Brad Garlinghouse's aircraft lands in Van Nuys as CLARITY Act debate intensifies

Brad Garlinghouse's aircraft, a 2011 Bombardier Global 6000 tail number N100RP, was tracked flying from Santa Monica Municipal Airport to Van Nuys Airport on June 25, 2026—a 15-minute hop at 3,000 feet covering roughly 15 miles.

If aboard, Brad Garlinghouse would arrive in Los Angeles the same week the CLARITY Act faces a ticking clock in the Senate. Per a FOX Business segment cited by EdifyingCrypto.com, the Senate has just 16 legislative days before August recess to pass the bill, which would codify crypto regulation and, Garlinghouse told Semafor, end what he called an era of "lawfare" against the industry. Garlinghouse has also publicly debated JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon over the bill's stablecoin yield provision, per crypto.news.

The Van Nuys arrival is unusual for Garlinghouse, who typically flies between San Francisco and Miami or Fort Lauderdale for Ripple's business. Over the past week, N100RP made multiple short hops around Southern California, suggesting a period of local meetings or events in the Los Angeles basin, a key media and political market for crypto lobbying efforts.
