According to Foresight News, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse commented on U.S. Democratic Congressman Brad Sherman’s remarks that "the value of Bitcoin is unsustainable" and said that Vice President Harris had better not listen to such nonsense.

Garlinghouse said that Democrats did not win any votes by opposing cryptocurrencies, while Republicans won votes by embracing and encouraging innovation in the United States. He believes it is time to catch up with many other leading economies and governments that have clear rules of the road.
