Ripple Labs has stepped up its efforts in the crypto regulation space by responding to the U.S. Senate's request regarding the Crypto Market Structure Bill.
Ripple's Response to Crypto Regulation Proposal
On August 7, 2025, Ripple Labs submitted a response to the U.S. Senate regarding the Crypto Market Structure Bill. Stuart Alderoty, Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer, is leading efforts to clarify regulatory boundaries between the SEC and CFTC.
Critique of the Draft Bill
Alderoty emphasizes the need for clarified roles to ensure market stability. Ripple critiques the draft bill for increasing compliance confusion, noting potential threats to innovation if regulatory roles remain ambiguous.
Expectations for Regulatory Landscape Changes
Ripple's stance may impact major cryptocurrencies such as XRP, ETH, and SOL. The company argues that vague asset classifications could affect their exchange listings and risk profiles. Ripple advocates for a unified national standard that may alter liquidity patterns in the market.
While the market has yet to significantly react to Ripple's Senate involvement, ongoing monitoring is essential to assess future changes in crypto regulation.
