This new leadership trio aims to move away from strict regulations that have been perceived as hindering the crypto industry. They advocate for a shift toward a more open environment, where innovation and economic growth can thrive.  

For the XRP community, this could mean a more favourable stance on cryptocurrency regulations, potentially easing restrictions and fostering a brighter future for crypto.
