Ripple CEO Denies Being an XRP Maximalist

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has pushed back on the idea that he's an XRP maximalist, stating that he's 'bullish on a bunch of cryptos' for various reasons.

In a recent interview, Garlinghouse emphasized that Ripple's goal is to solve payment problems, such as moving money into the Philippines, and that XRP could be the best bridge asset for this job. He also noted that a stablecoin could work for the same purpose, depending on what actually gets the job done for customers.

Garlinghouse highlighted Ripple's institutional business as proof that their approach is working, mentioning that they've been minting a meaningful share of stablecoin-related volume and have grown into one of the larger players in that market. He described this result as something the team is genuinely happy with.
