Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said the long-debated Clarity Act has a strong probability of passing by April, pointing to renewed engagement from US lawmakers and policymakers. The proposed legislation aims to define whether digital assets fall under securities law or Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) oversight.
According to Garlinghouse, clearer regulatory frameworks are increasingly sought by both crypto firms and traditional financial institutions, as prolonged uncertainty has weighed on innovation and market development. He noted that recent discussions in Washington suggest growing political momentum after months of stalled negotiations around digital asset policy.
The bill is viewed as a potential milestone for the US crypto sector, particularly as regulatory ambiguity continues to shape institutional adoption and investment strategies. Ripple, which has expanded through acquisitions in custody and treasury services since 2023, is reportedly prioritizing integration while monitoring regulatory developments that could reshape compliance and market structure.
