TRUMP Could Help XRP Soar??
Ripple’s Meeting With Trump Could End War With SEC – Is XRP About to Soar?
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty attended a private dinner with President-elect Donald Trump on January 6. Garlinghouse publicized the meeting on social media platform X the following day, calling it a “great dinner” and a “strong start to 2025.” The high-profile meeting has since sparked widespread speculation about Ripple’s ongoing legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The dinner has drawn reactions from industry experts, who have suggested that the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple over XRP may soon conclude.
The SEC lawsuit, which began in December 2020, alleges that Ripple illegally sold XRP tokens as unregistered securities. The case is seen as a landmark for the cryptocurrency industry, with potential implications for how digital assets are classified and regulated in the U.S. Market observers noted the timing of the dinner as significant, especially as speculation grows about how regulatory policies could evolve under a potential second Trump administration.
