Hoskinson Criticizes Ripple CEO Over US Crypto Bill Support
Key Points:
  • Hoskinson criticizes Garlinghouse over CLARITY Act support.
  • Pushback on SEC’s increased power.
  • Broader impacts on ADA, XRP, and DeFi protocols.

Charles Hoskinson criticized Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse for endorsing the CLARITY Act, which he labeled as flawed for expanding SEC authority. Garlinghouse views it as progress in establishing crypto regulations, despite potential risks.

Charles Hoskinson, Cardano’s founder, criticized Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse on January 18, 2026, during a livestream on X, addressing Garlinghouse’s support for the CLARITY Act discussed by the US Senate Banking Committee.

The event signifies ongoing debates over crypto regulation, impacting major industry players and raising concerns about increased SEC power and possible shifts in crypto oversight.

Charles Hoskinson expressed his disapproval of the draft legislation that he described as granting excessive power to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The act, poised to shape regulatory frameworks, impacts both the crypto industry and related markets significantly. Brad Garlinghouse previously praised the CLARITY Act, highlighting it as overdue legislation providing practical frameworks while safeguarding consumers.

This clash exposes differing views on regulation’s role in innovation and market clarity.

The immediate community response highlights a division over the regulation versus innovation debate. Cardano (ADA) and Ripple (XRP), among others, may face impacts depending on the act’s final structure. The draft proposes keeping crypto under SEC oversight unless proven decentralized. Potential implications extend to DeFi protocols, with stakeholders wary of the act’s consequences on tokenized assets. The broader crypto industry watches closely for developments that could set precedents for regulatory approaches towards digital assets.

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

The post Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto assets send conflicting signals ahead of the Federal Reserve’s September rate decision. On-chain data reveals a clear decrease in Bitcoin and Ethereum flowing into centralized exchanges, but a sharp increase in altcoin inflows. The findings come from a Tuesday report by CryptoQuant, an on-chain data platform. The firm’s data shows a stark divergence in coin volume, which has been observed in movements onto centralized exchanges over the past few weeks. Bitcoin and Ethereum Inflows Drop to Multi-Month Lows Sponsored Sponsored Bitcoin has seen a dramatic drop in exchange inflows, with the 7-day moving average plummeting to 25,000 BTC, its lowest level in over a year. The average deposit per transaction has fallen to 0.57 BTC as of September. This suggests that smaller retail investors, rather than large-scale whales, are responsible for the recent cash-outs. Ethereum is showing a similar trend, with its daily exchange inflows decreasing to a two-month low. CryptoQuant reported that the 7-day moving average for ETH deposits on exchanges is around 783,000 ETH, the lowest in two months. Other Altcoins See Renewed Selling Pressure In contrast, other altcoin deposit activity on exchanges has surged. The number of altcoin deposit transactions on centralized exchanges was quite steady in May and June of this year, maintaining a 7-day moving average of about 20,000 to 30,000. Recently, however, that figure has jumped to 55,000 transactions. Altcoins: Exchange Inflow Transaction Count. Source: CryptoQuant CryptoQuant projects that altcoins, given their increased inflow activity, could face relatively higher selling pressure compared to BTC and ETH. Meanwhile, the balance of stablecoins on exchanges—a key indicator of potential buying pressure—has increased significantly. The report notes that the exchange USDT balance, around $273 million in April, grew to $379 million by August 31, marking a new yearly high. CryptoQuant interprets this surge as a reflection of…
