US Eyes Global Crypto Hub Status as Ripple's Garlinghouse Sees Opportunities

The US aims to become the global hub for cryptocurrency, according to Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse.

This optimism comes after a White House meeting with major crypto firms and regulators, including Coinbase, Robinhood, Nasdaq, and others, alongside SEC and CFTC chairmen.

The Trump administration's goal is to promote crypto innovation domestically, and Garlinghouse urged policymakers to finalize regulations, particularly the CLARITY Act, which faces a tight schedule in Congress and may extend into the post-election lame duck session.
