Ripple's Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty challenges the stereotype that cryptocurrency ownership is limited to 'crypto boys,' highlighting that 67 million Americans, including a significant proportion of women and those over 55, now hold digital assets. Meanwhile, the U.S. Senate has delayed a vote on the CLARITY Act, a key piece of crypto regulatory legislation, pushing the odds of it passing this year to as low as 14%.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Crypto regulatory debates in the US are no longer niche; you need to recognise that crypto users now reflect broad demographics and political challenges are delaying key legislation. Position your compliance and market entry strategies to account for a slower regulatory timeline and wider user base.
