Ripple CLO says CLARITY Act outcome would not change XRP regulatory clarity

Ripple Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty said XRP already has the kind of regulatory clarity that much of the crypto industry is still seeking, regardless of whether the U.S. Congress passes the CLARITY Act. His comments frame XRP as standing on firmer regulatory ground than many other digital assets. Alderoty said that certainty comes from two separate tracks. The first is the outcome of Ripple’s litigation with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. The second is guidance jointly issued by the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC, which he said confirmed XRP’s status. The remarks were carried by Techub News, citing CoinPedia. No additional details on the legislation or timing were provided in the source brief.

Ripple legal chief lobbies senators ahead of Sept. 15 CLARITY procedural vote

Ripple Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty is lobbying U.S. senators to help the CLARITY Act clear a procedural vote set for Sept. 15. According to figures cited by Ripple, 67 million people in the United States hold cryptocurrency, while the industry supports 232,000 jobs and generates $55 billion in economic activity. The bill is designed to create a federal regulatory framework for digital assets and would place oversight of digital commodity spot markets under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC. It needs at least 60 votes to open formal debate in the Senate. The update was reported by Odaily.

Ripple legal chief says Sept. 15 will be the key test for the Clarity Act

Ripple Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty said Sept. 15 will be a pivotal date for judging whether the U.S. crypto market structure bill known as the Clarity Act can keep moving through Congress. Speaking at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium 2026, Alderoty said the Senate is set to hold its first procedural motion on that date to decide whether to move into formal consideration of the bill. The motion will need 60 votes to clear the way for the legislation to advance. Alderoty, who also serves as president of the National Crypto Association, said the outcome will act as a signal for whether the Clarity Act still has a path forward in Congress. He added that even if market structure legislation stalls, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission have both said they will continue developing crypto regulations. In his view, the two agencies have recently shown closer coordination on digital asset oversight, which he described as a positive sign. Still, he said the industry would prefer congressional legislation because statutory law is more durable and harder to reverse than agency rulemaking alone.

Ripple executives say opposition to CLARITY Act would leave consumers exposed

Ripple executives argued that opposition to the CLARITY Act should not be framed as support for the crypto industry, but as a position that works against consumers. Lauren Belive, Ripple’s co-head of global public policy and government affairs, said the U.S. digital asset market already exists while federal consumer protections have failed to keep pace. She said the regulatory gap exposed by the collapse of FTX and the loss of customer funds still has not been closed. Belive said the CLARITY Act would give the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission clear shared jurisdiction over digital asset markets. She added that the bill would also require tokens to undergo regulatory oversight before entering the market. Ripple Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty, who also serves as president of the National Cryptocurrency Association, said opposing the CLARITY Act would preserve the current unregulated environment and leave room for bad actors to exploit it.
