Brad Garlinghouse | Ripple CEO On Why XRP Is Taking Over

On today’s Talking Tokens episode, we're sharing a fireside chat with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse. Jacquelyn recorded this conversation with Brad on stage at Korea Blockchain Week about 3 months ago. But, we thought it would still be timely since Ripple’s XRP token is the talk of the town right now, as it is up over 80% in the past seven days and 440% in the last month. Although the crypto market moves fast, a lot of this is still relevant. We discuss XRP, the SEC, crypto market trends and regional differences, Ripple's business operations, institutional adoption, the team’s plan for its stablecoin issuance and more. If you’re a Ripple fan, want to know more about Ripple or are just an avid listener, this one is for you. Hope you all enjoy. ======================= Follow Brad: https://x.com/bgarlinghouse Follow Ripple: https://x.com/Ripple Follow Jacquelyn: https://twitter.com/jacqmelinek Follow Talking Tokens: https://twitter.com/_TalkingTokens Follow Token Relations: https://twitter.com/Token_Relations ======================= Subscribe to the podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0LOgWxIQ0NnNUD5eXsSuoZ?si=9a9fda1d29224d57&nd=1&dlsi Subscribe to the podcast on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-tokens/id1743669141 Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TalkingTokens ======================= Please note that this podcast is for informational purposes only and any views shared by anyone on the show are opinions, not financial advice.
