Ripple CEO: Why US Crypto Ecosystem Is Unlike EU, G20 Groups?

XRP News: Amid much turbulence in the crypto ecosystem, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said there was a need to rebuild trust in the industry after recent hiccups. Even as the crypto market experiences another setback in the form of Silvergate crisis, Garlinghouse said the FTX collapse and Terra fiasco brought in the need for rebuilding trust through both utility and transparency.

SEC’s War On Crypto

The Ripple CEO acknowledged the recent rise in challenges for the crypto market. As with most industry experts, Garlinghouse said there was no framework to follow SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s calls of coming forward to register. He said there was no infrastructure in place for a ‘registered token’ to trade. Also, there is no clarity as to what the tokens actually are, stating that the SEC had virtually declared war on crypto. In the recent times, companies like Kraken and Paxos faced the brunt of SEC’s enforcement actions.
