Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse emphasized the need for clear regulatory frameworks in the cryptocurrency industry during his testimony to the Senate Committee on Banking.
Ripple aims to create an 'Internet of Value' to facilitate seamless money transfers using its software solutions designed for cross-border payments and digital custody for financial institutions.
Garlinghouse outlined foundational principles for effective cryptocurrency legislation, calling for consumer protection, proper market oversight, regulation of bad actors, and fostering innovation.
Despite challenges, Ripple advocates for smart legislation to position the US as a leader in blockchain technology, aiming to unlock efficiencies in financial transactions and enhance competitiveness globally.
