Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, has expressed his support for the nomination of Paul S. Atkins as the next chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by President-elect Donald Trump. Garlinghouse praised Atkins' potential to reshape the SEC's approach to digital assets and called him "an outstanding choice." Atkins, a vocal advocate for cryptocurrencies and blockchain innovation, is known for his balanced approach to regulatory oversight. The nomination is seen as a potential turning point for the SEC's relationship with cryptocurrencies, and industry leaders are optimistic for a more crypto-friendly SEC under Atkins' leadership. If confirmed, Atkins is expected to drive a regulatory framework that fosters innovation while protecting investors, which could be beneficial for Ripple in its appeals phase of the SEC lawsuit.
