Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse delivered a powerful and forward-looking message at the highly anticipated XRP Las Vegas 2025 event, sending ripples through the crypto and financial communities alike. The news, brought to light by prominent XRP advocate Edo Farina on X, captured the essence of Garlinghouse’s vision: “We are rewriting the entire banking system, and we underestimate how big that change is.” But this wasn’t just a bold proclamation, it was a call for unity, collaboration, and a future where blockchains work together rather than tear each other down. The Long Road to Transforming Global Finance Garlinghouse’s remarks, shared in a short video by Edo Farina, emphasized that reshaping the world’s financial infrastructure is not an overnight endeavor. According to the Ripple CEO, rewriting the centuries-old history of banking may take ten, twenty, or even more years, but it is inevitable if blockchain technology fulfills its potential.

This sentiment is particularly timely, given the persistent tension within the digital asset space, especially between the XRP and Bitcoin communities. Garlinghouse directly addressed the often-heated XRP vs. Bitcoin debate, sending a clear and conciliatory message: the crypto world’s strength lies in unity, not infighting. “ The Bitcoin community is not our enemy, they are not,” he said. “If they do well, we’re going to do well. We might do better. It’s just like, it’s not a zero-sum game. And I think the one thing I learned, I was in Silicon Valley for 24 years, the one thing you learn is that tech is not a zero-sum game. We’re going to grow the pie.” This philosophy marks a significant pivot in how Garlinghouse is encouraging Ripple and the XRP community to view the broader blockchain ecosystem.

But Garlinghouse’s statement in Las Vegas signals something much bigger: Ripple is not just improving the plumbing of cross-border payments; it’s positioning itself to help redesign the entire structure of global finance. This vision comes at a time when Ripple has made significant technological and strategic strides. Ripple has expanded into new markets through strategic acquisitions and entry into the stablecoin arena. These moves all point to a company thinking far beyond payments, envisioning a multi-asset, multi-layered financial future built on blockchain rails. Brad Garlinghouse’s bombshell at XRP Las Vegas is a strategic blueprint and a rallying cry for an industry on the cusp of massive change. As Ripple advances into the next chapter, the message is clear: success will come not from isolated victories but from collective progress. And if Garlinghouse’s vision holds, the next two decades could indeed witness a financial revolution the likes of which the world has never seen.
