Trump’s Crypto Wave: Ripple CEO Predicts 2025 Will Be Wild 🚀

by

Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple, has decided to gaze into the crystal ball of the future and predict that crypto adoption is about to go full-on rollercoaster mode. Why? Because Donald Trump, the man who once tweeted more than a caffeinated parrot, has apparently decided to give the crypto industry a big, golden thumbs-up. 🦅

In an interview with Fox Business, Garlinghouse explained that the U.S. government has finally stopped treating the crypto industry like a piñata at a regulatory party. No more lawsuits, no more “regulation by enforcement”—just pure, unadulterated growth. Or so he says. 📈

“Once the U.S. government filed suit, we were basically frozen in the U.S. market,” Garlinghouse said, sounding like a man who’s been thawed out of a financial cryogenic chamber. “About 95% of Ripple’s customers today are non-U.S. financial institutions. We’re talking big names like HSBC and BBVA, and some payment providers you’ve probably never heard of because they’re too busy counting money in Japan.” 💴

“The market opportunity here is massive,” he continued, as if he were describing the plot of a blockbuster movie. “Trillions of dollars are flowing cross-border globally, and it’s still dominated by the Swift network—a technology architecture that was developed 50 years ago. That’s like trying to run a spaceship on a steam engine. But now, thanks to the ‘Trump effect,’ things are changing. Asset prices are up, and adoption is about to go through the roof.” 🚀

Garlinghouse also hinted that blockchain technology could be used for everything from trading stocks to buying and selling real estate. Because why not? If blockchain can handle crypto, it can probably handle your mortgage too. 🏠

“We’re already seeing a change in domestic interest,” he said, sounding like a man who’s just discovered a new flavor of ice cream. “In the six weeks after President Trump was elected, we signed more deals in the U.S. than we had in the previous six months. These technologies are going to rewire the financial infrastructure of the U.S. over the next 10 to 20 years. Payments, real estate transactions, securities—you name it, blockchain’s got it.” 💡
