<p>This confidence is explained: <strong>Gary Gensler</strong>, at the head of the SEC, has been <strong>a hindrance to crypto-assets</strong>. Trump, by promising his eviction, has won the favor of Ripple and other altcoins. </p>
<div class="my-4">

<p>The lawsuit filed by 18 states strengthens this climate of distrust towards regulators, and Ripple seems ready to take advantage of it. </p> 
<p>If some denounce <strong>a political manipulation attempt</strong>, Garlinghouse remains optimistic. For him, this dynamic could redefine the American landscape of crypto-assets: « <em>A new breath for innovation and entrepreneurship</em>. » </p>

<p>In conclusion, Ripple, once <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/a-massive-crypto-support-10-million-xrp-for-kamala-harris/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">an ally of Kamala Harris</a>, continues to surprise.

As regulations waver and alliances form, Ripple proves it is ready to redefine the rules of the game.</p>
