When a clarity act passes, markets gain direction.
Clear regulatory frameworks reduce uncertainty for investors, developers, and institutions. For crypto and digital assets, clarity helps separate innovation from risk, encourages responsible growth, and builds long-term confidence. When rules are clear, adoption becomes easier and the ecosystem can mature sustainably.
đč Garlinghouse has expressed strong optimism that the CLARITY Act will be passed into law, estimating thereâs roughly an 80â90% chance it becomes law by the end of April 2026. His comments came from public remarks and interviews where he said current momentum in Washington and engagement from regulators give him confidence in the billâs progress.
đč He emphasized the need for clarity over chaos in crypto regulation, arguing that even though no legislation is perfect, having a clear legal framework is better for the industry than continuing with uncertainty and enforcement battles.
đč Garlinghouse also noted that Rippleâs own legal clarity (like court rulings on XRP not being a security) highlights the value of having clear laws, and that the CLARITY Act could bring similar legal certainty across the broader crypto sector.
In short, his stance is not negative; rather he believes a regulated framework â even imperfect â is better for growth, stability, and institutional engagement in crypto markets.
