How many more "next sessions" do we have to wait through?

Lame duck is the window. 💪

Tell your Senator to pass the Clarity Act:

“Crypto voters will remember who stepped up and who didn’t.”

Could Not Agree More!

Will @brian_armstrong and Fairshake step up and support pro-innovation candidate @JohnEDeaton1 over No on GENIUS, No on CLARITY Ed Markey?

We need to raise $5 million THIS WEEK to fund get out the vote efforts.

Brian, we need your help.
Here is the SuperPAC supporting @DeatonforSenate. 👇

Don’t forget - Ripple and XRP stand on settled ground. The 2023 federal Court ruling established XRP is not a security.

And in March the SEC and CFTC issued a joint interpretation naming XRP a digital commodity. SEC Chairman Atkins and a CFTC Chairman Selig understand these markets. We expect future rulemaking from both agencies to continue to set out clear rules of the road.

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

1/ This one stings. Our team gave everything we had to get the Clarity Act across the finish line. So did most of the industry. This was an opportunity bigger than Ripple or one company - we did this for the industry, for consumers and to cement the US’s position as the crypto capital of the world and as a leader in the future of finance. Ultimately, consumers and U.S. competitiveness got left behind.

2/ A post mortem needs to be done on why this failed (more from me on that in the days ahead). The politics of the democrats (the anti-crypto army) was elevated over good policy.

3/ There is still reason for optimism for crypto in the United States. Now, the SEC, under Chair Atkins, and the CFTC, under Chair Selig, will continue to work hard to issue rules to fill the legislative gap and we will continue to be actively engaged in that rule making process.

4/ Ripple's business has never been stronger — real demand across traditional finance and the digital asset ecosystem. A missed vote in Washington doesn't change our momentum, our global footprint, or our customers.

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

This bill isn't just a compromise…it's the product of real, substantive trades policymakers made to get here.
I said this many months ago: perfect can't be the enemy of good…
and let's be clear: those trades weren't small. This isn't a deal Senators should be ‘settling for’ — it's a deal that they should stand behind.

Senate: the world is watching and voters are watching. Now is the time to vote yes.

[CryptoLaw @CryptoLawUS]

Big day tomorrow. Clarity moves forward or it dies.

Banks are loud. But we fight louder and harder.

While you're at it, remind your Senator: you'll remember their vote come reelection.

67 million Americans own crypto. Big banks are threatened by that because of their own self-interest.

Get loud. Let's get Clarity passed. Don't let the big banks win.

⌛️5 days until Clarity's cloture vote. Without clear rules, consumers lose and the banks win. Your voice matters most right now. Contact your Senator. Tell them: pass the Clarity Act.

🚨Call & flood letters. 60/100 senators must vote yes for Clarity to move forward.

ICYMI: The banks are lobbying hard. Your senators need to hear from consumers, not corporations.

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

No August doldrums in DC this week! It was great to join the inaugural @CFTC Innovation Advisory Committee (a group I've called "the Olympic roster of crypto.") But for a “crypto” gathering, there were a LOT of TradFi players in the room like @NASDAQ, @CMEGroup, @CBOE, @OptionsClearing, @NYSE, @The_DTCC (alphabet soup!)

Everyone was in agreement. Rules written for a different era aren’t good enough. Not for consumers. Not for business. Not for innovation.

I made this case in an open letter to Congress back in 2019. Seven years later, we STILL need clear rules…. Thanks to the Trump administration, appointees like @ChairmanSelig, and a myriad of bold leaders in Congress, we’ve never been closer.

Find your Senator's official website and check their home event schedule. Contact their office if the schedule isn't published. The Big Banks have money but we have voters.

🚨Cloture vote on Clarity scheduled for September 15.

60 votes to clear cloture. A no vote kills Clarity.

Crypto voters will remember every name.

[Eleanor Terrett @EleanorTerrett]

There’s a cloture vote on the calendar now for the Clarity Act, but as I said yesterday, there are still big kinks left to iron out.

[CryptoLaw @CryptoLawUS]

Banks are flooding the press - the WSJ op-ed is just the latest. We need to be louder than ever. Final stretch. Critical moment for Clarity. Don't let them win.

Final push for Clarity!!!

Missouri, Arizona, Maryland, Nevada - we need you to contact your Senator.

Pass the Clarity Act. For consumer protection. For innovation. For the future of American leadership.

[CryptoLaw @CryptoLawUS]

The crypto community is tired of being ignored.

@HawleyMO cares more about banks than the millions of Americans who own crypto - the people he's supposed to represent.

We want Clarity. Flood his office. Send messages. Call. All hands on deck.
