Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse used XRP Community Day to position XRP as the central focus of Ripple’s business strategy. Speaking in X spaces, he said XRP and RLUSD remain at the “heartbeat” of Ripple’s work across payments, lending, and custody on the XRPL. His remarks also touched on the CLARITY Act timeline.

Garlinghouse Praises XRP and RLUSD XRP Community Day

Live on X Spaces, Garlinghouse told the XRP community that XRP is the “North Star” for Ripple and drives its broader direction. He said Ripple Payments, Ripple Prime, and Ripple Treasury aim to expand XRP utility, trust, and liquidity.

He explained that Ripple Payments is tied to XRPL activity, including decentralized exchange use cases with permissioned domains. Meanwhile, he said Ripple Prime supports XRP use for collateral and lending, while Ripple Treasury enables payments involving XRP and RLUSD within treasury management systems.

Garlinghouse added that Ripple sees itself as a financial infrastructure platform, not a crypto-first firm. He also said Ripple wants to be “the most regulated and compliant” company in the sector while continuing to push institutional adoption.

He also referenced Ripple’s partnership with Aviva Investors, which he described as one of the world’s largest asset management firms. Garlinghouse said Aviva Investors is tokenizing on the XRP Ledger, and he tied the move to Ripple’s focus on institutional adoption.

Ripple’s $50B Valuation Adds Context to Trillion-Dollar View

Garlinghouse’s XRP Community Day comments came as a separate report placed Ripple among the world’s top IPO candidates. According to CBInsights data cited in the report, Ripple Labs is valued at over $50 billion, ranking ninth globally among potential IPO firms. 

The report also noted Ripple’s valuation reflects enterprise value, not XRP’s market capitalization. It compared Ripple’s position to companies such as SpaceX, OpenAI, Stripe, and ByteDance, while stating that Ripple trails SHEIN.

As speculation about a public listing continues, Ripple President Monica Long has addressed IPO discussions. However, the report said Ripple remains solvent and has no near-term listing plan, with the company focusing more on acquisitions. Garlinghouse said he expects a trillion-dollar crypto company to emerge and added there could be more than one.

Garlinghouse Predicts CLARITY Act Progress as Talks Continue

Ripple CEO also addressed the CLARITY Act during his XRP Community Day remarks, saying he expects the bill to regain momentum soon. He said there is a “75%” chance that by the end of April, it will be “very close to getting signed.”

His remarks followed comments from Ripple Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty, who said discussions at the White House were productive. Alderoty wrote on X that a compromise appears likely, while bipartisan support remains behind crypto market structure legislation.

White House advisor Patrick Witt also commented after the meeting, thanking participants from both the crypto and banking industries. Witt added, “We are going to get this done.”

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
