Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse Hails “Crypto Voter” Era, SEC Lawsuit Conclusion
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse joins the crypto community to celebrate crypto candidates’ victory and Donald Trump’s win in the 2024 presidential election. This has set the stage for crypto regulatory clarity, stablecoin regulation, Operation Choke Point 2.0 end, and the conclusion of US SEC attacks against crypto including the Ripple vs SEC lawsuit.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse Celebrates ‘Crypto Voter’ Win
Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple Labs, took to X on US election day November 5 to celebrate the victory of crypto. The underestimated crypto voter block emerged victorious in the US elections as crypto-supporting candidates in both Republican and Democratic parties mostly won.
“To everyone who doubted it: the crypto voter is here to stay, loud and clear!” said Ripple CEO. He congratulated crypto candidates Bernie Moreno, Ritchie Torres, Kirsten Gillibrand and Andy Barr on the win.
Crypto community including Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong noted that Bernie Moreno’s win kicked out crypto enemy number 2 in the Senate, Sherrod Brown, in Ohio.
@berniemoreno understands that crypto is an important part of America’s future. Bernie and the crypto owners who helped him secure this win understand how everyone can benefit from crypto and are willing to fight for it. Welcome to America’s most pro-crypto Congress ever…

The emergence of crypto as a significant political issue influenced voting behavior in this US election. Ripple CEO noted that the victory of Bernie Moreno, Tim Sheehy, Ritchie Torres, Kirsten Gillibrand, and other pro-crypto candidates signaled a shift in political priorities.
However, the defeat of pro-XRP candidate John Deaton against Senator Elizabeth Warren was the only sad news for the crypto community.
How Will US Election Result Impact Ripple Vs SEC Lawsuit?
The re-election of Donald Trump and pro-crypto candidates will help fuel crypto and Bitcoin adoption. During the election campaigns, Donald Trump promised to fire SEC Chair Gary Gensler. The securities regulator without Gensler may soon end the Ripple vs SEC lawsuit and bring crypto regulatory clarity.
Coinbase CLO Paul Grewal hinted that the crypto win will help end legal attacks against crypto. He said, “I’m going to guess that at least a couple of Supreme Court Justices now feel free to make retirement plans.”
The bipartisan appeal of crypto policies as the crypto voter isn’t confined to one political party now. Republican Party is near to taking the majority in the US Congress, as per New York Times data.
Recently, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse shared good news that institutional interest in XRP products continues to rise while the US SEC loses credibility and reputation. This indicates that the XRP ETF launch is imminent.
In the latest development in the XRP lawsuit, the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals granted the US SEC an order to file its opening brief by January 15, 2025.
Meanwhile, XRP price climbed 3% in the last 24 hours, with the price now trading at $0.528. The 24-hour low and high are $0.506 and $0.541, respectively. Top crypto experts predicted XRP price to hit $1.10, before a massive breakout to over $6 and beyond.
