Major industry players gathered

Ripple was joined by other major players in the digital asset space, including leading cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, venture capital giant a16z (Andreessen Horowitz), blockchain oracle provider Chainlink, and investment firm Paradigm. These companies have significant influence in all areas of the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

This meeting will also welcome important regulatory figures. Paul Atkins, current chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and Michael Selig, chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), are expected to participate in the discussions.

Ripple, Coinbase, a16z, Chainlink and Paradigm will gather at the White House with top U.S. regulators, including SEC Chairman Paul Atkins and CFTC Chairman Michael Selig, to discuss digital asset policy.

The White House's Continued Engagement

This is not the first time Ripple or its top leaders have participated in a White House event on digital assets. In early 2025, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse attended the White House Digital Assets Summit, which marked the first time the administration has held a president-level meeting on cryptocurrency policy. The summit brought together a small group of executives, including Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev, and MicroStrategy executive chairman Michael Saylor.

In July this year, during the signing of the GENIUS Act, Ripple also sent representatives to the White House meeting. The bill focuses on stablecoin regulation, further highlighting Ripple's positive role in shaping industry policy at the highest level.

According to recent industry reports, earlier this year, Ripple also attended another important White House digital assets summit.

Lobbying efforts and legislative discussions

Despite brief tensions over the lobbying process last year, Ripple has maintained contact with the White House. The friction stems from Ballard Partners, one of Ripple's lobbying firms, bypassing specific access requirements, but the company was not excluded from future activities.

In recent months, the White House has made digital asset legislation a priority, including the CLARITY Act. The bill has received continued government support but failed to reach a final vote in the Senate before it adjourned in August. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has now scheduled a procedural vote for September 15.

CLARITY Act| Awaiting for Senate procedural vote| September 15

GENIUS Bill| Signed (Focus on stablecoins)| In July

In July, White House cryptocurrency adviser Patrick Witt responded to Thun's more pessimistic views and reiterated the government's commitment to advancing digital asset reform. According to reports, Vitter and other senior officials have played an active role in ongoing negotiations with Republican senators to try to reach consensus on controversial provisions of the bill.

White House adviser Patrick Vitter and senior officials have approached Republican senators to agree on the most controversial provisions of the digital assets bill.
