Heard from people on the ground at XRP Australia that Brad did not specify who apologized ( this is also clear from the video ), So it's not accurate to say it was Gensler.

Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple (XRP), the three largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, are consolidating near key technical levels on Friday following the latest wave of volatility.#DeepCreationCamp

A recent analysis report released by Bullrunners has reignited the debate between Bitcoin and XRP, focusing on the significant energy consumption differences between the two. The report states that the entire XRP network consumes approximately $73,000 worth of electricity annually, while the Bitcoin network consumes over $10 billion worth of electricity each year. The energy used for each Bitcoin transaction is equivalent to the electricity consumption of a U.S. household for more than a month, whereas each XRP transaction has extremely low energy consumption. This disparity stems from Bitcoin's energy-intensive Proof of Work (PoW) mining mechanism and XRP's efficient consensus protocol. The findings have sparked intense discussions within the community about the relationship between security, sustainability, and decentralization.
