Ripple Urges SEC to Adopt Proposed Crypto Framework and End Enforcement-Led Regulation

Ripple has submitted formal comments supporting the SEC's proposed digital asset rules while calling for established guidelines over piecemeal litigation.

On October 20, Ripple submitted a comment letter backing the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's proposed Regulation Crypto Assets. The company urged the regulator to finalize the framework, arguing that establishing clear definitions under existing statutes is essential to foster domestic innovation and protect market participants.

Ripple Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty stated that the agency holds the authority to enact the rules and argued that years of individual enforcement actions have driven crypto businesses outside the United States. Alderoty emphasized that a digital token does not automatically remain a security simply because it was once offered through an investment contract, asserting that the Howey standard should focus on ongoing issuer commitments rather than decentralization metrics.

The push for regulatory clarity follows Ripple's extensive legal dispute with the SEC, during which the firm spent over $150 million in legal defense. The SEC's pending proposal contains provisions for capital-raising exemptions, including limits of up to $5 million over four years and up to $75 million within a 12-month span.

Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
