Ripple CEO Addresses the One Rumor XRP Holders Kept Asking About

At Swell 2026 in New York, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse rejected speculation that Ripple had abandoned XRP in favor of its RLUSD stablecoin, saying the company would never give up on XRP. He described RLUSD as complementary to XRP rather than a rival and a contributor to XRP’s momentum. Ripple says it is on track to end 2026 with $900 million in annualized product revenue, while RLUSD’s market capitalization has reached $2.6 billion, up more than 88% this year. The company also secured final approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for Ripple National Trust Bank.
