Il CEO di Ripple afferma che la lotta per regolamenti chiari deve continuare
- Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse claims that the battle for regulatory clarity in the crypto space “has to continue.”
- He claims that the SEC acted in “bad faith, plain and simple.”
- Garlinghouse afferma inoltre che il regolatore ha deliberatamente creato confusione nel settore.
Il CEO della società di pagamenti blockchain Ripple, Brad Garlinghouse, ha dichiarato che la lotta per la chiarezza normativa nello spazio crittografico deve continuare tra le cause intentate contro i principali scambi di criptovalute Binance e Coinbase dalla Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) degli Stati Uniti.
The executive noted that the court battle between the SEC and Ripple is about to come to an end while adding that this is only the beginning of many future battles that the crypto space has to fight for. Garlinghouse stated that the fight for clarity “has to continue.”
It is crucial to mention here that following a lot of back-and-forth movement between the SEC and Ripple, the Hinman documents were unveiled on June 13, and Ripple is not very optimistic when it comes to the conclusion of the case. The documents revolve around the former Director of the SEC’s Division of Corporate Finance, William Hinman, who stated that Ethereum (ETH) cannot be classified as a security. Based on the same argument, the Ripple CEO stated that the XRP token is also not a security.
Secondo Garlinghouse, i documenti Hinman confermano che la SEC ha consapevolmente creato confusione nello spazio crittografico sotto la guida del presidente Gary Gensler. Ha detto che dopo aver creato confusione sulle regole, il regolatore ha utilizzato la situazione tramite l'applicazione.
Il dirigente di Ripple ha dichiarato tramite a Video Twitter posted on June 17 that this confusion created by the regulator is the “definition of putting politics over people […] and the pursuit of power over sound policy.” He also claims that the regulator acted in “bad faith, plain and simple.”
Garlinghouse also claims that in his several meetings with the SEC, he answered “every question [the SEC] had, and not once did they suggest to me that XRP was a security.” He emphasized that the Hinman documents are not about a single cryptocurrency or blockchain in general, but they represent the “relentless” enforcement action by the SEC.
“This is about showing the extent to which the SEC has relentlessly enforced action against crypto players, while professing fake open arms and calls to come in and register, all the while lying about their so-called guidance,” Garlinghouse said.
Come riportato in precedenza da Bitnation, Ripple continua ad espandere la sua presenza globale, annunciando di recente a partnership with Colombia’s central bank, Banco de la República to test a blockchain-based CBDC.
