Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse Advocates for a Multi-Chain Future

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse spoke at the Consensus 2026 conference, outlining his views on the future of digital currencies.

According to Garlinghouse, the concept of a single dominant chain is outdated. He believes that different blockchains have unique strengths and weaknesses, and that they can coexist in a complex network.

Garlinghouse emphasized the importance of Bitcoin's success for the growth of XRP and other digital currencies. He noted that when Bitcoin performs well, it builds trust and attracts investment into the sector, benefiting other projects in the process.
