This includes a $500 million funding round at a $40 billion valuation, as well as major partnerships and acquisitions. Ripple also announced new products, including a prime brokerage service designed to improve crypto liquidity and institutional access.
Garlinghouse said Ripple plans to double down on crypto infrastructure and advocate for clear global regulation. He expressed strong support for the Crypto Market Structure Bill and the Clarity Act, both of which are expected to shape how digital assets are monitored.
The executive further revealed that Ripple intends to focus on consolidating growth rather than new acquisitions in 2026. This comes after a year of four acquisitions, including Palisade Wallet and Custody.
Garlinghouse confirmed that the company has no plans to launch a crypto exchange, but is instead prioritizing custody, cash management, and prime brokerage solutions.
The XRP ecosystem is gaining ground
The Ripple CEO reiterated that XRP is at the heart of its ecosystem, focusing on improving trust, utility, and liquidity. Following legal clarity around the token, funds are regularly reinvested in XRP.
Garlinghouse predicted that institutional demand could increase once the Crypto Market Structure Bill passes and a spot XRP ETF launches, potentially as early as next week. He compared this expected wave of interest to Ethereum’s rally after its ETF approval.
Meanwhile, Garlinghouse also joined a community discussion on X about whether it’s better to say “on XRP” or “on XRPL.” He agreed that “on XRP” sounds better than “on XRPL,” which is technically correct, reflecting a deeper connection to the community’s culture.
I agree, on XRP it sounds better

Analysts expect XRP to rise further, with some predicting a new yearly high before the end of December.
