Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has lauded Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse for his significant contributions to the advancement of the CLARITY Act in Washington, D.C. Hoskinson highlighted Garlinghouse's dedication, describing him as the industry's most diligent leader, actively engaging with lawmakers to promote the bill. The CLARITY Act seeks to provide clear regulatory definitions for digital assets, assigning oversight to the SEC and CFTC. Garlinghouse's advocacy for crypto regulation follows Ripple's prolonged legal battle with the SEC. His efforts have been instrumental in recent legislative progress, including the first U.S. stablecoin regulation enacted in June. Lawmakers are currently working to integrate the CLARITY Act with the House-approved Crypto Market Structure bill, with potential votes anticipated early next month, though a U.S. government shutdown could delay the bill's passage to 2026.
