In a tweet, Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple, made a prediction regarding the future influence of the United States in the cryptocurrency industry.
Additionally, he made an assumption regarding Gary Gensler, the chairperson of the Securities and Exchange Commission, in relation to the Ripple-SEC case and all recent cases initiated by the SEC.
The “crypto capital of the world” of the future?
The CEO of Ripple announced on Twitter that he had participated in the annual Crypto Conference, which is organized by the financial institution Cantor. Garlinghouse is of the opinion that the United States is on the brink of becoming the “crypto capital of the world” in the near future, following the significant shift in US political leadership that was announced on November 5 and is presently underway.
Additionally, Garlinghouse speculated whether Gary Gensler, the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), is currently relishing his final days in office, given that the newly elected president of the United States had pledged to terminate Gensler on the first day of his presidency.
In a tweet published one week ago, the CEO of Ripple expressed his optimism that Gensler would ultimately be “held accountable for ignoring the law.”
