However, he assured the public that Ripple does not foresee “disruption to day-to-day business” and that the company holds the majority of dollars through its wider network of banking partners.
The tweet was in response to concerns raised after reports of SVB’s exposure to hedge fund Archegos Capital, which suffered heavy losses in March. Despite Ripple’s banking relationship with SVB, Garlinghouse’s statement suggests that the company’s institutional exposure is not significant and that Ripple’s financial position remains secure.
Garlinghouse’s tweet also highlighted the broader problems facing the financial system, noting that “transmissions are still 24/7/365” and that “in a highly decentralized system, there are bumps in the flow of funds” that can lead to rumors and crashes. Many Twitter users responded positively to Garlinghouse’s statement, expressing their confidence in Ripple’s risk management practices.
Ripple’s CTO David Schwartz said promise The company will soon issue a statement on its exposure to SVB. However, it was unclear whether Garlinghouse’s tweet was the statement Schwartz was referring to.
