Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse once again emphasized the advantages of $XRP over $BTC in the payment sector.
In December 2024, he stated that Bitcoin, despite its success as an experiment, will lose to XRP due to slow transactions and high fees. Transactions with BTC can take up to an hour, while XRP are processed in seconds at minimal costs—on average, fractions of a cent. Garlinghouse emphasized that XRP, due to its speed and cost-effectiveness, is ideally suited for international payments and financial institutions handling large sums. RippleNet, the company’s platform, already connects over 200 participants, promoting the globalization of XRP.
In 2025, after the arrival of the new U.S. administration, Ripple signed more deals in six weeks than in the previous six months, indicating growing interest in XRP. Garlinghouse also predicts the emergence of an XRP-based ETF, which could further strengthen the cryptocurrency's position. While Bitcoin remains a valuable asset, XRP demonstrates advantages in speed and efficiency, becoming a leader in payment systems.
