Ripple: 119th Congress Most Pro-Crypto in History

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, stated in a post on social media X, that the 119th Congress was the most pro-crypto in the history of the United States on Saturday (04/01). With Republican control and new leadership at the *Securitiez and Exchange Commission* (SEC).

Mike Johnson's victory as Speaker of the House and the return of Donald Trump to the White House have given new hope to the crypto community, who feel their interests will be better protected.

Garlinghouse also revealed that many crypto projects have faced difficulties before, with enforcement actions that could force many businesses to leave the United States.

However, he is optimistic that with the support of pro-crypto legislators in Congress, such as Representative French Hill, legislation related to market structure and stablecoins will get attention in the upcoming session.

Additionally, the cryptocurrency industry has invested heavily in the 2024 general election, supporting more than 200 pro-crypto legislators through lobbying such as *Stand With Crypto*.
