Garlinghouse Says Making America Crypto Capital Is Within Reach

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse is calling on the US government to make America the world's crypto capital, saying that the goal is within reach. In a tweet, he noted that making America the crypto capital of the world is 'within reach - let's finish the job.'

The comments come as lawmakers prepare to vote in September on the CLARITY Act, which aims to create clearer US rules for crypto assets.

Garlinghouse attended a recent White House meeting with industry leaders, including Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and SEC Chairman Paul Atkins. The meeting discussed steps taken by the Trump administration to support crypto growth, including the GENIUS Act and the creation of a strategic Bitcoin reserve.
