Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has expressed his enthusiasm for the future of cryptocurrency, citing a growing sense of optimism and hope for significant progress in the next few years.
In a recent speech at the XRP Australia 2026 hackathon, Garlinghouse highlighted the exponential impact that the collective efforts of thousands of crypto users and advocates are having on the legalization of cryptocurrency. He emphasized that it's not just a single individual or group driving this progress, but rather a grassroots movement that is slowly but surely flipping switches in favor of crypto.
Garlinghouse's comments come amidst growing anticipation for potential regulatory clarity in 2026. Banking giant JP Morgan has predicted that the passing of the Clarity Act could provide a significant boost to the market, with analysts suggesting that it will 'reshape the market' if passed.
