The reasons behind this surge could be multi-fold. On the one hand, XRP might just be late to the Trump-initiated party and is joining the bandwagon a week late. That seems like a simple enough explanation since there’s no evident announcement by the company behind it.
However, it could also be attributed to somewhat speculative rumors circling X. A popular author covering financial markets recently posted that Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, had followed the footsteps of Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson and actually met with Trump or someone from his upcoming administration to discuss a potential regulatory framework around cryptocurrencies.
Although there has been no official statement from Garlinghouse, the author – Zach Rector – posted a tweet indicating that Ripple’s chief exec had liked his initial publication, which he believes is enough confirmation.
