Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has clarified the company's approach to XRP, emphasizing incremental progress rather than a single transformative event. Speaking at the XRP Australia Sydney 2026 conference, Garlinghouse explained that Ripple has been "flipping the switch" on XRP through hundreds or thousands of smaller steps, rather than relying on one master trigger. This strategy aims to gradually build adoption and impact over time. Garlinghouse addressed the "flip the switch" phrase, which originated from his 2019 comments about banks moving XRP from pilot programs to production. He noted that the community had expanded this idea into a belief that a single event could reprice XRP. However, he stressed that Ripple's progress is the result of years of steady work, with each small step contributing to a larger impact. The conference, attended by over 400 participants, also featured discussions on tokenization, stablecoins, and regulation.
