Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has confirmed that his highly anticipated interview with the renowned news program 60 Minutes will air on December 8, 2024.
This announcement, made via his official X account, comes at a critical time for the cryptocurrency industry as it continues its push for regulatory clarity in the U.S.

The XRP Lawsuit
Ripple and the SEC have been in a legal battle since December 2020, and Ripple. The lawsuit accused Ripple of illegally selling XRP as an unregistered security. The court’s ruling in favor of Ripple in July 2023 has been hailed as a pivotal event, with many suggesting it could reshape how cryptocurrencies are regulated in the U.S.
Despite multiple losses and a conclusion to the lawsuit in August of this year, the SEC filed an appeal, attempting to pull Ripple back into the courts and potentially suppress XRP.
During the interview, Garlinghouse would discuss the company’s issues with the SEC, and potential steps forward now that Donald Trump’s pro-crypto administration is about to take over the White House.

Ripple’s Influence in Politics
The teaser video shared by 60 Minutes highlights Ripple’s growing influence in U.S. politics. This is a major reason Ripple is getting featured on 60 Minutes. 85% of candidates for U.S. Congress supported by Ripple won their elections. This incredible feat shows that the voices of the crypto community matter in U.S. politics.
This could be a major talking point during the interview, along with broader issues within the cryptocurrency sector, including the ongoing regulatory debate in the United States. Garlinghouse has been vocal about the need for clear and consistent guidelines to support innovation while protecting consumers.
60 Minutes is the longest-running investigative news show in the U.S. This well-respected platform will give Garlinghouse a chance to tell Ripple’s side of the story to a broad audience and act as a voice for the crypto market in America.
