Ripple makes a direct move ahead of a crucial Senate vote — here’s what’s at stake
With a decisive procedural vote on a specific cryptocurrency bill set for just days away, Ripple’s top lawyer doesn’t stop at meeting with lobbyists — he asks undecided Senate members to sit down with crypto holders from the general public.
What happened:
Ripple’s top legal officer, Stuart Alderoty, visited the offices of Senate members who are still undecided or oppose the CLARITY Act, urging them to hold a direct meeting with voters who hold digital assets. The immediate goal is a cloture vote on September 15 — not a final vote on the bill itself, but a procedural motion that only requires the approval of 60 senators to begin debate. Ripple cited industry-provided figures stating that the crypto sector supports more than 200,000 jobs and economic activities worth hundreds of billions of dollars, even though those figures came from an industry-funded study rather than independent government data.
Since the vote hinges on a small number of undecided senators, will direct outreach to them actually make a difference, when lobbyists’ money alone hasn’t succeeded?
