SEC Chair Gary Gensler has shared his thoughts on the recent Ripple lawsuit ruling, showing a mix of satisfaction and disappointment. While he's happy that the court found institutional sales of Ripple's tokens violated federal securities laws, he regrets the ruling's implications for retail investors. The court's decision that sales on exchanges and programmatic sales were not considered securities raised concerns, with experts fearing this could create a new category of "quasi-securities" dependent on investor sophistication. Gensler remains committed to investor protection and acknowledged the need for the SEC to assess the implications of the ruling further. The possibility of an appeal adds uncertainty to the future regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies. 😊🤔📊🔍🌐
