Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse took to Twitter yesterday to voice his opinion on Gary Gensler's recent remarks on CNBC regarding digital currencies.
Gensler, Chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), made headlines when he said, "We don't need more digital currency," sparking a backlash among crypto enthusiasts and industry leaders alike.
Garlinghouse called Gensler's proclaimed 'pro-innovation' stance a 'farce,' pointing to the SEC's recent legal actions against Binance, Coinbase, and other crypto platforms.
In a fiery tweet, Garlinghouse wrote, "If it wasn’t already clear, it should be now – Chair Gensler’s laughable “pro-innovation” stance (as he said today), is exactly the opposite."
Vladislav SopovGarlinghouse also targeted Gensler personally in his second tweet, stating, "It’s embarrassing to watch an unelected bureaucrat flail like this to mask the fact that he and his agency don’t have the power that he so desperately craves. No one is fooled."
The Ripple CEO's biting critique adds to the growing discourse surrounding the SEC's recent legal actions against Binance and Coinbase.
