Ripple chief confirms White House crypto talks
Ripple chief executive Brad Garlinghouse confirmed that the company’s chief legal officer attended a White House meeting between cryptocurrency and banking representatives to discuss a digital asset market structure bill under consideration in the US Senate.
Garlinghouse said Stuart Alderoty met with officials following a similar Feb. 10 session on the CLARITY Act, which passed the House in July but has stalled in the Senate amid disagreements over stablecoin yield provisions and broader regulatory scope.
The renewed talks come as lawmakers seek to resolve differences over whether exchanges and intermediaries can offer rewards on stablecoin holdings, an issue that has divided banks and crypto firms and delayed progress on the bill.
The legislation has faced multiple setbacks, including two government shutdowns in 2025, Democratic concerns about conflicts of interest, and lobbying for additional provisions covering decentralised finance, tokenised equities and stablecoin yield.
A day before the White House meeting, policymakers including Michael Selig and two US senators met industry representatives at an event hosted by World Liberty Financial, where Senator Bernie Moreno said he expected the CLARITY Act could be ready to be signed into law “by April.”

Jensen Huang's sudden resignation shrouded in suspicion: Did the White House secretly intervene? Is a return possible in the future?
Only a few days separated Jensen Huang’s strong support from the board last Sunday and his late-night resignation on Wednesday. Multiple reports of the Wednesday night Nvidia board meeting were co-authored by Washington-based journalists—who do not typically cover Nvidia—fueling rumors of "White House pressure and information leaks." Huang’s unique value lies in leveraging his personal reputation to secure the supply chain and drive the implementation of technological roadmaps, making him difficult to replace. Some analysts note that, drawing on examples such as Steve Jobs’ return to Apple, it is possible that Huang may come back in the future.
