Brad Garlinghouse lands in Van Nuys the week of XRP Las Vegas

Brad Garlinghouse flew from Santa Barbara to Van Nuys on June 8, a 47-minute hop over the coastal ranges in his Bombardier Global 6000, N100RP. The short leg follows a string of local flights around Santa Barbara and Los Angeles over the preceding days.

The trip arrives the same week Garlinghouse is set to take the stage at XRP Las Vegas, the annual Ripple conference on the Strip. Per coverage from U.Today and CoinGape, Garlinghouse used the event to reaffirm that XRP remains Ripple’s “North Star,” while also discussing the Clarity Act’s shrinking legislative window, the OCC trust charter, and a Fed master account ambition. The flight to Van Nuys, a common gateway for Southern California departures to Las Vegas, positions him to head east for the conference.

Garlinghouse regularly shuttles between San Francisco, Los Angeles, and South Florida for business. The Santa Barbara stop this weekend suggests a brief detour before the week’s obligations. With XRP still trading well below its all-time high and the CEO urging a five-year view, per Times Tabloid, the public messaging remains consistent: build the rails, ignore the noise.
