Regulatory Clarity on the Horizon: Ripple CEO Predicts 90% Chance of Clarity Act Passage

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has made headlines with his prediction that the Clarity Act will pass Congress with a 90% probability by April 2026.

The Clarity Act aims to provide regulatory clarity for digital assets, defining which ones fall under SEC and CFTC oversight. This would bring an end to the years of regulatory limbo that has hindered innovation and institutional investment in the crypto market.

Garlinghouse's prediction is based on recent White House meetings between crypto and banking leaders, which have led to progress on the stablecoin yield drama that had been blocking the bill. The White House set a deadline of March 1 for negotiations to move forward.
