Speaking at a digital asset event in Kansas City, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said that while he supports the CLARITY Act, its fate won’t determine crypto’s future. “When you have a technology that’s better, faster, stronger, that usually wins,” he said, arguing existing financial infrastructure simply hasn’t kept pace. Garlinghouse also called it “ridiculous” that so many other G20 countries already have crypto regulatory frameworks in place, questioning why the US would risk ceding leadership in the technology to other nations.
