<b>Crypto Market Clarity Act: Ripple CEO Weighs In on Legislative Progress</b>

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has expressed his views on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, a proposed legislation that seeks to establish clarity in the crypto market structure. In an interview at Consensus 2026 in Miami, he stated that while the bill is not a 'done deal,' its passage is still likely.

The Senate's progress on the bill has been closely watched by Garlinghouse and his team. He emphasized that the next two weeks will be pivotal for the legislation's chances, as the scheduling of the Senate Banking Committee hearing to 'mark up' the bill and advance it to the next stage is crucial.

One of the major sticking points in the negotiations has been the stablecoin yield, but senators have recently revealed a compromise language that addresses this issue. While some critics argue that the deal falls short, Garlinghouse believes that clarity is better than chaos.
