Former Ripple director Sean McBride has suggested that Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse could potentially be appointed as a crypto-focused role in Donald Trump's White House. The position, rumored to be the first of its kind, would indicate the administration's increasing interest in regulating and promoting innovation in the crypto industry. McBride's statement has sparked discussion within the XRP community, and he confirmed that Garlinghouse would likely step down as CEO to take on the role. The timing of the speculation aligns with key developments at Ripple, including the resolution of its legal battle with the SEC. McBride also acknowledged the possibility of former CFTC chairman Christopher Giancarlo being a potential candidate for the role. The appointment of a "Crypto Czar" would signify the government's intention to engage with blockchain technology and digital assets at a higher level.
