Everything Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse Has Said About XRP in 2026

$XRP is trading well below its January highs. The broader crypto market has been volatile, geopolitical uncertainty has kept risk appetite suppressed, and the regulatory clarity that everyone has been waiting for keeps getting pushed back by a few more weeks.

None of that has moved Brad Garlinghouse.

The Ripple CEO has given a string of major public appearances in 2026, and the message has been remarkably consistent across all of them. Not defensive. Not cautious. Quietly confident in a way that either shows conviction or extraordinary discipline, possibly both.

January: Davos and the Institutional Gap

Garlinghouse opened 2026 at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he framed $XRP not as a speculative asset but as neutral financial infrastructure for a world increasingly fragmented by sanctions and geopolitical tension.

He pointed to stablecoin transaction volume growing from $19 trillion in 2024 to $33 trillion in 2025, roughly 75% year-over-year growth, as evidence that the infrastructure story was already playing out in the numbers. At the same time, he made a point of noting that institutional interest from firms like BlackRock and Vanguard had not yet been fully reflected in prices.

“I don’t think institutional interest is priced into the crypto market as much as I would have expected right now,” he said.

$XRP was pulling back from around $2.40 toward $1.85 at the time. He did not flinch.

Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin launched in December 2024 on XRPL and Ethereum, and its total supply sits at $1.3 billion as of Dec. 19. Within XRPL specifically, RLUSD had a market cap of roughly $293 million, up by 41% in the past 30 days.

Ripple is now piloting RLUSD on L2s like Optimism and Base via Wormhole's NTT standard.

RLUSD is already a billion-plus-dollar asset with a material but still minority presence on XRPL, and XRPL's RWA footprint is now hundreds of millions rather than hobby-scale. Still, it remains tiny versus USDT and USDC on Ethereum and Solana

Backing out The downfall of the NFT industry  Advertisement The digital art community was jolted early this morning after the prominent Ethereum-based NFT platform Foundation halted its operation. This was due to the reversal of its recent acquisition by digital art gallery company Blackdove. Backing out Blackdove executive Marc Billings announced the difficult decision to "pause our ongoing support of the Foundation platform" and return management to Foundation's original founder, Kayvon Tehranian, for an orderly transition.

XRP Price Prediction: $1.50 Next?

The technical picture is constructive, especially with its RSI sitting at neutral territory still, which usually precedes expansion moves. Price is consolidating just beneath the $1.50 resistance, with key support anchored at $1.29.

If the Senate Banking Committee advances the CLARITY Act markup in late April, XRP could clear $1.5 with volume, and the $1.60 near-term target cited by most analysts comes into play. Standard Chartered maintains a $200 longer-range call. Saved

However, in the case of a failure to hold $1.29 support, it will reopen the sub-$1.00 risk flagged by our analyst in a brief flush before a potential double-digit recovery. Painful but not unprecedented for XRP.

Citi Says Mixing Bitcoin With Gold Can Boost Your Portfolio Performance
Citi analysts say holding both gold and bitcoin can improve portfolio performance compared with traditional bond-and-equity mixes. In a new report cited by CNBC, analyst Alex Saunders said a 5% allocation to gold enhances portfolio efficiency, while splitting that exposure between gold and bitcoin produces stronger results.

The analysis found the mixed allocation improves returns in bond bull markets and provides resilience during bear-steepening cycles tied to fiscal concerns and rising inflation risk.

Citi noted that bitcoin often performs better than gold when bond markets weaken, highlighting recent gains amid geopolitical and equity market stress. Over the past two months, bitcoin has risen 9%, while spot gold has declined 4%. Saunders said the tactical appeal of a combined allocation lies in balancing the relative popularity of gold with bitcoin’s growth characteristics.

Bitcoin price analysis

Bitcoin’s move above $75,000 reflects more than a technical breakout; it signals a shift in how markets are valuing the asset amid rising geopolitical tension. After rebounding from a February low near $60,000, bitcoin has climbed roughly 23%, holding firm even as traditional markets face pressure.

Traders now view the $75,000–$76,000 range as a critical resistance zone, with a breakout potentially opening a path toward $80,000, while failure could send price back toward the low-$70,000s or below.

Underneath the surface, derivatives data suggests a market positioned for a potential squeeze. Funding rates on perpetual futures have remained negative for over six weeks, indicating persistent bearish positioning despite rising prices. Historically, this combination of negative funding, rising open interest, and price stability has preceded upward breakouts, as short sellers are forced to cover.

At the same time, the narrative surrounding bitcoin is evolving. No long
