Ripple CEO Calls for Crypto Market Structure Legislation Once Again: Don’t Let Perfect Be the Enemy of Progress

2 hours ago

**Ripple CEO Urges Coordinated Action on Crypto Market Structure Bill** On January 21, Ripple chief executive Brad Garlinghouse again called for coordinated action on a crypto market structure bill in a post on X. He argued the quest for "perfect legislation" should not block achievable regulatory progress—adding no law in history has ever met everyone’s standards. "The top priority now is a clear regulatory framework to unlock innovation potential—and that’s exactly what this bill aims to do," he noted. Compared to confusion from regulatory uncertainty, "clarity over chaos"—even if not universally agreed upon—will support the industry’s long-term growth and create a stable environment for crypto innovation.
