Огромной победой для сектора цифровых активов стало то, что с генерального директора и исполнительного председателя американской платежной компании Ripple, ориентированной на блокчейн, были сняты все обвинения, выдвинутые против них Комиссией по ценным бумагам и биржам США (SEC) за последние несколько лет. Регулятор проголосовал за снятие обвинений с генерального директора Брэда Гарлингхауса и председателя Криса Ларсена с предубеждением.
Согласно пресс-релизу общий by the firm, this is the third consecutive victory for Ripple, Garlinghouse, and Larsen after the United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Judge Analisa Torres, ruled in July 2023 that “XRP is not, in and of itself, a security.”
“Instead of looking for the criminals stealing customer funds on offshore exchanges that were courting political favor, the SEC went after the good guys—along with our entire company of innovators and entrepreneurs—who are building a regulated business based in the U.S. We look forward to the day this chapter is closed once and for all, now that the SEC has dropped the curtain on their absurd theatrics against Chris and me,” said Garlinghouse.
Garlinghouse noted that for over three years, Larsen and his company were subjected to various accusations “from a rogue regulator with a political agenda.” Finally, they have been cleared of all charges.

On the other hand, Larsen stated that the SEC tried to “advance a political agenda to suffocate crypto in America.” He added that “it is a travesty that we were forced to defend ourselves from an ill-advised attack that was flawed from the day it was filed.”
“It is an abuse by the administrative state that politically connected special interests, with clear and proven conflicts of interest, were able to drag our names through the mud in an attempt to ruin us personally and destroy a company so many have worked so hard for so long to build,” Larsen said.
As reported earlier by Bitnation, Ripple CEO Garlinghouse slammed the SEC’s approach to регулирование цифровых активов посредством правоприменения, stating that the move is driving crypto businesses outside the country. The firm also noted in its press release that nearly 90% of Ripple’s business is outside the U.S. and hiring remains focused in major international markets.
