CEO Brad Garlinghouse praised lawmakers for advancing the proposal and framed the legislation as a major moment for U.S. <span>crypto<\/span> policy. Ripple\u2019s support focused on regulatory clarity, investor protections, and maintaining American leadership in digital assets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Senate Banking Committee is putting in the work as it moves the Clarity Act forward\u2026 incredible leadership! Millions of Americans are already in this market,\u201d Garlinghouse wrote on X, adding:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cRipple stands behind this bill because they deserve the same rules and protections as every other asset class. If the largest economy in the world is going to lead on <span>crypto<\/span> \u2013 and it must \u2013 this is the moment. Let\u2019s get it done!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Stuart Alderoty, chief legal officer at Ripple and president of the National <span>Crypto<\/span> Association, also voiced support on X.

Alderoty described holders as construction workers, retirees, small business owners, and parents across every income level, industry, and state. He stated: \u201cThey deserve clear rules. They deserve strong consumer protections. And they deserve a regulatory framework that allows responsible innovations to grow here in the United States. The Clarity Act markup tomorrow is a meaningful step forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Senate CLARITY Act Draws Broad Industry Support<\/h2>\n<p>Industry and policy voices also backed the CLARITY Act on May 13, as supportive comments spread across social media ahead of the markup.
