Recently Ripple CLO has spoken a lot on Gary Gensler’s role and Ripple vs SEC case complexities. His criticism is not isolated, as Paul Grewal, Coinbase’s legal head, has also voiced similar concerns. Both Alderoty and Grewal are shedding light on what they perceive as flaws in the SEC’s approach under Gensler’s leadership.
Alderoty recently said that the SEC, led by Gensler, seems to act without consequences, comparing it to a “police state” where accountability is lacking, which reflects his frustration with the agency’s behavior.
The criticism from Alderoty and Grewal is particularly significant against the backdrop of ongoing legal disputes between Ripple, Coinbase, and the SEC. These companies have been engaged in legal battles with the SEC over various regulatory issues, adding to the complexity and tension surrounding their interactions.
Also, Grewal’s criticism of how the SEC handled the DEBT Box case makes people even more worried about how open and accountable the agency is. The fact that the SEC admitted to lying in the case but did nothing to fix it makes people wonder how committed the agency is to being fair and honest in how it enforces regulations. The DEBT Box case is a sheer example of the SEC’s manipulative role in controlling crypto assets.
Recently, the SEC plans to drop its case against DEBT Box, but lawmakers, including J.D. Vance and Cynthia Lummis, are concerned about the agency’s integrity. They worry that the SEC’s actions may not be based on solid evidence, eroding trust in its enforcement.
Critics accuse the SEC of playing politics instead of acting ethically. Lawmakers are also unhappy with SEC Chair Gensler’s approach to regulating cryptocurrencies, which they believe harms the industry. Talks are ongoing about regulating stablecoins, with some progress reported.
Overall, Alderoty and Grewal’s criticisms show bigger worries about the SEC’s way of regulating under Gensler’s leadership. They show that the agency needs to be more open, accountable, and fair when dealing with bitcoin companies.
