Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has voiced strong support for Ohio Senator JD Vance’s criticism of SEC Chairman Gary Gensler’s approach to regulating cryptocurrencies. His perspective comes amid increasing political and regulatory debates on how best to govern the burgeoning crypto sector.

On February 27, 2024, Bill Hughes posted a video where Senator JD Vance criticized Gary Gensler’s regulation of securities. Vance argued that Gensler’s methods are overly political and counterproductive. He accused Gensler of targeting useful tokens while neglecting those without specific utility. Vance sees blockchain technology as a tool to challenge Big Tech’s dominance, particularly social media giants. Though not an unwavering crypto advocate, Vance believes Gensler’s actions create regulatory barriers that protect current incumbents.
