The U.S. Clarity Act has prompted varied reactions within the cryptocurrency sector. Coinbase recently withdrew its support for the bill. Reports indicate the White House has threatened to withdraw its backing if industry consensus is not achieved.

Despite the tension, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has taken a cooperative approach. He emphasizes securing regulatory clarity even if the bill is not perfect.

Garlinghouse argues that establishing workable rules now provides a foundation for further improvements. His stance prioritizes engagement with lawmakers over outright opposition.

Charles Hoskinson Calls Out Ripple CEO

In contrast, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has voiced strong criticism of those willing to accept the bill in its current form.

Hoskinson claimed that the bill was written by Elizabeth Warren. While this is unverified, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong shares Hoskinson’s sentiment. When withdrawing support, Armstrong described the bill as “materially worse than the status quo.”

A Call for Collaboration

Hoskinson further criticized Garlinghouse’s approach, asking, “That’s better? That’s what we fought for?” As the CEO of the company that was involved in the longest legal battle with the SEC, many would assume Garlinghouse would take a more critical stance toward the bill. However, Garlinghouse has always taken a more inclusive approach to cryptocurrency adoption and regulation.

Engagement with the legislative process allows the crypto industry to influence provisions and create a workable framework. This approach aligns with Garlinghouse’s stance, advocating active participation over withdrawal.

Securing Clarity Through Engagement

The crypto industry already took a major step forward with the Genius Act in 2025. Engaging now could prevent prolonged uncertainty and support continued innovation. Input from major players, including Coinbase, Ripple, and other stakeholders, can determine whether the legislation advances or faces delays.
