Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

IS RIPPLE CEO BRAD GARLINGHOUSE PICK FOR DONALD TRUMP’S CRYPTO CZAR?

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse is rumored to be Donald Trump's pick for Crypto Czar as Ripple eyes IPO and expands post-SEC victory.

▪️Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse may become Trump's Crypto Czar, says ex-executive Sean McBride.

▪️50M XRP tokens, worth over $70M, recently moved between unidentified wallets.

▪️Ripple preps for IPO and leadership change as SEC legal battle ends.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has become a key figure in discussions around the rumored “Crypto Czar” position in Donald Trump’s White House. Speculation about Garlinghouse’s potential role in shaping U.S. crypto policy gained momentum following comments from former Ripple executive Sean McBride.

This comes amid notable developments in the crypto industry, including the movement of 50 million XRP tokens valued at over $70 million between unidentified wallets.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse Pick for Donald Trump’s Crypto Czar?
The concept of a “Crypto Czar” role emerged as Donald Trump’s incoming administration considers creating a dedicated position to oversee crypto policy. Former Ripple executive Sean McBride hinted at the possibility of Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse stepping into this role. McBride shared his thoughts on X (formerly Twitter), saying,

“There is a real and growing possibility Brad Garlinghouse will be chosen as Trump’s new Crypto Czar.”

According to McBride, Garlinghouse may step down from his position as Ripple CEO if appointed. He also suggested that Ripple already has plans for leadership succession. This potential move aligns with Ripple’s recent resolution of its legal battle with the SEC, a development that may allow Garlinghouse to take on broader responsibilities.

Ripple, under Brad Garlinghouse’s leadership, has become a leading player in the blockchain and digital asset space, with its native token XRP seeing renewed attention from investors. The company has been preparing for an IPO and expanding its offerings, positioning itself for future growth.

Crypto Community Divided on Candidates for Crypto Czar
While Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s name is in the spotlight, other candidates are also being considered for the role. 

Chris Giancarlo, the former chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), is viewed as a strong contender. Known as “Crypto Dad,” Giancarlo has consistently supported regulatory clarity for blockchain and digital assets. Reports suggest Giancarlo removed himself from consideration for SEC Chair, leaving him available for the crypto-specific role.

Another candidate is Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase. Armstrong has received public support from Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano. Hoskinson emphasized Armstrong’s ability to navigate regulatory challenges and unite the crypto industry. Armstrong has reportedly met with Trump’s team to discuss crypto policy, fueling speculation about his potential appointment.

Former Comptroller of the Currency Brian Brooks and Ripple’s Brad Garlinghouse are also viewed as viable choices. Each candidate brings unique experience to the role, with Trump’s team said to be carefully vetting options before making a decision.

Ripple Timing Could Influence Garlinghouse’s Move
Garlinghouse’s potential transition to a government role comes at a pivotal time for Ripple. With its lengthy SEC legal battle largely resolved and plans for an IPO rumored, the company is in a strong position. Former Ripple executive McBride commented,

“I think the timing works for Brad and Ripple given some of the other things happening publicly and behind the scenes.”

Ripple has also been focused on product launches and potential mergers, signaling a period of growth and transformation. If Garlinghouse steps down, Ripple is expected to have a smooth leadership transition, ensuring continued progress in the rapidly evolving blockchain space.

BRICS MOVING AWAY FROM THE DE-DOLLARIZATION AGENDA

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin proudly displayed a mock-up currency bill at the 16th summit in Kazan this year. The BRICS alliance clarified that the banknote is unofficial and was only a display presented by Putin. The theatrics of a BRICS currency followed Russia’s de-dollarization agenda to evade sanctions.

However, the de-dollarization agenda has no takers even among the existing BRICS members. Countries like India, South Africa, and Brazil are slowly taking a step back as the dust settles after the summit. Only desperate countries like Russia, China, and Iran are advancing de-dollarization using BRICS as a stepping stone.

BRICS: Russia & China’s De-Dollarization Plans Find No Takers

No serious development about launching a new BRICS currency is taking shape within the bloc. The formation of a BRICS currency is consensus-based and needs the approval of all members before taking shape. India has distanced itself from the de-dollarization agenda despite being a member of the BRICS alliance.

India needs the US dollar to survive, as without it, its goal of becoming the third-largest economy will stall. The Indian economy is closely tied to businesses in the US for the IT sector, not other BRICS countries. The de-dollarization initiative pushed by BRICS members Russia and China will only hamper India’s economy and businesses.

China and Russia are only using the BRICS bloc to further their agenda of global financial domination. Even Iran has joined the bandwagon as its economy is battered by US sanctions. While BRICS de-dollarization is growing slowly, it has now become a ‘one step forward and two steps back’ type of approach.

The steps to de-dollarization are long and hard and without unity from the members, it will remain a distant dream. The US dollar has more benefits than other currencies as it can sustain the harsh yet competitive currency markets.
