XRP Lawsuit News: Ripple Case at Risk of Being Dropped, Says Gasparino

Charlie Gasparino, a New York Post columnist and FOX Business Senior Correspondent, recently appeared on Anthony Pompliano’s podcast. Gasparino made harsh comments about the SEC’s handling of the Ripple case, calling the regulation unnecessary. 

He discussed the possibility that the ruling might be reversed, potentially putting Ripple back under legal scrutiny. He noted that with changes in political leadership, such as the potential influence of Donald Trump Donald Trump Donald Trump is an American former president politician, businessman, and media personality, who served as the 45th president of the U.S. between 2017 to 2021. Trump earned a Bachelor of science in economics from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968. Trump won the 2016 presidential election as the Republican Party nominee against Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton while losing the popular vote. As president, Trump ordered a travel ban on citizens from several Muslim-majority countries, diverted military funding toward building a wall on the U.S.–Mexico border, and implemented a family separation policy. Trump has remained a prominent figure in the Republican Party and is considered a likely candidate for the 2024 presidential election President there could be shifts in how the SEC handles the case. Gasparino made it clear that, as a reporter, he remains neutral in the crypto debate and will cover the story objectively, regardless of the outcome, as he does not have any personal stake in XRP.

“I think there’s a chance it gets reversed and XRP and Ripple’s back on the hook. The SEC may drop the whole thing now that Trump’s in there. That’s a whole other thing you have to worry about. And this is why I get it from both sides, both pro-crypto and anti-crypto,”

He Said.
