Ripple CEO: XRP holders' success is what matters most
Speaking at the XRP Las Vegas conference, Garlinghouse said it is strange that some people think Ripple is moving away from XRP. He explained that Ripple holds more XRP than anyone else, so the company benefits when XRP succeeds.
"Ripple is still the largest holder of XRP on the planet. We are the most interested party in seeing XRP be successful," Garlinghouse said.
XRP Is Still a Big Part of Ripple's Plans
Garlinghouse said Ripple is focused on making XRP more useful, trusted, and widely used in the financial world.
Ripple continues to build products and services for banks, financial companies, and global markets using XRP technology.
Some people worry that Ripple's newer stablecoin projects could replace XRP in the future. Garlinghouse rejected that idea. He said even if some Ripple projects do not seem directly connected to XRP, they still help the XRP ecosystem improve over time.
According to him, Ripple's long-term goal is always to expand XRP's use, liquidity, and trust.
Ripple Is Expanding Quickly
Garlinghouse said Ripple's treasury business is expanding fast. At a recent event in Las Vegas, Ripple promoted its services heavily - even near a competing company's conference. He joked that Ripple-branded buses were transporting attendees from the rival event.
He also said Ripple now has around 1,500 employees and that 2026 has been a very strong year for the company.
XRP Ledger Could Be Used for More Financial Services
Garlinghouse said the XRP Ledger Foundation and the broader XRP ecosystem could support many future blockchain projects beyond Ripple itself. Examples include:
- Tokenizing assets
- Settling bonds faster
- Improving outdated financial systems
He praised David Schwartz and the early XRP Ledger team for creating decentralized exchange and tokenization features many years ago.
Garlinghouse said no single blockchain will dominate everything. He believes different blockchains will serve different purposes, and Ripple wants to help wherever the XRP Ledger can add value.
Better Positioned to Benefit From Crypto Expansion
As Ripple strengthens XRP's global finance role, some are also eyeing early-stage tokens like Minotaurus (MTAUR) (https://minotaurus.io/), a blockchain gaming project focused on in-game utility.
It is currently in its early stage, around 0.00012755 USDT. The token has already moved up from earlier levels near 0.00004 USDT, showing a strong 3X price surge as interest builds ahead of wider launch events.
At today's price, even a small entry amount like 20 USDT can buy around 156,000 MTAUR tokens. If the token later reaches higher adoption levels, such as 0.012 USDT or 0.12 USDT, that early position could expand significantly in value.
Interest has also been building before the public listing. The project has attracted over 3.19 million USDT in total early deposits, showing rising attention from market participants. Its starting valuation is also relatively small at around 5.6 million USDT, which some see as room for future expansion.
Notably, Minotaurus is built around a gaming ecosystem where MTAUR is used for in-game upgrades, items, and customization. This creates direct utility tied to player activity, rather than relying only on market speculation.
The project has also been audited, with reports noting on-chain verification of presale wallet activity and no outbound transactions during the presale period, adding transparency to early-stage operations.
Conclusion
As XRP continues to receive long-term institutional and ecosystem support through Ripple's strategy, some are also looking at early utility tokens like Minotaurus (MTAUR) for the next biggest opportunity.
Those interested in exploring the project further, including presale information and upcoming updates, can visit the official Minotaurus website (https://minotaurus.io/) to learn how to buy MTAUR before its wider market launch.

IPO Finally Drives XRP Price Action
The XRP token has started reacting directly to fundamental news, becoming the only major crypto asset this past week to trigger Santiment's "social_price_correlation" indicator. For a coin that spent all of 2026 moving sideways despite legal victories and whale accumulation, this marks a significant shift.
The main driver behind this re-coupling is the rapid rise of Ripple Labs value on the non-public secondary market. As institutional holders actively price in a…

XRP Price Prediction: XRP Eyes $10 as AlphaPepe Targets the Returns Early XRP Bu …
XRP price prediction talk keeps circling $10, often pitched as a replay of the fortunes early XRP buyers made. The headline pairs that with a small BNB Chain token called AlphaPepe https://alphapepe.io/ chasing the same kind of early-stage return.

XRP (XRP) Price Prediction: PEPENODE Rises as XRP Stalls
XRP's recent price action shows clear signs of stagnation as market attention shifts toward high-beta presales. Bitcoin sits near $86,700 with a market cap around $1.73 trillion and BTC dominance close to 60%, drawing liquidity away from altcoins. The Altcoin Season Index remains low at roughly 24, and total altcoin capitalization has slid from about $1.79 trillion to $1.35 trillion.
Against that backdrop, traders are rotating capital into early-stage plays. PEPENODE…
XRP Price Prediction: Maxi Doge (MAXI) Captures XRP Holder Attention
Dogecoin's move into a bearish phase has reshaped risk flows across meme tokens. DOGE fell through the $0.15 zone toward $0.138, slipping under key moving averages as volume and trader enthusiasm waned. That pullback often creates a capital vacuum that reallocates into newer, higher-beta narratives.
One beneficiary is Maxi Doge (https://maxidogetoken.com/), whose MAXI presale has raised more than $4.1 million so far. Launched at an early-stage price near $0.000269 and capped…
