Garlinghouse recently posted an image on his official X account that featured the phrase: “Laugh now, but one day XRP will power the world!” He explained that this painting hangs on the wall of his home and expressed his reasons for sharing it, citing the current market conditions.
“I’ve been holding onto this one for a while, for some reason. Probably my all-time favorite from the XRP community. It’s hanging on the wall in my house… but with all this market momentum, I wanted to share it!”
Like many others in the cryptocurrency community, Garlinghouse showcased his optimism towards recent industry developments. He expressed excitement over the approval of spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and the bipartisan support for crypto legislation.
“There’s been a big boost in crypto this week – ETH ETFs approved and bipartisan support for crypto legislation… Looks like hell has frozen over!”
