Ripple Garlinghouse CEO Believes In Crypto Victory In XRP Election And Lawsuit

JAKARTA - The United States crypto industry is setting foot on the political stage. Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, loudly voiced his belief that this year's US election will be a crucial moment for crypto. "Crypto voters will be a significant power," he said.

Quoted from CoinGape, Garlinghouse, along with other important figures such as Kristin Smith from the Blockchain Association, have started a massive lobbying campaign. They managed to encourage the US House of Representatives to pass the pro-crypto bill, a move that is expected to sustain innovation in Uncle Sam's country.

With significant financial support, the crypto industry has demonstrated its influence in US politics. A total of 149 million US Dollars have been used to support crypto-supporting regulations, with Coinbase and Ripple as the main players. The FIT21 bill, recently passed, is a clear proof of the growing political influence.
