Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has made a high-profile appearance alongside U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent at the company's Swell 2026 conference in New York City, attracting considerable attention from the XRP community. Bessent was reportedly added to Swell's speaker lineup shortly before the event. Bessent has emerged as one of the Trump administration's most vocal supporters of establishing a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets. He has repeatedly urged Congress to advance the CLARITY Act, arguing that clearer rules would help the United States maintain its competitive position in the rapidly developing cryptocurrency industry.
