Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, recently discussed the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) approach to cryptocurrency cases. Alderoty questioned the SEC’s decision to drop its appeal against Ripple and wondered why the agency pursued such cases in the first place.
According to Alderoty, the SEC not only dropped its case against Ripple but has also started retracting actions against other crypto companies. He believes that this is because the SEC has been enforcing rules without providing clear explanations of those rules.
Alderoty emphasized that the lack of proper guidelines and regulations for crypto in the United States is a problem. He believes it is time to address this issue, focus on running businesses, and collaborate with Congress to establish smart and clear crypto regulations.
These new regulations should prioritize consumer protection, ensure market integrity, prevent bad actors from entering the space, and most importantly, foster innovation in the crypto industry.
