Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse Reveals What As SEC Drops Lawsuit
In a FOX Business interview, Brad Garlinghouse discussed what next for his firm following the SEC’s decision to drop the Ripple lawsuit. He noted that about 95% of the company’s customers are overseas, as the lawsuit hindered their US operations.
However, he suggested that will likely change moving forward as they grow their operations in the country. Garlinghouse remarked that they have already been witnessing domestic interest since US President Donald Trump took office. The Ripple CEO revealed they have signed more deals since then than in the six months preceding Trump’s inauguration.
The company is expected to grow further in the US after the SEC agreed to drop the Ripple lawsuit. Brad Garlinghouse predicts that his firm’s innovative technology will play out over the next ten to twenty years in terms of how it integrates and rewires the US financial structure in terms of payments, real estate, and securities transactions.
The Ripple CEO again took time to highlight how Trump’s crypto-related executive orders, especially the creation of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Digital Asset Stockpile, have created a more friendly environment for crypto firms in the US.
He noted that financial institutions are now more open to crypto technology. As CoinGape reported, the OCC has cleared Federal Banks to engage in crypto activities.
On Stablecoin Legislation & Its Impact
Brad Garlinghouse commended the efforts of legislators like Senator Cynthia Lummis and Rep French Hill to provide regulatory clarity. These lawmakers are championing the market structure and stablecoin bills to create a regulatory framework that will guide crypto firms. Senator Lummis also recently reintroduced the Bitcoin Act to codify Trump’s vision of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
The Ripple CEO welcomed the idea of regulatory clarity, stating that it would reassure customers that they can engage with them in good faith. He remarked that these customers would feel more comfortable using their technologies without fear of regulators attacking them. Garlinghouse added that this would also enable more job creation, innovation, and capital formation in the US.
