After years of regulatory pressure, Ripple\u2019s CEO has affirmed that US President Donald Trump and voters have beaten the last administration\u2019s broader, \u201cnonsensical crackdown on the crypto industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

US Anti-Crypto Era Is Over?<\/h2>\n

On Thursday, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse criticized the previous US administration\u2019s anti-crypto campaign, which targeted the digital assets sector for years and pushed firms and investors abroad.<\/p>\n

In an X post, the executive asserted<\/a> that \u201cthe \u2018Anti-Crypto Army\u2019 was defeated\u2026 by the courts\u2026 the voters. And Trump,\u201d who has repeatedly pledged to make the US the \u201ccrypto capital of the world\u201d since returning to the White House in 2025.<\/p>\n

To Garlinghouse, the Biden administration\u2019s crackdown on the industry \u201cnever made policy, legal or political sense.\u201d Moreover, he affirmed that the efforts to combat financial innovation \u201conly helped protect those that wanted to keep an old, often broken, system in place.\u201d<\/p>\n

His comments echoed similar remarks made by President Trump on Wednesday. On Truth Social, the US president stated that he had saved the American digital assets industry<\/a> from the former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Gary Gensler, and the \u201cAnti-Crypto Army,\u201d who nearly \u201cdestroyed\u201d the sector by driving Bitcoin (BTC), perpetuals, and innovation offshore.<\/p>\n

Now, \u201cAmerica is now the CRYPTO CAPITAL of the WORLD, and Builders and Entrepreneurs are coming BACK to the United States where they belong,\u201d Trump asserted, pledging to \u201cfuture-proof\u201d the digital asset market structure legislation under his leadership so that it \u201ccannot be undone by the Crypto Haters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new Frontier of Finance is being Built in America, and \u2018TRUMP\u2019 will NEVER let Crypto down!,\u201d he continued. In another statement<\/a> from this week, Trump also discussed the US\u2019s push to lead the digital assets sector, explaining that it is a major industry and the government must protect its leadership.<\/p>\n

\n

Other countries are trying diligently to replace us in that capacity, but we won\u2019t let that happen. It is a major Industry, and we must protect it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A New Regulatory Chapter<\/h2>\n

Over the past year and a half, US regulators have shifted from a \u201cregulation by enforcement\u201d strategy towards a more welcoming approach. On Wednesday, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) joined Gemini in a motion for relief from the judgment in the January 2025 order against the exchange, which included a $5 million penalty.<\/p>\n

As reported<\/a> by Bitcoinist, the Commission revealed it had reviewed the history of the investigation, the evidence, the charging decision, and the changes in federal digital asset policy, concluding that the complaint \u201cshould not have been filed \u2014 and would not have been under current enforcement standards.\u201d<\/p>\n

Similarly, the SEC has dismissed multiple investigations and lawsuits against crypto firms, while calling the industry one of the top priorities in its shift toward a pro-innovation approach.<\/p>\n

Last month, SEC Chairman Paul Atkins and Commissioner Hester Peirce affirmed<\/a> that the pivot to a more welcoming environment has made developing a clearer regulatory framework that is \u201cfit for purpose\u201d significantly easier. In addition, it allows the regulators to address problems the industry may face and open opportunities for innovation.<\/p>\n

Amid this new regulatory chapter, Ripple recently submitted<\/a> a letter to the SEC Crypto Task Force as a follow-up to a late March meeting between the regulator and the industry.<\/p>\n

In the letter, Ripple asked the regulator to clarify the treatment of payment stablecoins, crypto asset non-securities, and tokenized securities under the recent net capital and customer protection rules. It also asked for potential next steps for broader guidance and applauded the Task Force and Commissioner Peirce for the \u201cin-depth and engaging discussion.\u201d<\/p>\n
