Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, a16z's Chris Dixon, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Kraken co-founder Arjun Sethi met Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to stress the need for swift Clarity Act passage that would boost U.S. jobs, accelerate economic growth and pull crypto firms back onshore, two sources said. The executives also flagged ethics concerns as the main remaining hurdle and asked how the White House could secure bipartisan support before today's 2:30 p.m. ET meeting with President Trump.
