A New Policy Horizon
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has framed recent comments from President Donald Trump as a major turning point for the U.S. digital asset landscape. The rhetoric suggests a departure from the enforcement-heavy approach that defined the previous administration’s relationship with the sector.
«The ‘Anti-Crypto Army’ was defeated… by the courts… by the voters. And by Trump. It never made policy, legal or political sense,» Garlinghouse stated in a recent address.
The Path to Legislative Clarity
With the XRP legal battles largely behind them, the focus now shifts to the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. This proposed framework aims to replace the current ‘regulation by enforcement’ model with clear guidelines for both the SEC and the CFTC.
- Ending the reliance on litigation to define asset status.
- Integrating BTC and other assets into a national strategic framework.
- Improving institutional access to XRP payment infrastructure.
«Combatting financial innovation only helped protect those that wanted to keep an old, often broken, system in place,» added Garlinghouse.
