Brad Garlinghouse: The Future of Crypto Won't Be Just One Network
Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple, stated that he has never been a die-hard supporter of XRP, emphasizing that the future of digital currencies will not rely on a single network but rather on a multi-chain ecosystem.
During the Consensus 2026 conference, Garlinghouse pointed out that the XRP community is one of the most supportive and active in the sector, but he distinguished between community support and network control, asserting that Ripple's large holdings of XRP do not equate to controlling its operational mechanism.
He also noted that institutional perspectives on digital currencies have shifted significantly in recent years, with increasing institutional interest and global adoption of blockchain technologies.
