Ripple CEO Sees Momentum Shift in Clarity Act's Senate Progress

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse spoke at Consensus 2026 in Miami, highlighting a recent surge in momentum for the Clarity Act in the Senate.

The legislation has secured backing from major crypto trade groups, but also faces opposition from banking associations who argue the bill introduces systemic risk to traditional financial institutions.

Garlinghouse emphasized the importance of regulatory clarity for institutions, citing a Ripple survey that found 72% of institutional respondents consider digital assets essential to their operations.
