The executives of Ripple, including CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty, had the opportunity to meet Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate as the year 2025 began. The cryptocurrency industry is in a state of transition and this dinner could become a turning point for Ripple.
Ripple’s 2025 Start Off Strong
This marks a good start of 2025 as Garlinghouse himself posted on X on January 7th. He shared a picture with Trump along with Alderoty and commented on the success of the evening. Alderoty made a round of sarcastic comments, saying, “The beef bourguignon was really good.”
A decisive victory was hinting at being set within the crypto community in the light of Alderoty’s recent posts. In light of Ripple’s victory over SEC in their long standing battle, legal pro John E Deaton pointed out that SEC’s lawsuit on Ripple was a mere overreach of power.
A Shifting Landscape
A considerable amount of domestic focus was placed by Ripple as the meeting was strategically timed along with Trump’s presidential launch meeting. Garlinghouse stated how there were three openings out of four were for US posts when previously Ripple’s international expansion off shale politics was attempted.
Garlinghouse attributed the rise in crypto investments in the US to the “Trump bull market” and mentioned the favorable conditions after the elections for Ripples’ operations within the US.
Political Discussions and the Ripple Expansion Plans
The dinner at Mar-a-Lago also connects to ongoing discussions between politicians and business leaders in crypto. Senator Cynthia Lummis has had meetings with Paul Atkins, Trump’s likely SEC Chairman, to push for regulatory changes beneficial for digital securities.
XRP, one of the largest operating currencies of the company, whose sales are expected to pick up noticeably in the near future, strengthens the competitive position of Ripple company. Crypto analysts suggest significant levels for the currencies. Some experts for example Captain Faibik suggest a level increase by 50%, that’s over $4 and up. This should put XRP in the forefront with Tether in the not too distant future.
Apart from this, with Monica Long announcing the RLUSD listing on more exchanges and partnering with Chainlink to improve DeFi integration, the scope of Ripple services is also widened.
As Garlinghouse’s dinner with Trump suggests, we expect 2025 to be Ripple’s year of thanks considering the shift in the regulation as well as the growth in the market.
