During a CNN interview with Julia Chatterley, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said that abandoning XRP and replacing it with an alternative could “certainly” be part of the solution in the United States when asked about “contingency plans”:
That certainly could be part of the solution. I think there is certain strangeness that XRP has kind of picked winners here: it said that Bitcoin is not a security, it said that Ether is not a security, but really everything else, I think, is kind of at risk. Particularly, given what they have done in the lawsuit against Ripple. But, you know, we could do that.
