Criticism and XRP Sales Plans
In an interview with Bloomberg, Brad Garlinghouse responded to criticism over Ripple's XRP sales, indicating that the company might reduce sales in the future. Currently, Ripple owns 42% of the total XRP supply, despite the decrease to 99.9 billion units.

Garlinghouse stated that the company's goal is to push RLUSD into the top 5 by the end of the year, anticipating significant growth in this market sector. RLUSD was recently listed on LMAX Digital.
