Former CFTC Chair Chris Giancarlo has praised XRP for its resilience in the face of intense regulatory scrutiny, particularly during the Gensler-Warren era. Giancarlo highlighted XRP's ability to remain operational and relevant despite being a focal point of aggressive regulatory actions, such as the SEC v. Ripple lawsuit, which concluded in August 2025 after nearly five years. He urged observers to respect XRP's perseverance through these challenges. Giancarlo also noted that banks are likely to accelerate blockchain adoption once regulatory clarity improves. He pointed to initiatives like the Canton blockchain, launched by Goldman Sachs, BNP Paribas, and Deutsche Börse, as examples of blockchain's potential in institutional finance. However, he emphasized that the future of finance will be multi-chain, not dominated by any single blockchain. The industry is currently awaiting comprehensive crypto legislation through the Clarity Act, which remains stalled in the Senate.
