    Ripple CEO on Crypto Regulation: Why USA Risks Falling Behind

    Story Highlights
    • With the U.S. election imminent, industry leaders are pushing for clear crypto regulations.

    • Both Trump and Harris may appoint new, pro-crypto leadership at the SEC, sparking hope for a friendlier regulatory climate.

    • Key figures, like Rippleโ€™s Brad Garlinghouse and Coinbaseโ€™s Paul Grewal, stress that millions of Americans see crypto in their financial future.

    Reputed crypto leaders and experts demand the upcoming US administration implement clearer crypto regulation policies. They warn that if the US fails to create a supportive framework for the industry, other countries will seize that opportunity, pushing the US far behind.

    With the US election, in which Republican candidate Donald Trump will compete against Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, just a few days away, here is what leading voices in the cryptocurrency industry have to say!ย 

    SEC Leadership Is Headed for Change

    Insiders suggest that new leadership at the SEC is almost certain, no matter who wins. If elected, Trump is expected to replace the current SEC Chair. Meanwhile, rumors indicate that Harris could also consider appointing a pro-crypto executive to lead the agency. This anticipated shake-up is sparking optimism within the crypto community that the U.S. may soon see a more industry-aligned regulatory environment.

    Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse expressed hope that the next administration will create a friendlier climate for the cryptocurrency sector by establishing clearer laws and replacing the current SEC Chair, Gary Gensler, known for his strict anti-crypto stance.

    Coinbaseโ€™s Paul Grewal Stresses Urgency: Regulations When?!

    Paul Grewal, the Chief Legal Officer of Coinbase, emphasized why the US should not delay further in creating a crypto-friendly environment. Grewal warned that if the US administration does not create a clearer legal crypto framework soon, the industry may thrive in other regions leaving the US far behind. He noted that nearly 52 million Americans envision crypto as part of their future, so the next US regime has no choice but to address their concerns about cryptocurrency regulations.

    The push for clear, consistent crypto regulations is intensifying. As the 2024 election nears, the crypto industryโ€™s hopes hinge on the next administrationโ€™s ability to build a supportive environment for digital assets in the U.S.

    Clarity is crucial in the crypto world – will the new leaders deliver?
