Ripple CEO: XRP community activity reaches all-time high, industry needs to abandon single-chain mindset

Techub News, according to Bitcoinist, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated in an interview at Consensus 2026 that XRP community activity has reached an all-time high, while warning that chain maximalism hinders industry adoption, emphasizing that the future will be a multi-chain world rather than a single-chain dominated one. He pointed out that Ripple's recent acquisitions and product expansions aim to deepen XRP's real-world utility rather than market speculation. The cryptocurrency industry is entering an institutional phase, with tokenization, collateral use cases, and traditional finance partnerships becoming core themes, while community strength has helped the network navigate regulatory conflicts and market downturns.
