Crypto Takes Center Stage on Mainstream Media
Garlinghouse revealed that his interview will focus on the growing momentum of cryptocurrencies and Ripple’s role in advocating for clearer regulations. His feature comes as XRP, Ripple's native token, recently rallied to a multi-year high of $1.60. Significantly, this surge aligns with optimism surrounding a potential leadership change at the SEC and increasing buzz around cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
The upcoming interview is expected to spotlight Ripple's growing influence in the financial sector. With regulatory shifts potentially reshaping the landscape, Ripple’s efforts toward fostering dialogue and cooperation with authorities are gaining attention. The platform’s trajectory has fueled discussions about Ripple's plans, including its potential IPO.
Past Crypto Features on “60 Minutes”
This isn’t the program's first exploration of cryptocurrency. Back in May 2019, *60 Minutes* aired an episode featuring Bitcoin and its pioneers, including Laszlo Hanyecz, famously known for spending 10,000 BTC on two pizzas. Garlinghouse’s interview will add to the program’s legacy of bringing crypto discussions to the mainstream.
