Brad Garlinghouse Rises Double XRP with Tattoo and 1000% Commitment

In a recent post on X, Garlinghouse revealed a tattoo of the XRP logo on his upper arm, claiming it is a symbol of his "1,000%" commitment to the project's success.

Garlinghouse's decision came after a post by a cryptocurrency influencer known as Digital Asset Investor, who emphasized the importance of someone over 50 years old — and a Harvard MBA graduate — getting a tattoo. When a person with an MBA from Harvard gets a tattoo after the age of 50, they have thought it through. influential people have written. Garlinghouse responded with confidence "1,000%", reinforcing his position as a dedicated leader of the XRP movement. This tattoo was first unveiled after Ripple's partial victory in 2023, when a judge ruled that XRP's public exchange transactions do not qualify as securities. However, the legal battle continues over the organization's sales transactions. Ripple ultimately dropped its cross-appeal regarding these sales transactions, choosing not to contest the court's order. This move brings the legal story closer to its final chapter. Garlinghouse made it clear that his current focus is on building rather than litigation. We will close this chapter once and for all, and focus on what is most important, building a value-driven Internet, he declared. That focus has yielded results. The network activity of XRP surged, with daily active addresses increasing sevenfold in June. Trading volume is also rising, a bullish signal for the utility and adoption of the token. These fundamental factors have driven optimism to new heights, with the odds of a U.S.-based XRP (ETF) now at 95%. Canada has approved three XRP ETFs, adding further momentum to the evolving story. Technically, Ripple recently launched XRPL version 2.5.0, a major upgrade for the XRP Ledger, helping it compete better with smart contract giants like Ethereum and Solana. This update enhances scalability and developer tools, signaling Ripple's intention to make XRPL a central pillar in the Web3 infrastructure. Despite the legal hurdles, Garlinghouse's tattoo and public statements highlight his comprehensive approach. For XRP investors, his unwavering support may bring renewed confidence, especially as Ripple shifts from courtroom battles to expanding its network and growing its ecosystem.
