The post Ripple Pushes SEC with 3-Step Plan for Clear Crypto Regulations appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Ripple is calling on the SEC to finally bring clarity to crypto regulations. The company argues that unclear rules have caused confusion for years, making it harder for businesses and investors to navigate the industry. This comes after Hester Peirce, head of the SEC’s Crypto Task Force, asked the public for input on how crypto assets should be classified. Her request, titled “There must be some way out of here,” signals an effort to fix the mess left by past SEC leadership.
But Ripple isn’t holding back. The company has strongly criticized the SEC’s previous approach, calling it inconsistent, overly complicated, and legally weak.
Now, Ripple is laying out a clear plan to cut through the confusion – one that could finally bring long-overdue regulatory clarity.
In its response, Ripple strongly criticized the SEC’s former chairman, gary gensler

Gary Gensler is a pioneer and the current chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

He also earned a degree in economics.Gensler served in the United States Department of the Treasury as Assistant Secretary for Financial Markets from 1997 to 1999, then as Undersecretary for Domestic Finance from 1999 to 2001He has expressed his desire to present crypto-related approach changes later on that include token commitments, decentralized finance, stablecoins, guardianship, exchange-traded resources, and advancing stages.

arguing that the agency’s past approach to crypto regulation was unclear, overly complicated, and lacked legal support. Ripple suggested that the SEC intentionally created confusion to hide its failure to follow proper legal processes.
To fix this, Ripple outlined three key steps the SEC should take to improve regulatory clarity.

Ripple believes the SEC should only regulate assets that legally qualify as securities under federal law. The company argued that many digital assets, especially those that do not generate profit or yield, should not be classified as securities.
Ripple urged the SEC to stick to the laws already in place instead of introducing new rules that could create further confusion. The company stressed that only Congress has the power to make new laws, and the SEC should focus on enforcing existing regulations.
Ripple called on the SEC to take a more transparent approach to crypto regulations. It praised the SEC’s decision to clarify that meme coins are not securities, saying such clear guidance helps reduce uncertainty in the market. Ripple is now pushing for similar clarity across the entire crypto industry.
Meanwhile, the long-running legal battle between Ripple and the SEC is close to wrapping up. The SEC has dropped its appeal against Ripple, leaving only Ripple’s cross-appeal as the final step. Many legal experts believe Ripple will withdraw its appeal once a favorable agreement with the SEC is reached.
