In a recent interview with Fox Business, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse emphasized that the company is entering a phase of strong growth, even as the crypto market remains highly volatile. He said that Ripple has carried out two major acquisitions over the past year, including GTreasury—an acquisition that helped significantly expand the company’s operating footprint.
The most notable point is the figure of $13 trillion in payment volume that Ripple processed over the past year, yet none of that volume has gone through stablecoin or crypto. For Garlinghouse, this is precisely the opportunity: if most corporate cash flow is still running on traditional infrastructure, then shifting it to on-chain would leave a very large growth runway.
Garlinghouse described stablecoin as the “ChatGPT moment” for finance, stressing that today’s payment infrastructure is still too slow and too rigid compared with market needs. When sending money between traditional systems often takes a few days, stablecoin can enable payments in near real time, regardless of the time of day.
Ripple is also riding the wave of growing interest from enterprises, banks, and fintech in tokenization, digital asset custody, and stablecoin-based payments. For the company, the current focus is not only on XRP, but on building a full digital financial infrastructure that can serve real-world enterprise needs.
Garlinghouse’s message is fairly clear: most of the enormous volume in the financial world still sits outside blockchain—and that’s exactly where Ripple wants to move in.
