CEO optimistic about US ‘regulatory clarity for crypto’

Ripple's CEO, Brad
Garlinghouse, shared in a Jan. 3 Twitter thread that he's “cautiously
optimistic” about the United States gaining “breakthrough” regulatory clarity
for the cryptocurrency industry in 2023.
To
mark the first day of the 118th Congress, Garlinghouse shared his hopes of 2023
being the year the U.S. gained regulatory clarity for crypto, adding that
support for regulation is “bipartisan & bicameral.”
Garlinghouse
said the U.S. was not starting with a “blank slate” for regulation, referencing
bills such as the Securities Clarity Act, the Responsible Financial Innovation
Act and the Clarity for Digital Tokens Act as examples.
According
to the Ripple CEO, “the stakes couldn’t be
higher.” He added
that “no bill is perfect and there likely never will be one that satisfies
everyone” and attempts to pursue a perfect bill shouldn't stall Congress’
progress in creating crypto regulations and legislation.
The
U.S. is behind Singapore, the European Union, Brazil and Japan when it comes to
crypto legislation and regulations, Garlinghouse opined.
He
claimed the lack of a coordinated effort to implement a regulatory framework
both globally and in the U.S. “continues to push business to countries [with]
lower regulatory bars,” resulting in “sometimes catastrophic results,” such as
the implosion of Bahamas-headquartered FTX.

network along with its cryptocurrency XRP
In
December 2020, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a
lawsuit against Ripple alleging the company sold XRP as an unregistered
security.
The
SEC argued Ripple raised billions through XRP sales and failed to register the
offerings as securities as required by law. Ripple denied the allegations
claiming XRP is a currency, not a security.
In
October, Garlinghouse told
panelists at the
D.C. Fintech Week conference that he expects the case against the firm to
conclude during the first half of 2023 but admitted that it was hard to
predict.
The
case is still ongoing with no clear sign of when it will end.
