Brad Garlinghouse (CEO Ripple) may join Trump's "Crypto Council" – #XRP benefit?
Leaked information from Washington indicates that President Trump's White House is establishing a Crypto Advisory Council, led by David Sacks. Brad Garlinghouse – CEO of Ripple is mentioned as a leading candidate. Industry "giants" are racing to secure a seat as this will be the place to advise on a new regulatory framework for crypto.
Why are investors interested?
A clear regulatory framework = strong institutional capital. The council could drive key areas: asset classification (SEC/CFTC), custody standards, stablecoin regulations.
Lower capital costs. As legal risks cool down, risk premium decreases → digital asset valuations have room to expand.
Capital flow effects for XRP & alt L1/infra. The newly launched Ripple Prime targets institutional clients; if the CEO of Ripple secures a seat, expectations for the payment–custody ecosystem will be “greenlit.”
Trading angle:
Core portfolio holds BTC/ETH; monitor XRP ahead of key news milestones.
Watch: personnel announcement schedule, statements from Sacks/SEC/CFTC, ETF capital flows.
Conclusion: If the list is confirmed, this is a policy boost that could unlock a new capital cycle for the entire market. You can stock up an additional $XRP right now just like I do
