Ripple boss Garlinghouse sees the crypto industry poised for new heights in 2026
- Ripple boss Garlinghouse sees a successful crypto year in 2026. The assessment is based on legally secure regulation, growing institutional commitment and the stabilizing market.
- Garlinghouse believes that the structural prerequisites for a sustainable upswing are present. In interviews and at industry events, he emphasizes the long-term relevance of digital assets.
A central argument of the Ripple boss is the now guaranteed, legally secure regulation of the crypto sector. He points out that clear legal frameworks offer both companies and investors planning security.
This development can be seen in several key markets, which makes it easier for institutional players to enter. Garlinghouse argues that the industry has suffered from uncertainty for years and now, for the first time, there is an environment in which major financial players are willing to invest heavily.
He sees the increasing professionalization of the crypto industry as a prerequisite for cryptocurrencies to not only be attractive to speculators, but also to establish themselves as a permanent fixture in the global financial system.
Ripple-Position 2026
In parallel with regulatory developments, Garlinghouse is observing a significant increase in institutional activity. Banks, asset managers and technology companies are adapting their infrastructure to digital assets. He sees this as a strong indication of market maturity.
His company Ripple is strategically positioning itself to benefit from this development. This includes expanding its applications for international payments and integrating digital assets into existing financial systems.
Although individual cryptocurrencies – including Ripple’s bridge currency XRP – have recorded price declines over a long period of time, Garlinghouse does not see this as a contradiction to his optimistic forecast.
Instead, he points to market cycles that are typical and says that all trend factors are clearly pointing upwards. His assessment fits with those of several other industry players who consider 2026 to be the key year for mass adoption of digital assets.
