Andrew Whitworth, Ripple’s Policy Director for Europe, the Middle East and Africa called it a landmark moment for the global crypto industry. However, he indicated that the job is not done yet as now it is up to the European Supervisory Authorities to generate specific rules and regulations for firms.
