Ripple is stepping up its pressure on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, calling for an immediate end to the regulatory limbo that has plagued the digital asset market for years. The company argues that the current lack of definitive guidelines is stifling growth and creating unnecessary risks for both companies and individual investors across the country.

Stuart Alderoty, Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer, expressed support for pending proposals but emphasized that simply suggesting rules is not enough. He noted that the cryptocurrency industry cannot thrive on ambiguity, stressing that finalized frameworks are essential to ensure that innovation remains rooted in the United States rather than migrating to more welcoming international jurisdictions.

By pushing for these concrete standards, Ripple hopes to move past the era of regulation by enforcement, where companies often learn what is illegal only after being sued. The firm believes that a transparent rulebook would provide the stability needed for institutional adoption and long term investment in blockchain technology.
