In a recent tweet, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse reiterates the company’s commitment to the XRP community. Garlinghouse was reacting to an X user who pointed out that Ripple has stayed true to its word in utilizing XRP as a bridge asset.
This follows the recently updated institutional DeFi blueprint for the XRP Ledger, with a compliance-focused infrastructure positioning XRP as a settlement and bridge asset.
The Ripple CEO expressed joy that the message is finally even more clear, which is that the XRP community has always being top priority for the company.

“Glad to see the message is (finally, even more) clear! XRP family has and always will be top of mind for Ripple,” Garlinghouse stated.
Ripple is developing features to enhance XRP Ledger’s institutional utility, which strengthens the underlying demand and use cases for XRP.
Permissioned DEX, Permissioned Domains and Credentials with XRP as a bridge asset are expected to enhance XRP utility in auto-bridging, fee burn, reserve requirements, settlement and liquidity provision.
Native on-ledger credit markets through the Lending Protocol will allow XRP to both be borrowed and lent. XRP is also the default bridge asset in FX flows and settlement.
Features such as the MPT, Permissioned Domains, Lending Protocol and Confidential Transfers are expected to scale use cases for tokenized assets, FX and on-chain credit. Meanwhile, Credentials, Token Escrow and Batch Transactions will bring about use cases in compliance enhancing XRP’s utility in governance and reserve box.
