Rumors of Ripple CEO Meeting with Trump Spark Speculation About XRP’s Future

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse is reportedly planning to meet former President Donald Trump. The subject of the meeting has been speculated on social media, with some suggesting it could impact XRP prices. However, there is no official confirmation of the meeting happening. Despite this, Garlinghouse and Trump met earlier this year, raising expectations that their conversation could focus on potential policies for both XRP and the broader crypto market. The meeting’s outcome has fuelled speculation about a potential surge in XRP price, as witnessed during their previous meeting where XRP surged to $3.13 following the encounter. This followed Garlinghouse advocating for XRP inclusion in the proposed U.S. strategic crypto reserve. He argued against exclusively using Bitcoin or other single-currency solutions, emphasizing that the crypto industry has a unique ability to achieve shared objectives through collaboration instead of competition. Garlinghouse also advocated for cross-industry cooperation within the fragmented crypto space, highlighting the potential for XRP’s role in driving innovation and growth.
