Ripple Secures BitGo CEO's Support in Ongoing Lawsuit with SEC

Defining BitGo CEO’s Support for Ripple

In a Twitter post, Belshe clarified that his support for Ripple’s victory in the lawsuit was not driven by personal affection for XRP but rather by a desire to bring about regulatory change.

He expressed the belief that a favorable outcome for Ripple would pave the way for regulatory frameworks that foster innovation, just as Bitcoin (BTC) was allowed to develop without being stifled by regulatory burdens in its early stages.

In his statement, BitGo CEO Mike Belshe drew a parallel between the early days of Bitcoin and the current situation with Ripple and XRP. Belshe pointed out that Bitcoin, despite its vision of decentralization, had a centralized aspect in its early years, similar to Ripple. 

Consequently, he suggested that if Bitcoin had been subjected to the same regulatory scrutiny as Ripple is facing now, it could have been labeled a “security”.

The analyst pseudonymously known as Credible Crypto tells his 405,200 followers on the social media platform X that the native asset for the stablecoin-focused decentralized exchange Curve DAO (CRV) is “going so much higher” after entities locked a total of 900 million CRV. “That’s nearly one-third of all CRV that will ever exist (3.3 billion maximum supply) and 43% of existing supply.

That means one-third of all the CRV that will ever exist (43% of current total supply) has essentially been ‘burned’ and taken off the market forever.” CRV is trading at $0.281 at time of writing.
