🔐HOLDERS OF $XRP 📢 BRAD GARLINGHOUSE
RIPPLE CEO DEBUNKED ONE OF THE BIGGEST MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT THE XRP LEDGER❗
🔷 Does Ripple Control the XRPL Just Because It Has Billions of $XRP ?
Brad Garlinghouse Responds⤵
At Ripple Swell 2026, Brad debunked the myth: owning XRP does not give Ripple control over the network.
📌 The numbers: The XRPL has more than 150 validators. Of the 35 on the recommended list, only 1 is from Ripple (~2.9%).
📌 No proof of stake: Having more tokens does not give you more voting power. Independent validators reach consensus, and operators choose which ones to trust.
📌 Governance: Updates require at least 80% support from validators for two consecutive weeks. In 2026, Permissioned Domains (Feb 4), Permissioned DEX (Feb 18), and Batch Transactions (Oct 9) were activated.
🏦 Institutions building on the XRPL: Aviva Investors (tokenized share classes of the Sterling Liquidity Fund and the USD fund), Franklin Templeton + DBS + Ripple (sgBENJI and RLUSD), and Standard Chartered (institutional custody of RLUSD).
💡 Utility of XRP:
✅ Fees starting at 0.00001 XRP, permanently destroyed
✅ Base reserve of 1 $XRP per account, plus reserves for objects
✅ Intermediate liquidity between currencies, when it is the best route
Ripple doesn't need to control the ledger for the ecosystem to grow.
Next time you hear this argument, ask the person to explain how XRPL consensus works.
I know the recent price is frustrating, but the long-term outlook remains strong. Do you agree? 👇
