SEC Urges Clear Crypto Regulations After Ripple Case Closure

The recent conclusion of the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple has prompted top agency officials to call for a more robust regulatory framework for digital assets. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce highlighted this opportunity, stating that it allows them to move away from litigation and focus on developing clear crypto rules. This shift towards regulation was echoed by SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, who expressed his support for clearer guidelines and called for the agency to steer its focus away from courtrooms towards policy development that protects investors and fuels innovation.
