Golden Finance reported that Kraken CEO Dave Ripley said in an interview with CNBC on Thursday that the Biden administration is "softening" its stance on cryptocurrencies. He said: "Earlier this year, the U.S. executive branch strongly opposed cryptocurrencies through the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, but there are many supporters within the U.S. government. I visit Washington regularly and meet with many people in Congress and the Senate, and there are many supporters there. I think in the past few months, maybe two months or so, we have seen strong support - and now there is bipartisan support." Ripley said in the interview: "When people really take the time to understand Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, there is almost always a positive result."
