Ripple’s Counsel Urges US Lawmakers to Urgently Pass ‘Sensible’ Crypto Legislation Amid

Ripple's Counsel Urges US Lawmakers to Pass 'Sensible' Crypto Legislation Amid SEC Lawsuit Over XRP

Ripple’s general counsel has urged U.S. lawmakers to pass “sensible crypto legislation” amid a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lawsuit over the sale of xrp. “Rather than providing regulatory clarity through rulemaking, the SEC is bullying crypto markets by filing unproven allegations masquerading as regulation,” he opined.

Ripple’s Counsel Calls for ‘Sensible’ Crypto Regulation

Stuart Alderoty, general counsel for Ripple, stressed the importance of sensible cryptocurrency legislation in an opinion piece published Wednesday.

Referencing a House Financial Services Subcommittee hearing on Investor Protection where Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA) pushed the SEC to go after major cryptocurrency exchanges that traded XRP, Alderoty emphasized:

Sherman’s off-base remarks underscore the urgent need for sensible crypto legislation from Washington.

The SEC sued Ripple Labs, CEO Brad Garlinghouse, and co-founder Chris Larsen in December 2020, alleging that the XRP sale was an unregistered securities offering. Ripple disagreed with the SEC and has since been fighting a legal battle with the securities regulator. Recently, Garlinghouse discussed possible outcomes of the lawsuit.

Alderoty quoted Rep. Sherman stating that “the fact remains” that “XRP … clearly is a security.” However, the Ripple counsel argued that “the real fact” is:

The filing of a lawsuit determines nothing.

Noting that the lawmaker is a Harvard-trained lawyer, Alderoty alleged: “He knows that the SEC can’t determine XRP to be a security. He knows that no country in the world has determined XRP to be a security. He knows the issue needs to be decided in the court.” Whether XRP is a security or not has yet to be determined, the Ripple counsel explained, adding that “when it is made, it will be made by the court.”

Alderoty has been criticizing the SEC for its approach to regulating the crypto industry, particularly how the securities watchdog handles the lawsuit against Ripple and its executives over the sale of XRP.

He tweeted Wednesday:

Rather than providing regulatory clarity through rulemaking, the SEC is bullying crypto markets by filing unproven allegations masquerading as regulation.
