Ripple CEO Tells Investors 'Be Greedy' After Major XRP Crash

Published at 2026-02-06 05:45:16

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse publicly told investors to "be greedy" and keep a long‑term view after XRP suffered one of its biggest single‑day declines. The message, delivered as markets reeled from the drop, sought to ease panic and frame the selloff as part of broader crypto volatility rather than a company‑specific failure.

The remarks matter because a CEO's tone can influence retail and institutional sentiment during sharp moves. Garlinghouse's call for composure may signal Ripple's confidence in its fundamentals, but it doesn't change the underlying risks for traders facing uncertain macro and regulatory conditions. Investors should weigh potential buying opportunities against continued volatility and individual risk tolerance rather than rely solely on executive reassurances.
