CEO da Ripple afirma que a luta por regulamentações claras deve continuar
- 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 também afirma que o regulador deliberadamente criou confusão no setor.
O CEO da empresa de pagamentos blockchain Ripple, Brad Garlinghouse, afirmou que a luta pela clareza regulatória no espaço criptográfico deve continuar em meio aos processos movidos contra as principais exchanges cripto Binance e Coinbase pela Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dos Estados Unidos.
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.
De acordo com Garlinghouse, os documentos de Hinman confirmam que a SEC conscientemente criou confusão no espaço criptográfico sob a liderança do presidente Gary Gensler. Ele disse que depois de criar confusão sobre as regras, o regulador usou a situação por meio da fiscalização.
O executivo da Ripple disse por meio de um vídeo do 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.
