Ripple CEO Hails Landmark Crypto Regulation Initiative in Washington

Crypto Clarity in Washington: Ripple CEO Applauds Unified Push for Regulatory Reform

Editorial Team (ET)July 15, 2025

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has welcomed the latest push for clear crypto regulations in the U.S., calling it a game-changing moment for the industry. His reaction comes after David Sacks, the newly appointed Crypto Czar, led a high-profile press conference on Capitol Hill alongside key congressional leaders to outline a comprehensive plan for regulating digital assets like Bitcoin and XRP.

A Unified Front for Crypto Legislation

Garlinghouse’s optimism stems from a rare display of unity among U.S. lawmakers. The Chairs of the Senate Banking, House Financial Services, Senate Agriculture, and House Agriculture Committees have all thrown their weight behind the effort to establish regulatory clarity for cryptocurrencies. This level of bipartisan collaboration is almost unprecedented in the industry, signaling that Washington is finally taking digital assets seriously.

“Having the Chair of Senate Banking, the Chair of House Financial Services, the Chair of Senate Ag, and the Chair of House Ag join the Crypto Czar to commit to passing legislation for crypto clarity is 100% a big deal (and something we haven’t seen before),” Garlinghouse stated in a post on X.

Bitcoin Strategic Reserve: A New Era for Digital Assets?

One of the biggest takeaways from the conference was the discussion surrounding a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, a concept that was repeatedly mentioned by former President Donald Trump during his campaign. While the reserve plan seems like a significant endorsement for Bitcoin, Sacks’ careful wording raised eyebrows. Instead of exclusively mentioning Bitcoin, he consistently used the broader term "digital assets", prompting speculation that the reserve could include other cryptocurrencies like XRP.

Stablecoins and the Strength of the U.S. Dollar

Sacks also addressed the role of stablecoins in modernizing the financial system. He argued that stablecoins, when properly regulated, could strengthen the U.S. dollar, stabilize global finance, and even lower long-term interest rates. By tying digital assets to the dollar and increasing demand for U.S. government bonds, stablecoins could provide a much-needed boost to the American economy.

Regulatory Clarity vs. SEC’s Hostile Approach

Another critical point raised during the press conference was the lack of clear regulations from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Sacks directly criticized the SEC’s aggressive enforcement tactics, arguing that its unclear stance on crypto has forced many businesses to relocate to friendlier jurisdictions. He specifically referenced the collapse of FTX in the Bahamas, suggesting that if the U.S. had a well-defined regulatory framework, such disasters could have been avoided.

"Crypto businesses need clear rules, not endless lawsuits," Sacks said, emphasizing the importance of regulatory clarity in preventing another industry meltdown.

A Turning Point for Crypto in the U.S.?

With lawmakers and industry leaders finally working together, Garlinghouse believes that the U.S. is on the cusp of a regulatory breakthrough. For years, the crypto industry has struggled with uncertainty, facing conflicting regulations and legal battles with the SEC. Now, with a clear path toward legislative action, the future looks more promising than ever.

The momentum generated by this initiative could be a defining moment for crypto in the U.S., opening the door for mainstream adoption, institutional investments, and a thriving digital asset economy.
