This comes ahead of the XRP Community Day, when the firm is expected to make major announcements that could boost the token\u2019s utility.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><b>Ripple CEO Assures XRP Remains A Priority\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>In an <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/bgarlinghouse\/status\/2020905549924073728?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">X post<\/a>, Garlinghouse stated that the XRP family has and always will be at the top of mind for Ripple. This came in response to a statement by community member Mr. Man, who criticized those who said that Ripple wasn\u2019t true to their word with <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/xrps-billion-dollar-milestone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">XRP as the bridge asset<\/a>. He added that the vision has not changed and that the direction remains aligned.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The CEO stated in response that he is glad to see the message is finally clearer, as they consider XRP a priority. This aligns with <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/bgarlinghouse\/status\/2009787848988471792?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Garlinghouse\u2019s statement<\/a> at the start of the year, in which he declared that XRP has been and will continue to be the heartbeat of their vision to enable the Internet of Value.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, it is worth noting that Mr. Man was alluding to <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ripple-institutional-defi-roadmap-xrp-ledger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Ripple\u2019s institutional DeFi roadmap<\/a> on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), in which the firm positioned the token as a settlement and bridge asset. Contrary to speculations that the RLUSD stablecoin may replace XRP, the company noted that the latter serves as a bridge asset between the stablecoin and other tokens.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Notably, Ripple\u2019s former CTO, <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ripple-cto-on-real-value-of-xrpl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">David Schwartz, also once mentioned<\/a> that the RLUSD cannot replace XRP as the bridge asset because XRP was more accepted worldwide and \u201cjurisdictionless.\u201d Meanwhile, Ripple also highlighted XRP\u2019s role in base-layer mechanics, including reserve requirements, transaction fees, and bridging across FX and lending flows.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><b>XRP Community Day Set To Hold Today And Tomorrow<\/b>\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Ripple\/status\/2021367053974659450?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Ripple has announced<\/a> that the long-awaited XRP Community Day is holding today and tomorrow.
