"Ripple and Trump Dinner – A New Chapter for XRP"
On January 8, 2025, Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, had dinner with Donald Trump and Stu Alderoty, Ripple's Chief Legal Officer. The event was shared on Garlinghouse's official Twitter account with the caption:
"Great dinner last night with @realDonaldTrump & @s_alderoty. Strong start to 2025!"
This meeting could have a positive impact on the future of Ripple and XRP. Improved relationships with influential figures like Donald Trump and the possibility of more crypto-friendly regulations in the US provide strong reasons to expect XRP's price to rise. The meeting strengthens Ripple's position in its fight for regulatory clarity and global adoption.
It’s worth noting that on January 20, 2025, Gary Gensler will step down from his role as SEC Chairman, and the same day, Donald Trump’s administration will officially take office. With the next Ripple court hearing scheduled for January 21, 2025, everything seems to align perfectly, setting the stage for significant developments in the crypto space and for XRP.
