Brad Garlinghouse on regulatory clarity
From Ripple CEO BRAD GARLINGHOUSE Interview with FOX Business News Liz Claman and Charles Gasparino - XRP · · XRP INSIGHT
“I think there has been and continues to be a lack of clarity. I think the points you're making about the statements the SEC has made about ether certainly is one example of that. But look, I think as you have reported, Charlie, that if we want this industry to thrive here in the United States, there needs to be clarity. And I don't think we can just continue to say, 'Hey, there is clarity,' as we've heard from SEC officials even more recently under Chair Gary Gensler's leadership, and yet we can't both say we need that there is clarity and also ask Congress to write new laws to make it clear. Like both those things can't exist.”

About Brad Garlinghouse
Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, has been active at industry events including Consensus 2026 and XRP Las Vegas, where he discussed the company's acquisition strategy, stablecoin market projections, and regulatory developments. He stated that he believes the stablecoin market cap will reach $3 trillion by 2031. Garlinghouse described Ripple's approach to acquisitions as "contrarian," saying the company focuses on bringing non-digital-asset-native companies onto the blockchain rather than acquiring other crypto firms. He also commented on the Clarity Act, saying he thought the chances of passage were around 80% and that if it does not get out of committee by the end of the third week of May, "we're in real trouble." Garlinghouse addressed several other topics during his appearances. He described layoffs attributed to artificial intelligence as a "travesty," arguing that AI should be viewed as an "unlock" for growth rather than a tool to reduce headcount. He called for an XRP boycott of the Sphere in Las Vegas, saying the venue declined to display XRP while agreeing to show Bitcoin and Ethereum. On XRP's legal status, he noted that a federal judge ruled XRP "in and of itself is not a security." He also said Ripple has not prioritized going public and that the company is pursuing a Federal Reserve master account, which he described as a potential "big unlock."
