Ripple Chief Executive Officer Brad Garlinghouse has marked the recent astonishing price growth by reposting an ultra-bullish message about XRP.

"XRP trading is on fire"

Garlinghouse has retweeted an X post published by Austin Reid, the global head of revenue and business at crypto brokerage firm FalconX, according to his X bio.

“XRP trading is on fire,” he tweeted that his company has recorded “10x growth in volume between the first and second halves of Q4.” Reid believes that this is not just a reaction to the massive retail investor activity but rather “institutions are driving the momentum.”

Issues with service quality and reliability can be eliminated, according to the article, thanks to a fully transparent payment tracker created by Ripple, which is available even on weekends and holidays, as well as payments on Ripple, unlike in the case of banks. These problems damage banks’ reputations and customer satisfaction.

Besides, Ripple Payments connects customers to a global network for payments that boasts new state-of-the-art features for seamless and cheap payments, thus solving the problem of limited access to services. The article also points out that Ripple Payments follows all the necessary compliance and security rules, thus providing a solution to the issue related to risk and compliance management.
