According to U.Today, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse is set to appear in an upcoming episode of '60 Minutes,' scheduled to air on December 8. Garlinghouse announced the official date on the X social media platform, highlighting the significance of the interview for the cryptocurrency industry. The discussion is anticipated to center around the ongoing efforts to achieve regulatory clarity for cryptocurrencies in the United States.
Garlinghouse's interview comes at a pivotal time for the crypto sector, as industry leaders continue to advocate for clearer regulations. In a recent social media post, Garlinghouse expressed optimism that the potential departure of SEC Chair Gary Gensler could positively impact the industry. This sentiment echoes previous remarks by Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko, who described Ripple's recent legal victory as a significant setback for the SEC's stance against cryptocurrencies.
The '60 Minutes' segment is also expected to highlight the recent performance of XRP, Ripple's affiliated token, which has seen a remarkable surge in value. On December 3, XRP reached a multi-year high of $2.82, as reported by CoinGecko. This development underscores the growing interest and momentum within the cryptocurrency market.
'60 Minutes,' known for its in-depth reporting, is the longest-running news program in American television history, having aired over 2,500 episodes since its inception in 1968. The upcoming episode featuring Garlinghouse is anticipated to provide valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing the cryptocurrency industry.
