Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse praised the success of U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), calling them the most successful ETFs in U.S. history. He criticized skeptics of digital assets and noted that spot Bitcoin ETFs have accumulated assets faster than any previous ETF. Data shows that spot Bitcoin ETFs have brought in billions of dollars since their approval earlier this year, with BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust leading the pack. Meanwhile, Bitcoin's price dipped below $100,000, and its overall market value dropped below $2 trillion. Ripple, along with two other firms, invested $144 million in super PACs supporting pro-crypto candidates in recent elections. When asked about industry influence on lawmakers, Garlinghouse denied the use of fear tactics and emphasized the importance of educating voters and lawmakers.
