Ripple CEO Lights the Fuse — Bitcoin to $180,000 “Once the U.S. Clears the Path”

Brad Garlinghouse didn’t make a prediction — he fired a warning shot.

The Ripple CEO said Bitcoin could explode to $180,000, but only after the U.S. delivers hard regulatory clarity.

Traders saw it as a signal: the next bull run isn’t waiting on markets — it’s waiting on Washington.

His statement rattled policymakers, thrilled traders, and reignited the belief that crypto’s next mega-cycle could be government-triggered.
