Major transformations in finance rarely happen overnight. They unfold through years of steady execution, regulatory breakthroughs, technological refinement, and community conviction. That was the powerful message delivered by Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse at XRP Australia Sydney 2026, where he shared a deeply reflective vision of Ripple’s journey and the road ahead.
A video clip shared by BankXRP on X captured the moment that resonated across the XRP community. Speaking candidly to the audience, Garlinghouse challenged the idea that Ripple’s success hinges on a single dramatic turning point. Instead, he explained that progress comes from “a hundred switches” — even “a thousand switches” — flipping one by one over time.
Progress Happens Incrementally, Not Instantly
Garlinghouse made it clear that Ripple’s growth did not rely on a single regulatory decision, partnership announcement, or market rally. He described progress as the result of countless small advancements that compound into an exponential impact. Each regulatory clarification, each institutional onboarding, and each technical upgrade contributes to a larger transformation.

Ripple’s multi-year legal battle in the United States serves as a prime example. The case officially concluded in 2025, removing a significant cloud that had lingered over XRP for years. That resolution strengthened Ripple’s position and increased institutional confidence. Garlinghouse views that milestone as one of many switches that have flipped in Ripple’s favor.
Community Advocacy Drives Momentum
Garlinghouse also credited the XRP community for playing a direct role in Ripple’s advancement. He emphasized that advocacy, education, and efforts to debunk misinformation actively shape public perception and policy discussions. He told the Sydney audience that their passion represents one of those critical switches.
Ripple’s global outreach continues to expand. The company has strengthened relationships across Asia-Pacific and deepened partnerships with financial institutions seeking efficient cross-border settlement solutions. Australia has emerged as an active fintech hub, and Ripple’s presence in Sydney reflects its commitment to markets that embrace blockchain innovation.

Why 2026 Inspires Optimism
Garlinghouse expressed strong confidence in 2026 and beyond. He believes the digital asset industry has entered a maturation phase marked by clearer regulatory frameworks and stronger institutional participation. Ripple’s enterprise-focused strategy, including its liquidity and payments infrastructure, positions the company to benefit from that shift.
He closed with a compelling perspective: when people eventually feel that “the switch flipped,” they will realize that no single moment caused it. Years of persistent effort created it. Ripple did not wait for one dramatic breakthrough. The company built momentum through thousands of deliberate actions.
Garlinghouse’s message in Sydney underscored a simple truth. Sustainable transformation does not depend on one switch. It depends on many, and Ripple believes most of them are already turning on.
