Ripple's Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, has outlined six principles for cryptocurrency regulation that he believes the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) should adopt. Alderoty emphasized the need for the SEC to focus its oversight on securities transactions and avoid unnecessary control over general asset sales or digital tokens. He argued against the idea that a cryptocurrency token can transform from a security to a non-security over time, calling it baseless. Alderoty also called for collaboration between the SEC and Congress to establish clear and transparent rules for the industry. He criticized the SEC's recent actions as being overly broad and self-serving. The ongoing legal dispute between Ripple and the SEC is expected to conclude in 2025, with significant developments expected under the Trump administration. Alderoty's principles reflect Ripple's position on fostering a balanced and transparent regulatory framework that supports innovation while ensuring compliance.
