He says the company runs with focus and keeps talent within the same ecosystem, even when people change roles. Many former employees go to related projects, but they keep their ties to XRPL. He views this as a sign of strength, not movement away from the core network. In the interview, Gilbertie says the team does not need full agreement on every decision to stay aligned. He explains that people “stay in the ecosystem” and continue to support work tied to XRP. He sees this pattern as evidence of a strong culture that aids the network’s growth. He calls Ripple “a machine” and emphasizes the company’s ability to operate at a high level. He believes Ripple has the structure and capital to expand once it receives its banking license . He views that the company has built this groundwork for years and is now close to entering a new phase.

He says Ripple is “literally building a JP Morgan rival.” He links this directly to its readiness to operate as a fully regulated financial institution. He argues that Ripple has the resources and discipline to scale into that role once the regulatory step is complete. Why XRP Matters in His View Gilbertie states that Ripple has no reason to sell its XRP holdings . He believes the company will hold the asset as it gains value. He notes they may sell some over time, but he stresses that Ripple does not rely on these sales to fund operations. He sees XRP as a strategic asset rather than a financial lifeline. He places XRP at the center of Ripple’s long-term plan . He sees the asset as a key part of the company’s structure and not a side piece. This view leads him to his strongest remark: “Ripple is at the center of the universe.” He uses that line to show how he sees the company’s influence over the entire ecosystem that supports XRP.
