Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse expresses optimism about the new U.S. Congress, deemed the most pro-crypto in history. He believes this could lead to significant changes in blockchain industry regulations.
New Congress Agenda
The Republican dominance in the House and Senate paves the way for advancing a pro-crypto agenda. Garlinghouse notes this situation opens up new opportunities, especially after a challenging period when cryptocurrency projects faced significant obstacles under Gary Gensler's leadership in the SEC.
Ripple and SEC: Key Events Ahead
Ripple's legal battle with the SEC has been ongoing for four years and is approaching a critical juncture. The SEC's deadline for filing appeals is set for January 15. A potential withdrawal of the appeal could be a major boost for Ripple and XRP.
Market on the Rise: Progress and Challenges
On January 3, XRP closed at $2.4535, up 2.21% compared to the previous day. Analysts also predict the possibility of further growth, especially if the SEC appeal is not filed and regulatory clarity is achieved.
With the new pro-crypto Congress, market activity is increasing, and XRP is moving towards further success. Rapid implementation of new regulations could significantly alter the legal framework and strengthen Ripple's market position.
