There’s more to the Brad Garlinghouse-Cynthia Lummis feud

Bitcoin maxis laugh at Ripple’s failures, but there’s more to Brad Garlinghouse’s cancelled meeting with Cynthia Lummis than meets the eye.

Ripple played Trump to pump XRP — now he’s cutting ties

Thanks to lobbying efforts that garnered a thumbs-up from Donald Trump, Ripple’s XRP gained $44B in 75 minutes to hit a market cap of $173B.

Ripple claims its reports have not had the intended effect and that they were used against the company by former SEC leadership.

Crypto exchanges report around $55M in RLUSD volume over the last 24 hours — 99.4% less than Circle’s $9.8B for its much larger USDC.

Ripple’s $4.9M donation was the second largest overall after the $5 million handed over by poultry producer Pilgrim’s Pride.
