Ripple CEO Delivers Defiant Message About the Future of Crypto
📅 October 15 | Washington, D.C.
In a statement that made headlines in the financial sector, Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple Labs, asserted that the United States will not return to the “hostile, anti-technology environment” that characterized Gary Gensler's regulatory era at the helm of the SEC. During an interview at the DC Blockchain Summit, Garlinghouse firmly stated that political change in Washington and the growing importance of digital innovation are redefining the relationship between the government and the crypto industry.
📖 In a defiant tone, Garlinghouse recalled the years of legal battles with the SEC, which sought to classify the XRP token as an unregistered security, a process that Ripple ultimately won in part in court. “That phase of persecution is over. The future is built through dialogue, not lawsuits,” he declared. His words come at a key moment, when the new US political and economic leadership appears to be leaning toward a more pragmatic pro-crypto policy, driven by the need to maintain global competitiveness against Asia and Europe.
According to the CEO, Ripple is expanding its institutional operations and exploring new partnerships with banks and financial institutions, especially in the field of cross-border payments. In his vision, blockchain infrastructure is no longer a promise, but an inevitable financial pillar. Garlinghouse also celebrated the fact that influential figures in Congress are pushing bills “that finally understand how the technology works, rather than treating it as a threat.”
The political backdrop is no small matter: the current administration seeks to attract technological innovation and private capital, while financial giants—from BlackRock to JPMorgan—are integrating blockchain-based solutions.
