Regulatory clarity is shaping up as the next big milestone for crypto, and Ripple is front and center. Stablecoin reward programs—long a gray area in U.S. law—are now seeing real progress thanks to high-level talks between banks and crypto innovators.
Eleanor Terrett reported that a focused follow-up White House meeting on stablecoin yields gathered top executives from banks, crypto firms, and trade associations. While no final deal was reached, insiders described the session as “productive.” Ripple Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty summed up the mood: “Compromise is in the air.”
The discussion tackled practical questions about what activities crypto firms can legally offer to users. This is key for platforms like Ripple, which rely on flexible stablecoin programs to expand their services.
One standout moment: banks signaled willingness to consider exemptions for transaction-based rewards—a stance they previously rejected. This marks a shift toward regulated experimentation, opening the door for innovative crypto solutions within traditional frameworks.
Defining “permissible activities” also sparked debate. Crypto leaders advocated for broad interpretations to fuel innovation, while banks pushed for narrower definitions to control risk. The dialogue shows both sides are searching for a middle ground—a positive sign for Ripple and the wider XRP ecosystem.
The session, led by Patrick Witt of the President’s Crypto Council, included Senate Banking Committee staff and top crypto representatives such as Alderoty (Ripple), Paul Grewal (Coinbase), Miles Jennings (a16z), Josh Rosner (Paxos), and Summer Mersinger (Blockchain Association).
Banks sent heavy hitters too, including Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Bank of America, Citi, and Wells Fargo, alongside trade associations like ABA Bankers and ICBA. The smaller format allowed for sharper, technical discussions on legal, operational, and regulatory nuances.
More talks are expected before the March 1 White House deadline. Ripple’s active participation signals confidence that a balanced framework—one that fosters innovation while staying compliant—is achievable.
For the XRP Army, this is bullish news. As banks show openness and regulators engage constructively, Ripple’s stablecoin initiatives gain legitimacy and momentum. The message is clear: dialogue, compromise, and collaboration are paving the way for a stronger, more integrated crypto ecosystem.
