 Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple, calls the 🇺🇸U.S. the worst nation for startups to launch. Garlinghouse says the U.S. should consider implementing <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/crypto?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">#crypto</a> policies from Singapore, the 🇬🇧U.K., the 🇦🇪UAE and 🇨🇭Switzerland.— DeFi UnCut (@DefiUncut) <a href="https://twitter.com/DefiUncut/status/1701851254916325732?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">September 13, 2023</a>

Moreover, he added that the US should learn from Singapore, the U.K., the UAE and Switzerland to become a crypto-friendly hub.&nbsp;

According to a <a href="https://crypto.news/crypto-millionaires-number-exceeds-88k-report-reveals/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">report</a> on Sept. 6, the investment migration company Henley and Partners ranks Singapore, the UAE, Hong Kong, and Switzerland as the most crypto-friendly regions for their tax policies, adoption rate and technology infrastructure.&nbsp; 
In his speech, Garlinghouse pointed out the SEC’s lawsuits against Ripple and Grayscale that the regulator seems to be losing. 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
 “I think you’re seeing the momentum shift. I think that it used to be that a lot of judges were like: ‘Well, the SEC is always right,’ and they weren’t fighting that [but] I think you’re starting to see the pattern change.” <cite>Brad Garlinghouse said at Token 2049 in Singapore</cite>

Furthermore, the U.S. SEC called Ripple nothing but a computer code with no “intrinsic” value which faced the company’s counter. The U.S.-based firm <a href="https://crypto.news/ripple-counters-sec-says-xrp-has-intrinsic-value/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">claimed</a> that <a href="https://crypto.news/price/xrp/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP</a> is a bridge cryptocurrency and could be used for cross-border transactions. 
After the court ruled in favor of Ripple and its native cryptocurrency, XRP, the SEC <a href="https://crypto.news/sec-cites-knotty-legal-problems-as-reason-for-appealing-ripple-ruling/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">urged</a> an appeal, saying these “knotty legal problems” must be reviewed.&nbsp; 
Ultimately, Garlinghouse concluded that his firm would “build the right product” and “focus on the technology and to support responsible regulation.”
