Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse spoke for the first time after attending a crypto meeting at the White House earlier this week and joining the CFTC\u2019s Innovation Advisory Committee, which he calls \u201cthe Olympic rules of crypto.\u201d<\/p>\n
He noted that even though there were numerous participants from the traditional finance world, the conclusion was unanimous \u2013 old rules do not work under the current market environment.<\/p>\n
Aside from the big price moves over the past week, the other notable development, which might have actually influenced the market revival, was the gathering at the White House organized by the Trump administration. The POTUS met<\/a> with executives from Coinbase, Ripple, Gemini, and other big crypto companies, as well as the chairmen of the SEC and CFTC.<\/p>\n Perhaps the most important part of the agenda was the highly anticipated CLARITY Act. Policymakers continue to fight over the key legislation, which has failed to garner support from Democrats. As reported, Trump called on Congress to pass a \u201cfair version\u201d of the bill as it would help keep the US in front of China.<\/p>\n The legislation passed the House of Reps in July 2025 but stalled in the Senate over issues such as ethics provisions, stablecoin rewards, and tokenized equities. Garlinghouse said after the event that it was \u201cgreat to be back at the White House\u201d alongside Trump, CFTC\u2019s Mike Selig, and SEC\u2019s Paul Atkins.<\/p>\n He said that the big picture is clear since 1 in 4 Americans own digital assets: crypto \u201cisn\u2019t a fringe industry. And Washington, DC, knows the crypto voter is alive and well.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis President\u2019s incredible commitment to innovation and leadership around digital assets in the US has been profound. The future is bright,\u201d his post concluded<\/a>.<\/p>\n Garlinghouse also spoke after the CFTC meeting, noting<\/a> that all parties involved, including those from the TradFi world, believe the current written regulatory rules represent a different era and \u201caren\u2019t good enough\u201d for the current one. It\u2019s not enough for business, nor for innovation, he added.<\/p>\n He referred to an old open letter he wrote<\/a> in 2019 in which he urged the US authorities to create clearer rules for crypto. Seven years later, the industry is still waiting. On the plus side, he believes the Trump administration, alongside some appointees like Selig, and a \u201cmyriad of bold leaders in Congress,\u201d are finally on the right track as the industry has \u201cnever been closer\u201d to such rules.<\/p>\n The post Ripple CEO Speaks Out After White House and CFTC Meetings: Here\u2019s What He Said<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse spoke for the first time after attending a crypto meeting at the White House earlier this week and joining the CFTC\u2019s Innovation Advisory Committee, which he calls \u201cthe Olympic rules of crypto.\u201d He noted that even though there were numerous participants from the traditional finance world, the conclusion was unanimous \u2013 […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-216838","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-discovery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216838"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=216838"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216838\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=216838"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=216838"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=216838"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}After the CFTC Event<\/h2>\n
