Ripple, victorious in its legal dispute with the SEC, is seeking to maintain connections within the Trump administration. However, a planned meeting between Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Bitcoin supporter Senator Cynthia Lummis has been abruptly canceled. While no official reason for the cancellation was given, it appears that political tensions may have played a role, as Senator Lummis’s son-in-law, Will Cole, is known to be associated with XRP and has expressed critical views of Ripple on social media. Garlinghouse expressed his disappointment and called for a rescheduled meeting, emphasizing his commitment to supporting pro-crypto legislation in the United States. He highlighted his intention to advocate for stablecoins and market structure reforms. Meanwhile, Garlinghouse’s Twitter post sparked debate within the XRP community, with some suggesting that Senator Lummis’s potential bias against Ripple could have contributed to the cancellation. The situation adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing battle between Ripple and the SEC.
