Today's Influencer - Ripple CEO opposes polarization in cryptocurrency

---

Yesterday, Brad Garlinghouse, chief executive officer of Ripple, said in an interview that tribalism is harmful to the cryptocurrency industry, and unhealthy polarization does not bode well for the growth of the cryptocurrency market. He said that many high-quality cryptocurrencies can succeed, which is why tribalism has no place.

He recalls that many companies managed to thrive at the same time during the Internet boom in the late 1990s because they were committed to solving different problems. He also said he was particularly worried about the lack of effective communication and coordination between cryptocurrency industry leaders and regulators in Washington. Garringhouse called the lack of cooperation "shocking".
