Garlinghouse said there is a "pent up" demand for crypto regulated crypto products. The Vanguard Group's plan to allow crypto exposure via its products, digital assets are now accessible to millions of people, he highlighted.

The CEO also underlined that longevity, stability and community are all underrated themes that matter to this new set of “offchain” crypto holders.

Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg said his fund identified the strong institutional demand for XRP.
