Ripple CEO Backs Trump After Crypto Law Signed
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse praised the Trump administration for its growing alignment with the crypto industry, calling it the most supportive U.S. government stance to date.
His comments followed the White House signing of the GENIUS Act—a major legislative win for the digital asset sector.
Though absent from the ceremony, Garlinghouse noted Ripple’s presence at the event and celebrated the moment as a major step toward regulatory clarity. The GENIUS Act introduces national standards for stablecoins, requiring full asset backing and compliance frameworks for issuers.
Ripple’s legal chief Stuart Alderoty welcomed the bill as long-overdue structure that benefits both innovators and consumers. Coinbase CLO Paul Grewal agreed, highlighting how clear stablecoin rules could reinforce the dollar’s dominance in the evolving global finance system.

TRON’s Justin Sun also voiced support, emphasizing that regulation tied to properly collateralized stablecoins will encourage responsible innovation and user protection.
The law’s passage follows months of political engagement by crypto firms and a noticeable shift in tone from President Trump, who now appears to view digital assets as strategically important. For Ripple, the moment marks a potential reset in its ongoing battle for regulatory legitimacy.

It started in 2016 with Bitcoin. Like most people at the time, he didn't fully understand it - so he kept digging. Blockchain, tokenomics, the projects, the cycles. That curiosity never stopped, and eventually pulled him into traditional markets too: equities, commodities, macro. Not because he left crypto behind, but because you can't properly understand one without the other. What drives him is straightforward: he wants to know why something is happening, not just that it's happening. Most market coverage stops at the headline - price up, price down, here's a chart. Alex finds that kind of reporting actively unhelpful. If you walk away from an article without understanding the mechanism behind the move, what did you actually learn? He holds a degree in Tourism from New Bulgarian University - not the most obvious path into financial markets, but markets have a way of pulling in people who are simply too curious to stay out. He has authored over 200 in-depth analyses and more than 10,000 articles across crypto and traditional finance. He still thinks every day in markets teaches him something new. That's probably why he hasn't stopped.
