Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, has linked the success of U.S.-based cryptocurrencies to the outcome of the recent presidential election in a discussion with FOX Business anchor Liz Claman.

He highlighted Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), and XRP alongside Bitcoin (BTC) as top-performing assets since Election Day, attributing their surge to heightened optimism surrounding Donald Trump’s victory and his anticipated pro-crypto policies as President-elect.

According to FOX Business journalist Eleanor Terrett’s post on X (formerly Twitter), Garlinghouse credited U.S.-based digital assets for consistently outperforming the broader cryptocurrency market.

“The best performing crypto assets (besides $BTC) are all related to U.S. companies — $XRP, $SOL, $ADA. It shouldn’t be a surprise given the pressure now expected to be lifted from U.S. crypto with Trump’s win.” – @bgarlinghouse to @LizClaman on the success of these tokens.

The Ripple executive pointed to Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential elections as a driver for his optimism about these tokens. The crypto community anticipates crypto-friendly policies under Trump’s administration once federal agencies, including the SEC, finalize leadership changes.

Reports suggest that Trump’s advisers are considering appointing key industry figures to influential positions, such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), currently led by Gary Gensler. Gensler has been a noted critic of digital assets, creating tension between regulators and the crypto industry.
