According to ChainCatcher, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse shared his views on Vice President Kamala Harris and cryptocurrency policy on the social media platform X on Wednesday.

First, he warned that “making conclusions and assumptions about candidates based purely on political stances without any policy recommendations is holding the crypto industry back (similar to what tribalism has done for years),” adding: Vice President Harris is no stranger to Silicon Valley, and she has an incredible opportunity to refocus on issues critical to American competitiveness (such as cryptocurrency regulation).

Garlinghouse noted that he remains open-minded, but warned that if Harris adopts the rhetoric of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, she may underestimate the political complexities involving figures such as Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler.
