Garlinghouse Says US Crypto Capital Goal Within Reach as CLARITY Act Looms

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has renewed his call for U.S. crypto leadership, stating that America's goal to become the world's leading digital asset capital is within reach.

This message comes as the CLARITY Act approaches a Senate procedural vote on federal crypto market structure legislation. The bill, which would establish a federal market structure for digital assets, has been stalled in Congress.

Garlinghouse made his statement after attending a White House meeting with industry executives and federal regulators. During the meeting, CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig credited President Trump's leadership with bringing leading innovators into the White House and ensuring that the new frontier of finance is built on American soil.
