A recent discussion between Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Hedera co-founder Leemon Baird has caught the XRP community’s attention.
In a video shared by crypto influencer Amelie, the two industry leaders highlighted the importance of collaboration within the blockchain space, raising the prospect of a potential partnership between Ripple and Hedera. This conversation underscores the broader trend of increasing unity across the crypto sector.
Key Highlights from the Discussion
During the exchange, Garlinghouse expressed optimism about a more cooperative approach between Ripple and Hedera communities. He stated, “We have a point of contact, and we can reach out to the Hedera community and collaborate. And I think we haven’t yet come together around that, and I think there’s an opportunity to do that.”
Leemon Baird echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the necessity of interconnectivity within the industry. “What we need to be doing is having the blockchains working together… When we identify scams, we should inform each other, inform exchanges, and be working together as an industry… It’s holding all of us back,” Baird remarked.
Both leaders acknowledged that addressing shared challenges—such as scams and educating the public could foster growth for their respective platforms and the blockchain industry as a whole.

Tribalism in the Crypto Space
The discussion also delved into the issue of tribalism within the cryptocurrency sector. Garlinghouse and Baird noted that divisions among blockchain communities have historically hindered progress.
However, both expressed optimism that tribalism is waning. Garlinghouse reflected, “If you charted the impact of tribalism over time… I think it’s waning in our industry.”
As they suggest, this decline presents an opportunity for greater unity and shared progress. Garlinghouse also referenced Ripple’s recent legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), emphasizing that the fight was not solely for Ripple but for the broader crypto industry.
The Potential Ripple-Hedera Partnership
Although specific details about a potential partnership were not disclosed, the dialogue between Garlinghouse and Baird points to the possibility of future collaboration.
Both leaders seem aligned on the importance of creating solutions that benefit the global blockchain ecosystem. From combating scams to advancing decentralized recovery mechanisms, the potential areas of cooperation are extensive.
As the cryptocurrency sector evolves, partnerships like the one discussed between Ripple and Hedera may prove instrumental in achieving the industry’s full potential.
