As experts in the field of trading and investing, we are constantly monitoring the latest trends and developments in the stock market. Today, we want to delve into the recent events surrounding Ripple, the SEC, and Capitol Hill, and their implications for the cryptocurrency market.
SEC Chair Gary Gensler and US lawmakers recently geared up for a US Financial Services Committee Hearing, where all five SEC Commissioners will provide testimony. In a candid CNBC interview, Gensler emphasized the prevalence of fraudsters and scammers in the US digital asset space, underscoring the need for robust regulations. Despite claims of regulatory ambiguity, Gensler asserted that US securities laws have offered clarity for nearly a century.
During the hearing, Republican Congressman Ritchie Torres challenged the SEC’s use of the term “digital asset security,” alleging that it lacks a legal basis in congressional laws, SEC regulations, and Supreme Court decisions. Torres went as far as to claim that the SEC fabricated the term.
Gensler’s remarks on US securities laws suggest that the SEC will likely intensify its scrutiny of crypto companies and potentially pursue further legal action in the SEC vs. Ripple case. The uncertainty surrounding the SEC’s plans has kept XRP trading below $0.60, with the cryptocurrency showing a modest 1.98% increase from September 16 to September 21.
