The post featured a framed piece of fan art hanging on Garlinghouse’s wall, styled after Banksy’s famous “Laugh Now” stencil, but with a twist that captured XRP’s ambition: “Laugh now, but one day XRP will power the world.”

Garlinghouse admitted he had kept the artwork to himself for a long time, calling it “probably my all-time favorite from the XRP community.” Yet, as market momentum built in 2024, he chose to share it publicly. By doing so, he offered the community more than just art — he handed them a symbol of resilience and belief in XRP’s long-term role in the global financial system.

From Banksy’s Satire to XRP’s Rallying Cry

The slogan’s origin lies in Banksy’s “Laugh Now” series, which depicted monkeys wearing placards as a commentary on ridicule and eventual empowerment. In the XRP version, the message was repurposed to reflect the years of skepticism the token has endured. While not a genuine Banksy work, the adaptation quickly became part of XRP’s lore, symbolizing both defiance and conviction among its holders.

Crypto outlets covering the post noted that Garlinghouse wasn’t flaunting a multimillion-dollar artwork but rather celebrating a piece of community creativity. That distinction elevated the framed slogan from private décor to a public emblem — an artifact of the XRP movement itself.

A Community Symbol Reignited

The resurfaced post triggered a wave of enthusiasm among XRP supporters. For many, the framed slogan represents more than nostalgia; it reflects a belief that XRP’s future impact will far exceed current recognition

With the Ripple–SEC case now closed and regulatory uncertainty behind it, community optimism has only grown stronger. The phrase has since appeared across social media, on merchandise, and even in digital collectibles, amplifying its symbolic power

JackTheRippler’s decision to reshare the post months later ensured that the message continues to resonate widely. In doing so, he underscored how certain cultural touchstones — whether artwork, slogans, or memes — can anchor conviction during key moments in a market cycle.

Why It Still Resonates

For Garlinghouse, the framed art may have been personal, but for the XRP community, it became a rallying cry. It demonstrates how leadership in crypto extends beyond partnerships and technology; it also involves narrative. By aligning with the creativity of his supporters, Ripple’s CEO reinforced the emotional bond that has carried XRP through both challenges and triumphs.

Now, with XRP positioned for broader adoption and the regulatory cloud finally lifted, the phrase feels less like satire and more like a confident prediction. Ripple has already begun scaling its influence with payment corridors, enterprise integrations, and the rollout of RLUSD, its U.S. dollar–backed stablecoin, opening the door to even greater global utility.

Summarily, the words “Laugh now, but one day XRP will power the world” capture the spirit of a community that has weathered years of doubt but remains steadfast. By framing and sharing the artwork, Garlinghouse gave life to that conviction

By resurfacing it, JackTheRippler reminded the world that stories — just like technologies — can define the future. With the legal chapter closed and Ripple pushing ahead with real-world adoption, the framed slogan may no longer be a hope for “one day” but a glimpse into what is already beginning to unfold.
