Trending cryptocurrency XRP has attained a new high for 2024 after surging by over 13% to trade at $0.77, according to on-chain data. At the time of writing, the Ripple-backed cryptocurrency is the top gainer among the top 10 cryptocurrencies. This development has excited the XRP community amid the rumored imminent resignation of Gary Gensler, the SEC chairman.
In a recent statement prepared for a legal conference, Gensler emphasized that crypto investors have experienced significant harm adding that most cryptocurrencies do not have actual use cases. Moreover, he stresses the importance of providing proper regulations for the crypto sector. Notably, the final line of Gensler’s speech sounded like he was leaving office soon. He said;
“I’ve been proud to serve with my colleagues at the SEC who, day in and day out, work to protect American families on the highways of finance.”
