The CEO of Ripple, Brad Garlinghouse, believes that the United States is currently one of the worst places to launch a cryptocurrency startup. Speaking at a panel in Singapore, Garlinghouse stated that he would not recommend starting a company in the US, and encouraged the country to follow the lead of Singapore, the UK, UAE, and Switzerland in terms of policies that promote crypto innovation while protecting consumers. Garlinghouse blamed the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for engaging in a political war with the industry and claimed that recent court wins for Ripple and Grayscale against the SEC indicate a shift in the court's attitude towards the industry. Despite its significance as a market for Ripple, Garlinghouse revealed that the company is expanding its services to countries that have a more progressive approach to blockchain technology. Additionally, during the panel, the president of OKX, Hong Fang, expressed doubts about the readiness of investors for a spot Bitcoin ETF given the lack of testing and the volatility of the cryptocurrency.
