That’s Visa Size" Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse on Moving $16 Trillion, On-Chain Growth & Why Speculation Isn't Sustainable
📌 Video Breakdown & Key Takeaways
💡 The Big Picture
Visa-Level Scale: Ripple touched $16 Trillion in total transactions across its ecosystem last year.
The On-Chain Opportunity: Only 0.1% of that volume currently settles on-chain—meaning every 0.1% shift represents $160 Billion in new volume.
Institutional Demand: CFOs, treasurers, and enterprise CEOs are actively asking how to unlock trapped capital using stablecoins and blockchain rails.
"Last year, we touched $16 trillion of transactions... that's Visa size." Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple CEO
"You have to have utility. If it's just speculation or meme coins, that's not sustainable."
"Each 0.1% is $160 billion... our goal is to move that point-one percent to a much larger number."
"Now we have CFOs and treasurers asking us... 'How can you help us unlock some of that trapped capital?'"
