Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse criticizes the SEC for inconsistent crypto regulations, causing industry confusion.
SEC delays court ruling on Binance complaint, addressing ‘Third Party Crypto Asset Securities’ concerns.
Former President Trump and other crypto influencers support Garlinghouse’s criticism of SEC Chair Gensler’s regulatory approach.
Ripples CEO Brad Garlinghouse criticized the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the United States for having distracting and unfavorable rules. This came following the SEC’s announcement that they would amend their initial allegations on Binance because of regulators’ contradictory moves.
Garlinghouse made a recent statement describing what he believes is regulatory inconsistency on the part of the SEC, which creates uncertainty within the industry. Although SEC Chairman Gary Gensler asserts the rules are clear, the CEO of Ripple highlighted that his agency’s activities suggest otherwise and the SEC is unable to implement them consistently.
More evidence of SEC hypocrisy. Chair Gensler testifies the rules are clear, yet his SEC can't figure them out and applies them haphazardly, festering more industry confusion. A political agenda and/or bad faith litigation tactics. Def not a “faithful allegiance to the law". https://t.co/iX8IdvaW92
