Ripple Seeks Clarity Amid US Crypto Regulatory Push

Ripple is intensifying its push to expand the XRP ecosystem as US lawmakers move closer to shaping a comprehensive digital asset rulebook.

The CLARITY Act, currently being debated in Congress, aims to draw clearer lines between digital assets treated as 'securities' and those treated as 'commodities,' with the aim of defining which federal agency has primary oversight.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse argued that JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon is doing a 'disservice' to the public discussion around crypto regulation, suggesting that high-profile criticism risks skewing lawmakers' understanding at a pivotal moment for legislation.

Garlinghouse has repeatedly argued that a more explicit framework would lower XRP's 'risk premium,' improve access for institutions, and make it easier for US market participants to engage with XRP-linked products and services.
