Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse commented on XRP’s latest price drop, which saw the cryptocurrency fall by over 11% in a single day. On Thursday, XRP plummeted to $0.5101 after trading significantly higher at $0.6058 earlier in the day.
The sharp decline in XRP’s price came in response to the U.S. SEC’s announcement that it would appeal the rulings in the concluded Ripple lawsuit, which triggered a substantial sell-off in the XRP market.
Crypto enthusiast Carlos Miguel shared a graph on X illustrating the dramatic price drop. Garlinghouse responded with a sarcastic comment, implying the XRP chart shows how the SEC is “protecting” investors. His remark highlights his view that the SEC is harming XRP investors, contradicting the agency’s stated mission.
