Ripple's Chief Legal Officer Drops Bombshell: SEC Retreats from Crypto Wars!

Stuart Alderoty Spills the Beans in a Riveting 60-Second Video

Holy crypto revolution, Batman! Ripple's Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, just lit up the screen with a 60-second video that's shaking the crypto world to its core. He's calling out the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for dropping Ripple's case, signaling a seismic shift in how the regulators are playing the crypto enforcement game.

"The SEC isn't just backing off Ripple, they've thrown in the towel on every crypto company in the U.S.!" Alderoty declared, dropping the mic like a boss.

This isn't just a legal victory dance; it's a monumental moment. Alderoty's making it clear that the SEC's finally waking up to what the crypto industry's been shouting from the rooftops: you can't just slap enforcement actions on folks without laying down some clear rules first!

"You can't punish people for breaking the law if you never told them what the law is!" he hammered home. And man, he's hitting the nail on the head about the glaring absence of any solid crypto laws in the U.S.

In the latest Crypto In One Minute, Ripple's legal eagle @s_alderoty breaks down why the SEC threw in the towel on Ripple in March 2025 and where the U.S. is headed with smart crypto rules on the horizon. Get ready for a ride that's all about protecting consumers, keeping the market honest, and booting out the bad guys!

Ripple's been battling this legal beast since December 2020, all centered around whether XRP should be slapped with the "security" label. It's been the crypto world's most nail-biting courtroom drama, and now, with the dust settling, Alderoty's ready to charge forward.

"We're done with the courtroom drama, folks. We're cleaning up the mess and getting back to what we do best—running our business!" he proclaimed. Ripple's all set to team up with Congress to push for smart crypto rules that keep consumers safe, the market clean, and innovation blazing.

Back in 2023, the courts gave Ripple a partial win: institutional sales were cool, but those public exchange XRP sales? Not so much. Ripple socked away $125 million in escrow for potential fines, but CEO Brad Garlinghouse is ready to claw that cash back.

"This just proves the old SEC under Gary Gensler was barking up the wrong tree. And shoutout to the new leadership at the SEC and the White House for getting us back on track," Garlinghouse spilled to Fox Business.

And guess what? This legal win comes at a perfect time for Ripple, fresh off their biggest acquisition ever—snagging Hidden Road for a cool $1.25 billion!

Alderoty and Garlinghouse are riding high as the SEC reshuffles under new boss Paul Atkins, appointed by President Trump. The agency's retreat from all crypto enforcement cases is a massive signal that their approach to crypto oversight is flipping on its head.

Oh, and did we mention? Ripple threw some serious support behind President Trump, donating millions to his campaign and dropping at least $5 million in XRP to his inauguration bash on January 20th. Talk about backing your horse!
