Alderoty Slams SEC?

According to Alderoty’s post on X, the SEC never implemented the 2020 rule. The 2020 rule refers to the changes proposed by the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) for the regulation of proxy voting advice. This rule was set for proxy advisory firms to comply with notice-and-awareness conditions before providing voting advice to shareholders or investors.

However, the rule never came into effect, as the then-appointed Chair of the SEC, Gary Gensler, called for a review of the rule. Notably, in June 2021, Gensler directed the regulatory body to temporarily suspend the enforcement of the rule. This was followed by the recession in November 2021 that urged the SEC to completely elude it. These chronicles, collectively, ensured that the 2020 Rule was never put into action.

Regarding this, the Ripple CLO appears to be dismayed with the SEC’s handling of the nation’s crucial matters. Not to forget, the Ripple XRP vs the U.S. SEC lawsuit has its own chitchat in the crypto realm.

The regulatory body’s failures in other legal battles glimmer hope for Ripple’s ongoing lawsuit.
