Ripple CEO Signals Unwavering Support for XRP With Bold 1000% Commitment

  • Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse‘s “1000% commitment“ and symbolic tattoo reiterate investor faith in XRP’s long-term value and direction after SEC resolution.
  • In spite of BitGo‘s stablecoin competition fears, market sentiment against XRP is still robust, fueled by community backing and fresh regulatory clarity.

As anticipated in a recent Crypto News Flash (CNF) coverage on Brad Garlinghouse hinting at major announcements for XRPL Apex 2025, the Ripple Labs CEO’s recent declaration of “1000% commitment” to XRP, coupled with his visible tattoo commemorating a key legal victory, has sparked significant buzz in the cryptocurrency community.

The community believes that the tattoo on Garlinghouse, which featuring the XRP logo and a celestial design, also includes the date of Ripple’s partial legal victory in July 2023, when a judge ruled that XRP is not a security in secondary markets. For example, in a tweet by Digital Asset Investor, stating:

I know many people who got tattoos when they were young and regret them because life changes. When someone with a Harvard MBA gets a tattoo after 50, they have thought it through and know it’s only going to change in a good way. LOCK IN! @bgarlinghouse has ZERO DOUBT!

Adding to the context, it is also notable that the timing of Garlinghouse’s renewed pledge comes just days after Ripple officially ended its lengthy battle with the U.S. SEC. With both sides dropping appeals in late June, the nearly five-year case has finally been closed, clearing one of the biggest clouds over XRP’s future.

On the other hand, not all perspectives are bullish. BitGo CEO Mike Belshe recently argued at the Digital Banking 2025 conference that Ripple’s new stablecoin, RLUSD, could somehow overshadow XRP. He suggested that in order to USD-backed stablecoins are more efficient for cross-border transactions due to XRP’s two-step conversion process.

Market Sentiment and the Impact on XRP Price

As previously mentioned, the XRP community has reacted enthusiastically to Garlinghouse’s statement, highlighted by influencers like Digital Asset Investor, who noted the significance of a Harvard-educated CEO over 50 getting a tattoo as a sign of unshakable belief.

Nevertheless, Garlinghouse’s “1000% commitment” and the resolution of the SEC lawsuit have had a measurable but modest impact on XRP’s price. It is also worth noting that his commitment as discussed in a previous CNF post, is further reflected in Brad Garlinghouse’s $50M investment in crypto education, which aims to improve public understanding and adoption of digital assets.

At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.18, with an increase 8.95% in the past week, of according to the data from CoinMarketCap. These price levels reflect growing investor confidence across major digital assets. See the XRP price chart below.
