The stalling of the digital asset market clarity act due to coinbase's withdrawal creates regulatory uncertainty for the broader crypto market, particularly for tokens frequently subject to sec scrutiny. while ripple's ceo remains optimistic, the immediate lack of consensus among industry giants delays much-needed clarity.
The information comes directly from statements made by ripple ceo brad garlinghouse and coinbase ceo brian armstrong, reported by a reputable crypto news outlet, u.today.
The disagreement over the us regulatory bill adds an element of uncertainty. while a clear regulatory framework is generally bullish, its delay means the market remains in limbo. for xrp, ripple's continued engagement might somewhat buffer negative sentiment, but the broader market might react with caution due to the ongoing regulatory ambiguity in the us.
Regulatory clarity is a long-term driver for institutional adoption and market stability. the current setback means the market will continue to operate under a cloud of regulatory uncertainty for an extended period until a new or revised bill can gain industry and legislative support.
