Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has reiterated that XRP remains central to the company's ecosystem, emphasizing its importance as Ripple's "North Star." In a recent post on X, Garlinghouse responded to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian's comments on corporate goal alignment, stating, "100% All roads lead to Ripple’s North Star, $XRP." This statement follows a significant decline in XRP's price, which has dropped over 63% from its all-time high. Garlinghouse's reaffirmation comes ahead of the XRP Las Vegas event, where industry leaders and blockchain enthusiasts are set to convene. The CEO's comments underscore Ripple's commitment to ensuring that all its products ultimately benefit the native token, XRP, despite recent market volatility.
