Ripple CEO Leaves a Message for the XRP Family

Fourteen years is a long time in any industry, and even longer in a young industry like cryptocurrencies. XRP has reached that milestone, and the people who built it are taking stock of how far it has come. Former Ripple CTO David Schwartz kicked off the celebration with a post reflecting on XRP’s origins. He wrote , “14 years ago, we got together with an idea to build a better way to move value.” He credited not just the founding team but the developers, validators, businesses, and community members who helped shape the project into what it is today. Ripple CEO Responds CEO Brad Garlinghouse joined the celebration, posting , “14 years later, still the honor of a lifetime to be part of the XRP family.” Garlinghouse has led Ripple for close to a decade . During that time, the company navigated one of the most consequential legal battles in crypto history, the SEC lawsuit. XRP emerged with regulatory clarity, a strengthened position in the U.S., and a growing list of global partnerships. Garlinghouse steered the company and the XRP army through them. 14 years later – still the honor of a lifetime to be part of the XRP family! https://t.co/CVsOSELVJW — Brad Garlinghouse (@bgarlinghouse) June 3, 2026 The Community Weighs In The XRP community responded with a wide range of reactions, capturing the full picture of what 14 years of holding looks like from the ground level.
