After an impressive rally in the past days, XRP is currently moving sideways trading at $1,76 with 2.7% losses in the 24-hour chart. However, the confirmation of Gary Gensler as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman by the U.S. Senate could bring further benefits to the token<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With 53 votes in favor and 45 against, the U.S. Senate gave \u201ca warm congratulations\u201d to Gensler. The new SEC chairman has a seemingly more positive stance towards cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n

Before returning to public service, Gensler taught a course on cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).<\/p>\n

Therefore, he is expected to exercise more “balanced” actions during his administration. The regulator has a legal proceeding open against Ripple Labs and two of its executives for the alleged illegal sale of a security, XRP.<\/p>\n

Gensler’s arrival could exert a positive influence on a case that, many within the XRP community, consider unfair or disproportionate. Numerous members of the crypto industry have called for regulatory clarity from authorities in the United States.<\/p>\n

"A warm congratulations to Gary Gensler on his Senate confirmation to become Chair of the SEC. He will be joining a dedicated staff that works tirelessly day in and day out on behalf of investors and our markets. 1\/2<\/p>\n
