Ripple Calls for Political Action in Driving Crypto Forward

Ripple advocates for increased political involvement to advance crypto policy, emphasizing its efforts during the 2024 election cycle. Lauren Belive, Ripple’s Global Co-Head of Policy, highlights the significance of direct engagement with policymakers and cites the example of The West Wing’s “those who show up” quote. Ripple’s strategy involved a substantial investment in political engagement, aiming to impact U.S. leadership towards more supportive crypto legislation. This comes amidst increased regulatory pressure from the SEC, which has issued over 100 enforcement actions against crypto firms, including Ripple itself.
