Ripple CEO Rumored Role In Trump Administration Could Send XRP to $10

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse Says The Journey Is Just Beginning. Here's why

Edoardo Farina, CEO of Alpha Lions Academy, recently ignited discussions on X by sharing a rumor that Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse is a strong contender for the role of Crypto Czar in Donald Trump’s administration.

Farina believes this appointment can send XRP to $10, and his post has drawn significant attention within the cryptocurrency community, with many speculating about the impact such an appointment could have on the broader market.

Will Garlinghouse Become Crypto Czar?

Former Ripple executive Sean McBride also speculated on this recently, describing Garlinghouse as a strong candidate for the role. Garlinghouse, known for his leadership in the cryptocurrency space, has been at the forefront of significant legal and regulatory developments.

Under his guidance, Ripple achieved multiple victories against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), providing clarity for XRP and giving the broader market a blueprint to follow as the SEC refused to provide proper regulation.

The Shifting Regulatory Climate

This rumor of a potential appointment comes at a pivotal moment for the cryptocurrency industry. SEC Chair Gary Gensler recently announced that he would step down on January 20, 2025, paving the way for a potential leadership shift in the SEC under a new administration.

A Trump-led government is expected to prioritize crypto-friendly policies, including appointing a pro-crypto SEC Chair who can foster innovation while ensuring proper regulatory oversight.

Garlinghouse’s track record makes him a compelling candidate for such a role. As Ripple CEO, he navigated complex regulatory challenges and championed blockchain technology as a tool for global financial inclusion.

If Garlinghouse is appointed as Crypto Czar, he could help shape the U.S. cryptocurrency landscape. His influence could extend beyond policy discussions, potentially driving market optimism. Such a move would positively impact XRP, and many in the community expect big things if this appointment is confirmed.

What’s Next for XRP?

The community is excited as XRP recently hit $1.62, its highest level in three years. Garlinghouse’s potential appointment could cause the asset to skyrocket, potentially surpassing its all-time high after almost six years.

If Trump intends to appoint a crypto czar, there’s no one better for the job than the man who led Ripple to victory at the front lines of Gary Gensler’s and the SEC’s war on cryptocurrencies over the past few years.
