Does #Ripple Surrender to Bitcoin? Garlinghouse's Statement.

In an unexpected turn, Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, surprised the community by stating at $XRP Las Vegas 2025 that "Bitcoin is not the enemy".

This statement, along with the donation of the "Satoshi Skull" to the Bitcoin community, has generated mixed reactions. While some see it as a strategic move to unify the sector in the face of regulatory pressure, others fear that Ripple is losing its identity and yielding to Bitcoin maximalists. This change in stance aims to foster collaboration, but risks the perception of XRP as a superior alternative.
