So, Brad Garlinghouse, the big cheese ๐ง at Ripple, is thrilled to be testifying in front of the Senate Banking Committee. Who wouldn’t be? It’s like being called to the principal’s office, but with more suits and less detention ๐คฃ.
Garlinghouse is giving a big thank you to Senators Tim Scott, Ruben Gallego, and Cynthia Lummis for inviting him to the party ๐. This will be his first time testifying before the Senate Banking Committee, so let’s hope he doesn’t get stage fright ๐ญ.
He’s been calling for “constructive” crypto market structure legislation, which is just a fancy way of saying “make it easier for us to make money ๐ธ”. But hey, who doesn’t love a good get-rich-quick scheme? ๐ค
The Senate Banking Committee has got a busy week ahead of them, with the CLARITY Act, the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, and the GENIUS Act all on the docket ๐ . It’s like a crypto-themed game of “Legislative Bingo” ๐ฒ.
And of course, there’s been a ton of lobbying going on behind the scenes ๐คซ. Because what’s a good bill without a few million dollars in “donations” ๐ธ? Senator Tim Scott thinks the market structure bill could pass by October, but we’ll believe it when we see it ๐.
On July 9, the full Committee will be holding a hearing on developing digital asset markets ๐. And who’s on the guest list? Garlinghouse, Chainalysis CEO Jonathan Levin, Blockchain Association CEO Summer Mersinger, and some Harvard policy expert who’s probably just there for the free food ๐.
The hearing starts at 10:15 AM ET (14:15 UTC), and you can catch it live on the Senate Banking Committee’s website ๐บ. So grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the show ๐ฟ!
