**News Flash: Ripple's Legal Chief on SEC's Crypto Crackdown**

Ripple's Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, believes the recent Supreme Court decision to overturn Chevron USA Inc. vs. Natural Resources Defense Council will hardly affect the SEC's aggressive crypto enforcement strategy. In an interview with Cointelegraph, Alderoty emphasized that only a leadership change could alter the SEC's approach.

- Alderoty criticized the SEC's current leadership for damaging the agency's reputation.

- He accused the SEC of creating legal confusion through relentless litigation, including the ongoing Ripple case.

- The Supreme Court's June 2024 decision in Loper Bright vs. Raimondo overturned a 40-year precedent, impacting regulatory deference.

Despite these changes, Alderoty remains skeptical about any immediate shift in the SEC's stance towards the crypto industry.
