Ripple’s CLO Calls on Kamala Harris to Address SEC’s Crackdown on Crypto

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial sector, I find myself intrigued by the ongoing saga between Ripple and the SEC, and more importantly, the potential role Vice President Kamala Harris could play in shaping the future of the crypto industry.


Stuart Alderoty, serving as the Chief Legal Officer at Ripple, has urged Vice President Kamala Harris to intervene in what he perceives as the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) biased handling towards the cryptocurrency sector.

Regarding topic X, Alderoty stated, “Should the Administration truly aim for a ‘restart,’ immediate action is required to cease the Securities and Exchange Commission’s ill-advised battle against cryptocurrency.”

As someone who has closely followed the development of the cryptocurrency industry over the past decade, I find myself greatly encouraged by the recent court decision in the Ripple vs. SEC case. Having witnessed numerous legal battles between blockchain companies and regulatory bodies, it is refreshing to see a ruling that seems to strike a balance between protecting investors and fostering innovation within the sector.

Additionally, Vice President Harris is actively reaching out to the cryptocurrency sector. Notably, her campaign attended a crypto discussion led by Democratic Representative Ro Khanna, and the ongoing Crypto4Harris public forum underscores her dedication to interacting with crypto enthusiasts.

Paul Grewal, Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer, pointed out that Harris’s campaign might offer a fresh viewpoint on government cryptocurrency regulation, potentially fostering a more favorable climate for the industry.

While some individuals are uncertain about Harris’s strategy, Charles Hoskinson, the creator of Cardano, has voiced reservations. He posits that the anticipated “cryptocurrency reset” might not materialize, and backing Harris could potentially harm the U.S. cryptocurrency sector.
