Brad Garlinghouse confirmed his long-term support for Bitcoin, stating he first bought it in 2012.
The SEC is ending its action against Ripple, marking the conclusion of a battle that began in December 2020.
Ripple' CEO, Brad Garlinghouse
Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple Labs, stated his position
on Bitcoin (BTC) during the Blockworks Digital Asset Summit in New York on
Wednesday (Yesterday). Speaking with Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsely, he said he first bought
Bitcoin in 2012 and remains optimistic about it.
Meanwhile, after a strong bullish session yesterday, BTCUSD
is undergoing a bearish correction on the H1 chart. Intraday buyers may look
for opportunities to enter long positions and drive the price higher.
Ripple CEO Supports Bitcoin, Holds BTC
“I am bullish on Bitcoin, period,” Garlinghouse said,
according to Bitcoin.com. He also confirmed that he holds BTC and has used it
for transactions but has not sold it.
Garlinghouse’s comments come amid ongoing criticism of XRP
within the Bitcoin community. Many argue that Ripple’s initial allocation of
80% of XRP’s supply concentrated control over the asset.

BTCUSD Consolidates, Buyers Watch Key Level
The BTCUSD H1 chart reveals that after finding strong
support around the 81,300 level, the price initiated a significant bullish
movement. During this rally, it successfully broke through several key
resistance levels, showcasing robust upward momentum.
Currently, the 85,400 level appears to be a crucial level
that could act as support moving forward. If the price forms a bullish reversal
pattern at this level, there is potential for buyers to drive the price further
north. However, if the price breaches this level, it could signal a shift,
prompting sellers to target short positions from the value areas.
Garlinghouse announced the conclusion of the case on X on
March 19, stating: “The SEC will drop its appeal—a significant development
for Ripple and the crypto industry.” In a video accompanying his post, he
confirmed: “I’m finally able to announce that the case has ended; it’s
over.”
Garlinghouse reflected on the outcome, saying: “We’re
now closing a chapter in crypto history,” and stressed the importance of
the US taking a leadership role in the crypto space, stating, “It’s time
to make the United States the crypto capital of the world.”

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
