Ripple CEO Teases “Something Special” for XRP Holders in Possible IPO As Bulls Target $12 Mega Run
Ripple chief Brad Garlinghouse has fueled fresh speculation within the XRP community after hinting that XRP holders could receive “something special” if his company eventually moves forward with plans to become a publicly traded company.

The comments were made during a recent appearance on the Crypto in America podcast hosted by journalist Eleanor Terrett, where Garlinghouse discussed the possibility of a future IPO for Ripple. He, however, emphasized that the company is not currently prioritizing a public listing.

During the interview, Terrett highlighted criticism that Ripple has grown into a major private-company success story, while holders of XRP remain financially distinct from the company’s equity structure and do not directly participate in its corporate ownership.

Garlinghouse noted that Ripple was most recently valued at around $50 billion in a share buyback, a figure that has further intensified debate over whether the company’s growth should more directly benefit holders of XRP.

When asked whether Ripple had considered an XRP token buyback—an idea recently floated by some industry figures as a way to allow holders to share in the company’s success—Garlinghouse stopped short of endorsing any near-term plan. Instead, he stressed that Ripple’s role in the ecosystem is indirect but foundational, pointing to its focus on developing products, infrastructure, and institutional partnerships designed to enhance the utility, liquidity, and overall trust surrounding XRP.
“I hope XRP holders feel like they are benefiting from Ripple’s existence by virtue of what we’re doing to try to catalyze things within the XRP community,” Garlinghouse posited.

$110K Spring Airdrop Rain—18 Days Straight!

Bitcoin fell below $80,000 on May 7, erasing weekly gains after hitting a high of $82,833.

Volatility triggered $270 million in liquidations and pulled the crypto market cap to $2.74 trillion.

Concerns mount that President Trump may pivot to a hot war as Tehran rejects the latest U.S. proposal.

On May 7, bitcoin reversed course, dipping below $80,000 to effectively erase gains made since Monday. As shown by the daily chart, the top cryptocurrency—which reached a multi-month high of $82,833 some 24 hours earlier—had been under pressure from bears since Wednesday afternoon.

After losing $1,000 during a slow descent from midday to midnight, bitcoin found temporary support at $80,700. While a pre-dawn rally lifted the price to $81,600, the momentum proved unsustainable. The subsequent sell-off was more aggressive, forcing the asset down to a $79,500 intraday low. As of 1 p.m. EDT, bitcoin has reclaimed some ground, currently hovering just below the $80,000 mark.
Bitcoin’s nearly 2% drop dragged its market capitalization below the $1.6 trillion mark, a marked decline from the approximately $1.66 trillion intraday peak reached on Wednesday. The drop helped pull the crypto economy’s market cap to $2.74 trillion, down from just over $2.8 trillion.

The cryptocurrency market’s retreat, which mirrored Wall Street’s, coincided with reports that Iran had rejected the Trump administration’s proposal to end the war. According to a post on X by Walter Bloomberg, a senior Iranian official, Mohsen Rezaei, said Tehran rejected the proposal—which calls on Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz—because it does not include reparations for war damage
Iran’s rejection of the U.S. proposal neutralized the optimism sparked by earlier Axios reports that a deal was imminent. Concerns are mounting that a prolonged diplomatic stalemate will embolden Washington

Centrifuge up 17% after Coinbase partnership: Will CFG break past $0.30?

Centrifuge launched 24/7 trading of the S&P 500 on Base Chain for non-U.S. users. The announcement was made at Consensus 2026 by Base creator Jesse Pollak.

This news came after Coinbase invested in the Layer 1 blockchain that specializes in bringing traditional finance on-chain. Centrifuge became Coinbase’s official tokenization infrastructure partner.

The tokenized S&P 500 in Base will trade under the ticker deSPXA. The product was made available in partnership with S&P Dow Jones Indices, managed by Janus Henderson.

The tokenized asset market cap is around $30 billion. However, the CEO of Centrifuge, Bhaji Illuminati, believed it would take more than sales to push the TVL of CFG from $1.5 billion to $10 billion, but it was gradually becoming a possibility.

Grok Predicts XRP Price if Big Banks Replace SWIFT With XRP for 24/7 Global Payments Al chatbot Grok has explained how valuable XRP could become if major banks start using the XRP Ledger instead of SWIFT for cross-border payments.

The conversation began when XRP community member Diana asked Grok how much transaction volume the XRP Ledger could handle if large banks adopted XRP for 24/7 real-time settlements.

Grok said that if adoption grows worldwide, the XRP Ledger could eventually process between $30 trillion and $150 trillion in transactions every year.

Key Points

Grok says XRP could process up to $150T yearly if major banks adopt it for real-time global payments.

The Al estimates XRP could trade between $5 and $243 depending on adoption and transaction volume.

BNY Mellon has increased its holdings in Strategy (MSTR) to 1 million shares worth about $187.2 million, deepening its use of the Bitcoin treasury company as a proxy for BTC exposure without holding coins directly.

The purchase brings BNY Mellon's total Strategy holdings to 1 million shares, with an aggregate value of roughly $187.2 million at current prices. The bank, which oversees around $2.1 trillion in assets under management, joins a growing list of large institutions building sizable positions in Strategy as a proxy for Bitcoin exposure.
