Ripple Labs and CEO come under fire amid rumors of a Trump meeting

November 16, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Ripple's native currency, XRP, surged by more than 17% on November 15, based on expectations of a friendlier regulatory climate in the US.

Ripple Labs and CEO Brad Garlinghouse are facing criticism from industry executives after rumors that the CEO recently met with President-elect Trump began circulating on social media.

In response to the rumors, former Messari CEO and founder Ryan Selkis remarked: "Brad Garlinghouse is shilling XRP (XRP) and CBDC implementations." Selkis' comments were reposted by the vice president of research at Riot Platforms, Pierre Rochard.

Rochard agreed with Selkis and wrote "We can’t let Ripple co-opt the United States policymaking process with their anti-bitcoin agenda," and hoped that the President-elect would appoint more Bitcoiners to his administration.

Ripple should have engaged with US regulators a lot earlier, says the firm’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse, adding it’s now “trying to make up for lost time.”

Ripple Labs CEO Brad Garlinghouse conceded that his company should have engaged with United States regulators earlier, and now it and the crypto industry are playing catch-up after being on the receiving end of legal enforcement actions.

“I’ve made far more trips to DC in the past few years than I did in the years before that,” Garlinghouse said in an Oct. 23 appearance at DC Fintech Week.
