Ripple (XRP) CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Avalanche CEO Emin Gün Sirer faced off at X.
It all started with a post by AVAX CEO Emin Gün Sirer. After Sirer joked about banks preferring Ripple, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse responded.
Sirer, in a post from his X account, claimed that banks preferred Ripple. However, he immediately stated that this was an April Fool’s joke. He added that the banks’ actual preference was Avalanche.
Garlinghouse didn’t ignore the claim. While the market dismissed the post as a joke, Garlinghouse quickly responded.
Garlinghouse responded by saying he was pleased that Ripple held a prominent place in Sirer’s mind.
In a brief response, Garlinghouse expressed excitement at knowing Ripple had found a free spot on Sirer’s mind, implying that Avalanche frequently considered Ripple.

At this point, Ripple is collaborating with companies like Santander, SBI Holdings, BNY Mellon, PNC Bank, and CIBC on cross-border payments, while Avalanche and Ava Labs have significant partnerships with Wall Street giants such as JPMorgan and Citi.
