The Chief Executive Officer at Ripple, an American cross-border payments company, Brad Garlinghouse, has slammed the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its “regulation by enforcement” approach to the digital asset industry. The regulator has filed lawsuits against all the major crypto firms and their executives that have either operated or are currently operating in the US, including Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken.

Ripple’s CEO dijo in a July 23 post on social media platform Twitter that the agency’s method of enforcing regulations after legal actions is harming retail investors in the crypto market. He said that the regulator “created this mess by proclaiming it was the cop on the crypto beat when it had no legal jurisdiction.” 

He added that because of the mess created by the regulator in the crypto sector, “consumers are left holding the bag in bankruptcy court while the SEC holds press conferences.” 

Adicionalmente, también habló sobre los comentarios recientes de los abogados de la SEC sobre la posibilidad de apelar el fallo de la jueza Analisa Torres en la demanda Ripple vs. SEC sobre la venta de tokens XRP. El juez dijo que el token XRP no es un valor cuando se vende a inversores minoristas, pero es un valor cuando se vende a instituciones. Mientras tanto, la SEC cree que todos los criptoactivos, excepto Bitcoin (BTC), son valores.

“It’s absurd to blame a Judge for faithfully applying the law. We all know legislation – not more regulation by enforcement – is the only way forward to provide clear rules and protect retail,” said the Ripple CEO.

An important topic has come up about protecting retail. The SEC created this mess by proclaiming it was the cop on the crypto beat when it had no legal jurisdiction Where’s that gotten us? Consumers left holding the bag in bankruptcy court while the SEC holds press conferences.

After a partial win against the SEC on July 13, Ripple’s CEO stated that the SEC acted in “bad faith, plain and simple.” He added that the battle for regulatory clarity in the crypto space “has to continue,” while claiming that the regulatory authority deliberadamente causó confusión en la industria. 

According to a previous report from Bitnation, last month SEC enforcement director Gurbir Grewal stated that the agency had to “change strategies” to regulate crypto. He said that placing rules for crypto firms to follow was not fruitful, as the industry is built around noncompliance. “Typically, you’d also see compliance, but we’re not seeing that in this space, so we had to change strategies,” Grewal said.
