XRP News Today: Garlinghouse Says 67 Million US Crypto Users Aren’t Going Anywhere

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse rejected the view that the U.S. midterm results are negative for crypto, saying pro-industry lawmakers were elected from both parties and that the 67 million-plus Americans who use crypto remain a durable constituency. The comments, posted on X, framed the industry's political priority as defending those users' interests in Washington. The remarks come as XRP traders watch for regulatory clarity in the U.S., where Ripple's long-running SEC litigation has been a key overhang on the token. Garlinghouse's bipartisan framing signals Ripple's lobbying strategy ahead of the next legislative session. What to watch next: any movement on U.S. market-structure legislation and the SEC case's remaining remedies phase, both of which could shape XRP's access to U.S. exchanges.
