The Committee has been a leader in highlighting issues related to cryptocurrency and financial technology:

Community Reaction: Where is Brad Garlinghouse Ripple (XRP) this is disappointing that the most compliant abs transparent US based Cryptocurrency is not represented.
No Ripple? What a joke. Don’t think they’ll be involved in innovating the future of finance? Sad.
“Due to COVID-19, all markups and hearings will be in hybrid format. Members and witnesses may participate remotely via Cisco WebEx or participate in-person in room 2128 Rayburn House Office Building.”
Covid is not the reason why Brad was not called.
Why is Ripple not invited? Maybe they were invited but due to ongoing legal case they refused or couldn’t participate who knows?
I can just see certain CEOs are trying to bash other crypto instead of standing together. Crypto Committee hearing without the multibillion Dollar Blockchain Decacorn and Global Player Ripple (XRP)
The Ones that William be Testifying William be the ones who paid the entry fee.
Ok. So, this is basically a meeting to learn more about stable coins. *Noted.*
So many XRP fans roughed up realizing Stellar is a better protocol. Who will be translating to these dinosaurs.
Why not invite Ripple? Politicians ruin everything they are involved with.
Other than Sam there is no single big player in this list. Seriously, term limits can’t be here any sooner.
