Ripple’s CLARITY Truck Hits Washington as Congress Weighs Crypto Rules

Ripple Takes CLARITY Act Campaign to Washington, D.C., as Senate Vote Pressure Builds

Ripple put its CLARITY Act message on wheels June 25, sending a branded truck through Washington, D.C., as Congress continued work on digital asset market rules. The campaign put the company’s policy argument before lawmakers, staff, and industry advocates as they watched the Senate’s next move.

Lauren Belive, Ripple’s global co-head of public policy and government, promoted the effort on X. “On the road to clarity – literally!” she wrote. “Ripple’s Clarity truck is out in D.C. as Congress works on the Clarity Act, which creates clear rules for digital assets and crypto. Clear rules help protect consumers, support responsible innovation, and keep the U.S. competitive.”

Ripple separately stated on X:

“Ripple is on the road to clarity! Our Clarity truck is on the move in D.C. as Congress continues work on transparent rules of the road for digital assets.”

Executives across the digital asset industry are backing the Clarity Act, with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse saying the company supports the measure and calling it a pivotal moment for establishing clear, workable rules for crypto markets in the United States.

More than 200 organizations, including Coinbase, Ripple, Kraken, Circle, Binance.US, Uniswap Labs, Paradigm, Andreessen Horowitz, and Stand With Crypto chapters, also urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer to bring the bill to the Senate floor for a vote. Supporters described the CLARITY Act as a framework for oversight, registration paths, software developer protections, and expanded digital asset activity inside regulated U.S. markets.

Senate Calendar, Galaxy Odds, and Grayscale Warning Frame Market Stakes

Prospects for the Clarity Act remain uncertain. Galaxy Research has lowered its 2026 passage estimate for the bill to 50-50 from 60% on June 5, citing no Senate floor date, no motion to proceed, and no unified Banking-Agriculture Committee text.

Ripple stressed:

“The message is simple: the Clarity Act will protect consumers, support responsible innovation, and keep the U.S. competitive.”

The Senate Banking Committee advanced H.R. 3633 in a bipartisan 15-9 vote, placing the bill on the Senate calendar. The measure still needs 60 Senate votes, coordination with Agriculture Committee work, potential House-Senate reconciliation, and President Donald Trump’s signature.

Grayscale Research warned that a failed bill could add pressure to bitcoin and digital asset treasury firms. Its head of research listed CLARITY Act failure, further deleveraging among DATs, and tighter Federal Reserve policy as downside risks.

Polling cited by Stand With Crypto found nearly three-quarters of surveyed crypto owners in Senate battleground states favored candidates supporting clearer cryptocurrency rules. The group also said more than one-third used digital assets for personal transfers, while 21% used them for monthly expenses.
