Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple Labs, has admitted that the company made a significant error by not engaging with U.S. regulators early on. This oversight has led to legal challenges from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) concerning the cryptocurrency XRP. In an effort to rectify the situation, Ripple has committed $50 million to political donations and other initiatives to improve regulatory relations. Garlinghouse's statements were made during the DC Fintech Week, where discussions on the impact of blockchain and AI on the fintech industry were also held.
