Garlinghouse: Crypto Will Win Regardless of Clarity Act Outcome
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse is optimistic about the future of cryptocurrency despite challenges facing the Clarity Act, a landmark crypto market structure bill in the US Congress.
Garlinghouse believes that the industry will prevail regardless of whether the Clarity Act passes or fails. He cited the example of technology always winning out when it's better, faster, and stronger.
The Ripple CEO argued that the existing financial system has failed to keep pace with technological change, which is why he thinks cryptocurrency will ultimately succeed.
Garlinghouse also questioned why the US would risk losing its leadership position in the crypto market by not passing the Clarity Act. He urged senators to vote in favor of advancing the bill and avoid letting perfection be the enemy of progress.
