He now expects the bill to pass by the end of May, a modest delay from his earlier forecast that pointed to passage by the end of April.<\/p>\n<p>The shift in timing is not trivial. It reflects how difficult the final stretch has been, especially as lawmakers, banks and crypto companies have wrestled over whether stablecoin issuers should be allowed to offer yield and how far the law should go in defining digital asset activity.<\/p>\n<h2>Ripple ties the bill to a broader financial transition<\/h2>\n<p>Garlinghouse also used the discussion to place Ripple\u2019s own strategy inside that wider policy shift. The company has continued building partnerships with financial institutions across multiple jurisdictions, with XRP and RLUSD positioned as tools that could help narrow the gap between traditional finance and crypto-based infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>That framing is familiar from Ripple, but it lands differently in the current context. If the CLARITY Act does move forward, it could give firms like Ripple a clearer legislative backdrop for products and partnerships that have often been developed in a more uncertain policy environment.<\/p>\n<p>For now, Garlinghouse is not claiming victory. But his tone was notably firmer than it had been just weeks ago, which suggests the conversation in Washington may be moving, finally, from stalemate toward actual legislative closure.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All news is rigorously fact-checked and reviewed by leading blockchain experts and seasoned industry insiders.
