Ripple CEO Urges Persistence on Crypto Market Structure Bill

Published at 2026-01-16 16:30:18

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse on Jan. 16 urged the crypto sector to keep pushing for a high‑stakes market structure bill, warning stakeholders, "We shouldn’t give up—we’re so close." His remarks signal renewed lobbying pressure as firms seek clearer rules that could affect trading, custody and oversight across the industry.

The bill’s passage could materially influence XRP’s trading environment and broader market confidence by establishing standards many say are needed for greater institutional participation. Garlinghouse portrayed persistence as essential to avoid prolonged uncertainty; for investors and exchanges, the outcome will likely affect listings, liquidity and compliance pathways in the months ahead.
