Ripple CEO Inscribes XRP Victory Ruling Date “07-13-2023” on His Arm.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse gets XRP victory tattoo, tease no big announcement at the New York Celebratory party.
As the Ripple and XRP communities converge to celebrate the XRP victory ruling in New York City on Friday night, the Chief Executive Officer of Ripple, Brad Garlinghouse, took to the X platform to clear the air.
A few hours before the commencement of the celebratory party, Garlinghouse briefed the eager XRP community on a bit of what to expect at the event. Specifically, he clarified that there would be no “big” announcements at the party — as the community had widely speculated.
Garlinghouse stated that the event was explicitly to commemorate XRP’s conquest against the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
“And as for any “announcement” that people are wondering about, tonight’s event is just a celebration,” the Ripple CEO remarked.

Ripple CEO Inscribes XRP To Mark Victory
Meanwhile, Garlinghouse unveiled another surprise package for the XRP community. He shared one of his latest efforts aimed at equally marking the significance of the XRP victory.
In particular, Garlinghouse tattooed his right hand with a logo of XRP. Interestingly, it was not a mere inscription of XRP to his arm. A closer look at the image he posted showed that the XRP tattoo also contained an inscription of the date XRP got the non-security ruling from the United States court. It read “07 – 13 – 2023.”
Expectedly, Garlinghouse’s action sparked massive reactions from the XRP community and beyond. Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer, David Schwartz, expressed delight at the sight. Schwartz stated he would have gotten a similar tattoo for himself save for certain circumstances.
An X user, known for his pro-Bitcoin stance, remarked sarcastically, “I like this one. XRP is the best coin at this time.”
Meanwhile, some XRP community members believe the tattoo conveys hidden messages beyond the obvious. An X account with username “UtilityFTW” argued the inscription is proof against the growing notion that Ripple was abandoning XRP for other digital assets in their payment products.
