Ripple chief executive officer Brad Garlinghouse has published a tweet in which he made a prediction about the future role of the U.S. for the cryptocurrency industry.
He also made an assumption about SEC Chairman Gary Gensler related to the Ripple-SEC case and all the cases initiated by the Securities and Exchange Commission recently.
Future "crypto capital of the world?"
The Ripple boss tweeted that he took part in the annual Crypto Conference organized by financial institution Cantor. Garlinghouse believes that now, after the drastic change in the U.S. political leadership announced on Nov. 5-6 and currently in progress, the U.S. is likely “to be the crypto capital of the world” in the near future.
Besides, Garlinghouse wondered if SEC chairman Gary Gensler is enjoying his last days in office since the newly elected U.S. leader promised to fire Gensler on day one of taking the helm in the Oval Office.

A week ago, the Ripple CEO published a tweet, in which he expressed a hope that Gensler would eventually be "held accountable for ignoring the law."
