Ripple CEO Confirms Dinner Meeting With Trump at Mar-a-Lago

by

2025 saw an important encounter between Ripple‘s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, and the company’s Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, with the former President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. This meeting marked a promising beginning to the year.

Garlinghouse announced on X (previously known as Twitter), saying, “I had an excellent dinner yesterday with @realDonaldTrump and @s_alderoty. A promising beginning to 2025!

As a crypto investor, I’m thrilled about the momentum Ripple is gaining following its triumphant legal battle against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This win, which exempts XRP from being classified as an unregistered security, has paved the way for Ripple to expand its influence in the cryptocurrency market.

Legal advisor John Deaton commended Ripple’s tenacity by pointing out its capability to endure the SEC’s tough legal strategies. Meanwhile, crypto analysts express positivity regarding XRP’s future prospects, suggesting a possible price increase up to $3.

Simultaneously, Ripple is pushing forward with its innovative RLUSD stablecoin and partnerships, such as the one with Chainlink, to improve decentralized finance (DeFi) services. As per Ripple President Monica Long, there are plans for broader adoption of RLUSD across various platforms.

In this gathering, I find myself part of a discourse that has seen heightened interactions between key figures in the cryptocurrency realm and policy-makers. Notably, this includes Senator Cynthia Lummis and Paul Atkins, who were anticipated to helm the SEC during the Trump administration.

Based on Ripple’s expanding impact and ongoing advancements, it seems likely that 2025 will mark a significant period of transformation for the blockchain titan and the entire cryptocurrency sector.
