Ripple Lawyer Reveals Core Cryptocurrency Regulation Principles

To close out 2024, Ripple's Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, has shared crucial principles for the regulation of cryptocurrencies in the U.S., hoping the SEC will adhere to these guidelines.

Principles For Cryptocurrency Regulation

Alderoty highlighted the importance of distinguishing between security transactions and simple asset sales. The SEC should regulate only security transactions. He used the analogy of gold bars: when the sale includes rights in mining, it's a security transaction and falls under SEC regulation, but a simple sale does not. He criticized the SEC’s expansive jurisdiction, which causes industry concerns.

Alderoty rejected the notion that tokens can transition from securities to non-securities, viewing it as lacking a legitimate legal basis.

A New Phase In U.S. Crypto Regulation

These statements coincide with changes in the SEC leadership. Outgoing Chair Gary Gensler’s term was characterized by strict regulation. Paul Atkins is expected to introduce more flexible approaches, as New York Post notes, the industry should not expect complete leniency in the upcoming year.

Recommendations for the Incoming SEC Leadership

Alderoty proposed ending non-fraud cases in the crypto space and emphasized working collaboratively with Congress to establish clear regulatory frameworks. These actions could shape the market's future and its growth in 2025.

Alderoty emphasized that the actions of the new leadership will significantly impact the market's direction.

Alderoty’s proposals could provide a groundwork for a balanced SEC approach and boost the growth of the U.S. crypto market.
