty]

The Clarity Act is a consumer protection bill: strong AML/KYC, real tools for law enforcement and state AGs. Leave it on the table and consumers are left twisting in the wind with the status quo with no clear standards for bad actors to exploit (again).
Perfect can't be the enemy of good. Let's get this done.

[James Seyffart @JSeyff]

Today @TRowePrice launched their first crypto ETF. Its an actively managed basket ETF. Launching during a bear market and i know for a fact this product was years in the making. Legacy asset managers continue to build in the crypto space despite the pullback in prices.

[RippleX @RippleXDev]

Traditional finance is not being replaced. It is being re-architected on blockchain rails.

In the latest episode of The Onchain Economy, RippleX Head of Engineering @ja_akinyele explains how the XRP Ledger is evolving for institutional use cases across tokenization, stablecoin payments, regulated trading, collateral, credit, and yield.

Together, XRP’s liquidity and utility, regulated assets like $RLUSD, and XRPL’s purpose-built features can support financial markets safely moving onchain.

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

Rare moment where my professional and personal worlds collide: XRP is now the first crypto on the jersey of a major college athletics program, at my alma mater.

XRP Family, meet the Jayhawks. Rock Chalk!

[Kansas Jayhawks @KUAthletics]

A shared commitment to innovation and excellence. 🤝

Kansas Athletics is proud to announce a new groundbreaking partnership with Ripple, bringing the XRP brand to Jayhawk uniforms.

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

Financial engineering doesn’t drive long-term value. Utility does

[Squawk on the Street @SquawkStreet]

"I think team Michael Saylor wasn't focused on the right stuff, and that has hurt the overall market."

@Ripple CEO @bgarlinghouse pulls no punches laying blame for the recent volatility in crypto:

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

I've been in crypto long enough to know when a moment is real. This is one of them.

10 years of Swell converging with real scale, institutional adoption, and Swell + Apex together for the first time this fall. We've been building toward this moment — see you in New York! @RippleSwell

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

14 years later – still the honor of a lifetime to be part of the XRP family!

[David 'JoelKatz' Schwartz @JoelKatz]

14 years ago, we got together with an idea to build a better way to move value. What happened next was something none of us could have built alone.

And by "us," I don't just mean the three of us.

I mean the developers, validators, businesses, community members, and everyone who helped shape XRP into what it is today.

Happy Birthday, XRP!

[Tom Farley @ThomasFarley]

This took guts by the @CFTC to reverse course. I know this will be a Rorschach Test viewed differently by Dems and Republicans. But the truth is that the lawfare that was waged on many crypto firms (not all!) was absolutely wrong, unfare, unAmerican and in some cases illegal.

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

The “Anti-Crypto Army” was defeated…
by the courts…
by the voters.
And by Trump.

It never made policy, legal or political sense.

Combatting financial innovation only helped protect those that wanted to keep an old, often broken, system in place.

[Eleanor Terrett @EleanorTerrett]

🚨NEW: President Trump says his administration is building a “future-proof” digital asset market structure that can’t be undone by “crypto haters.”

This marks the first time the president has publicly weighed in on crypto market structure since March.

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

Over a decade in the making, under a minute to explain. $XRP

[Ripple @Ripple]

What makes $XRP unique?
@bgarlinghouse answers in under a minute.⏱️

4 billion transactions.
3–5 second settlements.
Less than a penny each.
A community that never stopped believing.

A special edition of C̶r̶y̶p̶t̶o̶ ̶I̶n̶ ̶O̶n̶e̶ ̶M̶i̶n̶u̶t̶e̶ $XRP In One Minute starts now.

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

The Senate Banking Committee is putting in the work as it moves the Clarity Act forward… incredible leadership!

Millions of Americans are already in this market. Ripple stands behind this bill because they deserve the same rules and protections as every other asset class. If the largest economy in the world is going to lead on crypto - and it must - this is the moment. Let's get it done!

[Senator Tim Scott @SenatorTimScott]

Families, small businesses, investors, and innovators deserve clear rules of the road for digital assets.

The Senate’s version of the CLARITY Act delivers certainty, safeguards, and accountability, while protecting Main Street, strengthening national security, and keeping innovation in America.

[Patrick Witt @patrickjwitt]

I specifically requested the attendance of Mr. Nichols and other bank trade CEOs at the meetings we hosted back in February to resolve the stablecoin rewards/yield issue. They refused. I guess the White House was beneath them?

In their defense, I wouldn’t want to have to defend their position in public either.

[National Cryptocurrency Association @NatCryptoAssoc]

At its core, crypto has always been about people.

@JoelKatz, former CTO of @Ripple, stopped by #CryptoConfessions and said it simply. It's a community of people who share a love of technology, care about freedom, and believe financial services should be accessible to everyone.

A world where money flows freely and no one gets left behind. 🌍

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

Even when our backs were against the wall, we refused to fold.

Always great to be back for XRP Las Vegas, and even BETTER to see $XRP up in lights.

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

@EleanorTerrett @Ripple @KeithGrossman @ashgoblue @Matt_Hougan @GilbertieSal @DigPerspectives What a journey it's been!

Fortunate to have had your coverage and analysis (and friendship) along the way.

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

Leaders attract leaders…

Proud to be expanding in the UAE

[Reece Merrick @reece_merrick]

Big move for @Ripple! 🇦🇪

We’re thrilled to announce the opening of our new Middle East & Africa regional HQ in the @DIFC.

Since setting up in Dubai in 2020, the region has grown into one of our most significant global markets. This new space allows us to double our regional team and accelerate support for our clients and partners.

A huge thanks to the @DIFC for the partnership. We’re proud to be building the future of finance together

@okx Lock in.

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

100%
All roads lead back to Ripple’s North Star, $XRP.

[Alexis Ohanian 🗽 @alexisohanian]

Every. Day. CEO’s responsibility is to communicate and re-communicate the North Star. Again and again 🤪
