In an article released by the Financial Times, it is discussed how Ripple’s vision for XRP has shifted from pure cross-border payments to many different forms of potential utility for the XRP ledger, one of which is micropayments via Coil. The article states that a German writer had only received around $15 in micropayments but was given $2,250 in XRP by Coil to continue writing. Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple, responded stating that: “Amazon started out as a bookseller and just sold books. We started with the payments. In two years you will find out that Ripple is in payments like Amazon was in the books.”
Ripple Resetting?
The article released is titled “With $16bn in cryptocurrency, Ripple attempts a reset” and argues that Ripple, which is richer than most startups due to their XRP holdings, is struggling to find a use case and hence are trying out different methods or “reseting their strategy”. One of the arguments used was that Santander, one of the initial supporters of Ripple & XRP has backed out of the venture. Here was the CEOs response.
Brad Garlinghouse’s Response
A1/ My fav skeptics are active today! (@FT @nathanielpopper) Ripple has absolutely no plans to ‘reset’ our strategy. Using XRP to solve a real-world, $10T problem, like cross-border payments, is working (1/4) https://t.co/Gkf70dq7G6

He then stated that he’ll let the data speak for itself and mentioned that ODL has accounted for over $2 billion in transactions using XRP and grew by 11x year-on-year and in less than 3 years they had processed over $7B+ via RippleNet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
