【Coin World】Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse sent out a strong signal at the start of the new year: 2026 will have more to watch. Following impressive performance in 2025, this cross-border payment giant is preparing to move to the next level.
Several recent major moves deserve attention. First, Ripple obtained a license from the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which means official endorsement for compliant operations in the UK market. Second, the company has successively acquired two key assets, Ripple Prime and GTreasury, directly strengthening its capabilities in cross-border payments and fund management.
Garlinghouse particularly emphasized that XRP has always been the underlying strategic support. As the global demand for regulated crypto infrastructure becomes increasingly urgent, Ripple is accelerating the development of practical use cases for XRP and RLUSD—this is not hype, but rather building truly usable financial infrastructure. In other words, their goal is clear: to transform these assets from trading instruments into genuine payment conduits.
