• Stuart Alderoty of Ripple backs the Senate’s rejection of the SEC’s divisive cryptocurrency regulatory proposal.
• The bipartisan action shows the increasing popularity of reasonable cryptocurrency innovation and regulation.

Chief Legal Officer (CLO) Stuart Alderoty of Ripple has become a strong advocate after the US Senate decisively rejected the controversial cryptocurrency regulatory plan of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 121 rule from the SEC has caused a great deal of worry in the banking and cryptocurrency industries, especially with regard to how it might affect the custodial services that regulated banks provide.

Alderoty greeted the Senate’s bold action, which saw a coalition of Democrats and Republicans reject the SEC’s proposal, with joy. He hailed the Senate’s position as a major win against what he sees as the SEC’s unjustified overreach under Chair Gary Gensler’s direction.

This bipartisan resistance is noteworthy since it reflects the increasing power of important participants in the cryptocurrency market. Ripple leads the charge for promoting innovation and regulatory clarity in the markets for digital assets.

The Senate rejecting SAB 121 is indicative of a larger bipartisan movement in favor of reasonable cryptocurrency regulation. Alderoty underlined the need to work with members of other parties to shape laws related to cryptocurrency.

The vote by the Senate demonstrates this cooperative attitude, which may indicate a change in the regulatory environment with benefits for the expansion and advancement of the cryptocurrency sector. Alderoty shares similar views with other well-known members of the cryptocurrency world.
