In a new interview, Ripple\u2019s chief marketing strategist Cory Johnson says Ripple has discussed XRP with the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

In response to a question about the administration\u2019s take on Ripple, Johnson told\u00a0Breaker<\/a>\u00a0the White House is doing an impressive amount of research on crypto at large.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s clearly a lot of homework going on. The White House in particular seems to be thinking about what it means to have 80 percent of bitcoin mining taking place in China and a majority of Ether mining taking place in China.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When you look at XRP, there is no mining, so from a foreign-control aspect or from an environmental aspect, XRP is a very different beast. And in conversations we\u2019ve had with the administration, they seem to get that and think that might matter.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

As for Ripple\u2019s contacts in the administration and how high up discussions have climbed, Johnson declined to reveal exactly which officials the company has engaged with.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m Episcopalian, and the joke is we don\u2019t talk about God or money, but we have lots of both. So we haven\u2019t said who we\u2019ve talked to.<\/em><\/p>\n

But we\u2019re in regular talks throughout Washington, and we meet with regulators as well as politicians. We\u2019ve got a whole team that\u2019s devoted to doing that, not just in the US, but worldwide. Our regulatory team, they jump on planes like their pants are on fire.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

As for whether the US Securities and Exchange Commission will decide to classify XRP as a security, Johnson says judgement day may never come at all.\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the question I get all the time is \u2018When is the SEC going to say something about XRP?\u2019 And I think it\u2019s possible the answer is never.<\/em><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know that the SEC wants to be in a position to have to comment on every single cryptocurrency or digital asset created and issue a ruling about it. I don\u2019t know if they like what they did with bitcoin and Ether. I would guess that an administrative agency doesn\u2019t want to take on regulating an entirely new part of the world when no one\u2019s asked them to do it, and no one\u2019s going to raise their budget for doing it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
