Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple Labs, has expressed his support for the idea of a U.S. digital asset reserve that includes a diverse selection of tokens, rather than focusing solely on bitcoin (BTC) or XRP.

In a recent post on X, Garlinghouse stated, “I hold XRP, BTC, ETH, and several other tokens. We live in a multichain world, and I’ve always pushed for a level playing field rather than one token being elevated above the rest. If the government creates a digital asset reserve, it should reflect the diversity of the industry and not be limited to just one token, whether that’s BTC, XRP, or another.”

This statement comes in light of U.S. President Donald Trump’s remarks last week about evaluating the creation of a national digital asset reserve, a proposal that gained traction during his election campaign.

While bitcoin, being the largest digital asset by market cap, is widely considered a likely inclusion in any potential reserve, traders on decentralized betting platform Polymarket currently see only a 17% chance that Trump will approve such a project within the first 100 days of his presidency.

Garlinghouse has also criticized the “maximalist” mindset that pushes for one token to dominate over others. “Maximalism is an obstacle to the advancement of crypto, and I’m pleased to see it losing traction with more people,” he remarked.

Ripple uses XRP to facilitate cross-border payments and remittances. As of Monday, XRP was priced at $3.09, although it had dipped nearly 10%, falling to $2.65, according to CoinDesk data.
