Ripple’s Commitment to XRP Is Not Up for Debate
Garlinghouse addressed questions about Ripple’s loyalty to XRP head-on. He noted that Ripple remains the largest holder of XRP on the planet and has every reason to want the asset to succeed. “We are the most interested party in seeing XRP be successful,” he said. “We will continue to be the most interested party in seeing XRP be successful.”
Happy Daddy called the clip amazing, noting it directly addresses fears about Ripple’s priorities. The concern has circulated in the community for some time, particularly since Ripple launched its stablecoin, RLUSD.
RLUSD Does Not Replace XRP
The launch of RLUSD fueled speculation that Ripple was pivoting away from XRP. Garlinghouse rejected that conclusion entirely. He described Ripple’s strategy as multi-step, where not every decision will have an obvious direct connection to XRP, but all decisions ultimately serve the same goal. Happy Daddy reinforced the point. RLUSD functions as a tool within a larger system, and not a replacement for XRP, as both assets complement each other.
XRP Already Has Legal Clarity
One of the strongest moments from the event came when Garlinghouse addressed the status of XRP under current law. He confirmed that XRP’s legal clarity does not depend on the passage of the CLARITY Act.
“A federal judge said in her opinion, XRP in and of itself is not a security. Boom. We have clarity.” He acknowledged the CLARITY Act would benefit the broader industry, but was unequivocal that XRP stands on solid legal ground regardless of legislative outcomes.

Garlinghouse did offer a prediction on the Clarity Act. He said the bill needs to clear the committee by the end of the third week of May. If it does, he believes it will pass the Senate, citing existing bipartisan support at that level. If it does not clear the committee by that point, he expressed concern about its prospects.
A Bright Future for XRP
Happy Daddy closed the post on a confident note, stating the conversation boosted his conviction. Garlinghouse’s remarks at XRP Las Vegas delivered direct answers to questions the community has raised for months, and have token holders hopeful for the future.
