Ripple CEO Says Crypto Bill Nears Completion, Expects CLARITY Act in April
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said the crypto market bill is now very close to being finalized following additional discussions between banks and crypto companies, and he identified April as the most likely timeframe for passage of the CLARITY Act. Garlinghouse described the talks as final negotiations to resolve outstanding points that have held up consensus on federal rules for digital assets.
Passage of the CLARITY Act in April would signal major progress toward federal regulatory clarity, with potential consequences for XRP, exchanges, and institutional adoption. Clearer rules could reduce litigation risk and smooth bank relationships, but final language and last-minute amendments still matter. Market participants should watch the bill text and implementation timeline closely, since those details will determine how quickly the anticipated benefits materialize.
