Stuart Alderoty, the Chief Legal Officer for Ripple, has criticized the stance taken by policy makers on cryptocurrencies and their approach to regulating the booming industry.
Alderoty voiced his displeasure with certain senior bureaucrats who have formed an opinion about the status of crypto assets as securities. He highlighted the importance of understanding the implications of their actions and words on the rapidly expanding digital asset sector.
Alderoty also advised caution in joining the anti-crypto campaign of Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, reminding politicians of her less than successful presidential campaign.
Warren has been attempting to reach out to conservative Senate Republicans for support on her crypto bill, which would enforce rigorous anti-money laundering rules, in her attempts to form a unified front against the digital asset industry.
The Ripple executive is convinced that the ongoing legal battle with the SEC will be won, citing a recent court decision that denied the so called expert views of the SEC on XRP while enabling Ripple to remain involved. He has repeatedly criticized SEC Chair Gary Gensler and his anti-crypto stance, recently claiming that it may become a political liability for U.S. President Joe Biden.
