Nonetheless, in accordance with the Ripple Labs CEO, the U.S. Securities and Trade Fee (SEC) accredited a BTC ETF solely as a result of a court docket compelled its hand. Garlinghouse hopes different cryptos don’t have to leap by means of the identical regulatory hoops.
“The unhappy a part of that actuality is we’ve got a Bitcoin ETF solely as a result of a US court docket stated to the SEC, ‘You’re being arbitrary and capricious in your utility of the legislation.’ What can be unhappy is that if each ETF needed to undergo that very same journey, and for Gary Gensler to get smacked down by the US court docket system once more, that could be crucial. However in some unspecified time in the future, I feel Gary Gensler gained’t be the chair of the SEC, and that’ll be a very good factor for the American folks.”
