币界网报道：Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse expressed strong optimism about stablecoins during his keynote at the XRP Ledger Apex conference in Singapore, citing Circle's successful IPO as evidence of growing institutional and retail interest in crypto. He highlighted the market's confidence in the imminent passage of the U.S. GENIUS Act, a bipartisan stablecoin bill expected to advance through Congress by August. Garlinghouse noted that regulatory progress in the U.S., alongside recent stablecoin frameworks in Hong Kong and South Korea, signals a positive shift for global crypto adoption. While emphasizing the need for clear regulations rather than deregulation, he declined to comment on potential Ripple-Circle merger talks. The Apex conference runs through Wednesday in Singapore.
