Ripple prepares for SEC policy shift amid Trump’s pro-crypto agenda

As Trump pledges to replace SEC Chair Gary Gensler, blockchain firm Ripple sees a chance for more favorable policies in a reshuffled regulatory landscape.

Donald Trump’s vow to replace SEC Chair Gary Gensler on “day one” is raising hopes within Ripple (XRP) and the broader crypto sector for a more friendly environment in the U.S.

As crypto.news earlier reported, Ripple chief executive Brad Garlinghouse has called for regulatory clarity, urging the appointment of a pro-crypto SEC chair. He particularly suggested candidates like Robinhood’s Dan Gallagher, former CFTC head Christopher Giancarlo, and ex-Comptroller Brian Brooks as potential nominees.

SEC vs. crypto industry

Since taking office in April 2021, Gensler has led a tough crackdown on crypto, targeting crypto giants such as Coinbase and Ripple for allegedly offering unregistered securities.

The SEC even secured a historic $4.5 billion settlement with Terraform Labs and its disgraced founder Do Kwon, who has been imprisoned in Montenegro since 2023. As crypto.news noted in a feature story, U.S. regulators imposed $32 billion in fines on crypto companies to resolve compliance disputes in 2024 alone.

The crypto space has long criticized Gensler’s approach, with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong recently suggesting that the next SEC chair should publicly apologize for what he called the “damage” done to the U.S. crypto sector.

Typically, the SEC chair resigns with a new administration. This means Gensler’s departure would not happen until late January, when Trump returns to the Oval Office. If Gensler steps down, the SEC would be left with a 2-2 party-line split, likely stalling further aggressive enforcement until a new chair is confirmed.
