Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said he believes the U.S. “Clarity Act” is close to passage, pointing to rising frustration among stakeholders and a recent compromise in Washington. Speaking to Semafor on Monday, Garlinghouse said he remains optimistic the bill will move forward, though he is “less confident than before.”
Garlinghouse said that, in his view, the timing of negotiations often changes when frustration reaches a high point. “Some of the smartest people and Washington insiders that I know have said to me when people are at their peak frustration, that’s when they finally compromise and it gets done,” he said. “I think we’re there.”
He also described a joint statement from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) two weeks ago as “truly groundbreaking,” saying it marked the end of an era of “lawfare” against the industry.

I think it’s bad policy, it’s also bad politics,” he said. He added that, ahead of the midterms, being “anti-crypto” has not translated into electoral support.

Options activity also accelerated, with options volume up 87.95% to $7.25 million and options open interest rising 12.95%.
Liquidation data was mixed across timeframes. The 24-hour liquidation figures showed $534,000 in shorts liquidated versus $1.59 million in longs. However, the 1-hour data showed $0 in short liquidations, suggesting the squeeze referenced in the article had not started yet.

Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
