Ripple CEO: Pro-Crypto Candidates Won in Both Parties; Industry Will Not Leave the U.S.

TechFlow reported on November 6 that, according to Bitcoin.com News, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said in a post on X on November 4 that pro-crypto candidates won in both parties, and “67 million (and growing) Americans using crypto are not leaving.” The new Congress should continue the same mission: clear rules and building in the U.S.

The figure comes from the National Cryptocurrency Association (NCA)'s 2026 Crypto Holders Status Report, released on May 13. The study, conducted in partnership with Harris Poll, found that about one-quarter of U.S. adults hold crypto assets, up from one-fifth a year earlier; NCA Chair Stuart Alderoty is Ripple's Chief Legal Officer.

Alderoty attributed the victories to years of investment by the Super PAC Fairshake and grassroots advocacy groups, and said early data from Stand With Crypto showed that many pro-crypto lawmakers from both parties were elected. Ripple made a third $25 million contribution to Fairshake in November 2024. He said, “Clear rules for digital assets have never been a single election cycle issue,” and expressed eagerness to work with both parties.
