Garlinghouse: US on Track to Become Global Crypto Hub

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse remains optimistic about the United States becoming the global center of the cryptocurrency industry, despite ongoing regulatory uncertainty. In a recent tweet, he stated that making America the 'crypto capital of the world' is within reach.

The comments come after CFTC Chairman Michael Selig expressed gratitude to President Donald Trump for hosting leading figures from the U.S. innovation sector at the White House on August 19. The meeting aimed to ensure that the new frontier of finance would be built in the United States.

Garlinghouse attended the gathering alongside other industry leaders, including Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and Gemini co-founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. The White House has made becoming the 'crypto capital of the world' an explicit policy objective.
