Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple Labs, is traveling to Washington D.C., aiming to push for favorable regulations for the cryptocurrency industry, particularly regarding stablecoins. In a recent X post, he expressed optimism that policymakers will view crypto as a dynamic and rapidly expanding sector, while highlighting his disappointment over Senator Lummis’ cancellation of their previously scheduled meeting. Garlinghouse believes Senator Lummis, representing a state with strong crypto-friendly regulations, has the opportunity to take the lead on this issue. He urged her to engage in public discussions through a live event or X Spaces if their paths cross. Garlinghouse emphasized his commitment to supporting legislation that fosters innovation and maintains U.S. leadership in crypto markets. The canceled meeting raises concerns about Congressional willingness to collaborate with industry leaders for regulatory improvements, as it has drawn attention to the tension surrounding cryptocurrency policy.
