Brad Garlinghouse flies to Van Nuys the week of the CLARITY Act markup

Brad Garlinghouse flew from Van Nuys to Van Nuys on May 26, 2026, a short hop that appears to have been a local repositioning or test flight. The aircraft, a Bombardier Global 6000 registered as N100RP, spent 1 hour 39 minutes at a maximum altitude of 4,000 feet, suggesting a pattern flight rather than a cross-country trip.

The same week, Garlinghouse is in the news cycle for his comments on the CLARITY Act, the crypto market-structure bill he told the Consensus conference in Miami is a "done deal" that could stall if the Senate does not act within the next two weeks, per crypto.news. Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno said at Solana's Accelerate event that the bill will be marked up in the Senate next week and signed into law before July 4, as reported by ethnews.com. Garlinghouse has also noted that XRP already has legal clarity from a federal judge's ruling, per CoinGape.

The Van Nuys movement follows a pattern of short Los Angeles-area flights on May 21 and May 18, and a New York-to-Miami trip on May 22. Garlinghouse maintains a presence in both the Bay Area and Florida, and the aircraft's recent schedule suggests a mix of conference travel and regional positioning ahead of the Senate's crypto markup.
