• Ripple’s Alderoty slams SEC for unclear crypto regulations.
  • SEC withdraws Ripple appeal, signaling retreat from crypto cases.
  • Alderoty urges Congress to enable clear, innovation-friendly crypto laws.

Ripple Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty has raised anew concerns about how the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) deals with cryptocurrency regulation.

His statement comes following the SEC’s voluntary withdrawal of an appeal in its extended legal saga against Ripple. Which is something he suspects serves to show broader issues about the agency’s regulatory strategy.

Alderoty challenged the SEC’s intentions for bringing enforcement actions when there are no clearly defined rules for digital assets. “Why bring these cases if the rules themselves are unclear?” he suggested, referencing what he perceives as an uneven pattern of enforcement by the agency.

His comments reflect a wider sentiment in the crypto space that regulatory uncertainty still holds back substantive innovation and business growth.

Ripple’s legal win is not just consequential for the firm itself. Alderoty emphasized that this wasn’t a solitary instance. He pointed out the SEC has also been backing off from other enforcement actions. This is positing a reversal of the agency’s stance as it faces blowback from legal professionals and also market participants alike.

Inviting legislative action, Alderoty called on U.S. legislators to intervene and establish a clear, orderly framework for regulating digital assets. “It’s time to clean up the mess,” he said. Emphasizing the need for laws that are transparent and effective in safeguarding consumers. That is maintaining market integrity and enabling innovation to flourish.

He also reiterated that good crypto regulation must be created in cooperation with industry players. And Congress with the aim of keeping the U.S. competitive in the digital economy.

With Ripple shifting its focus back to business operations. Alderoty’s appeal gains strength from mounting calls for sweeping and well-considered regulatory changes in the crypto arena.
