He remarked that this longevity reflects a fundamental viability in the ecosystem, regardless of personal alignment with the token. Ripple’s Transformation into a Conglomerate He further observed the transformation of Ripple, the company associated with XRP. In his view, Ripple has evolved into what he called a “holding company, a conglomerate of assets within the digital asset ecosystem.” Tapiero attributed value to this model, describing it as a sophisticated organizational strategy that extends Ripple’s relevance beyond just the XRP token. His comments suggest that Ripple’s structure now includes a range of projects and interests across the blockchain sector, enhancing its strategic importance.

While he did not provide specific projections regarding the ETFs’ performance, his remarks pointed to the broader sentiment that XRP’s presence in regulated investment vehicles is becoming more normalized. The 10T Holdings CEO also addressed the geopolitical and regulatory backdrop influencing XRP’s standing. He referenced Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s ongoing involvement in U.S. policymaking and his engagement with President Donald Trump . Tapiero stated, “You have to take your hat off to Brad Garlinghouse for having got involved with Trump and still very involved,” noting that Garlinghouse has helped advocate for the digital asset sector during the transition from the previous SEC administration. A Shift Toward Institutional Legitimacy He credited Garlinghouse with putting in what he called “a lot of hard work for the space itself,” particularly in pushing back against regulatory opposition from the former SEC leadership. The reference underscores how XRP and Ripple have continued to operate under scrutiny and are now achieving significant regulatory milestones, such as approving a futures-based ETF. Tapiero’s remarks demonstrate a measured acknowledgment of XRP’s resilience and growing presence within the institutional landscape. While he did not express full support, he recognized the asset’s continued relevance, Ripple’s corporate evolution, and Brad Garlinghouse’s political engagement. The SEC’s approval of the ProShares XRP Futures ETFs further reinforces the shifting perception of XRP’s significance in the U.S. digital asset sector.
