In simpler terms, Stuart Alderoty, who holds the position of chief legal officer at Ripple, has voiced his opinion on the recent legal defeat suffered by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. He stated that the agency’s aggressive stance against cryptocurrency is starting to collapse or fall apart.
The Third Circuit Court of Appeals criticized the agency’s decisions as unreasonable and impulsive in their refusal of Coinbase’s application for thorough regulation. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been asked to explain why they denied this request.
The court asserts that inconsistently applying vague regulations to multiple cryptocurrency businesses is not just about combating fraud, but extends to a broader issue of fair and consistent legal application.
As per Alderoty, Judge Stephanos Bibas has made clear what the cryptocurrency sector has long maintained: The current SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) administration seems to be aiming for a complete prohibition of the industry by enforcing securities laws in a selective manner, according to Ripple’s lead lawyer.
Did Coinbase actually win?
Although Paul Grewal, General Counsel at Coinbase, declared victory in their petition for a writ of mandamus at the Third Circuit, attorney Fred Rispoli asserts that this is not accurate. In reality, Coinbase lost most of its arguments, and the issue in question can be rectified by the SEC upon remand.
On the other hand, the similarity pointed out by Alderoty could potentially support Ripple, as it aligns with Ripple’s legal argument in their appeal.
Judge Bibas stated on page 50 an agreement of remarkable similarity to Ripple’s appeal: He believes that outdated rules from the last century are ineffective when it comes to cryptocurrency, as he put it.
