Ripple (XRP<\/a>) recently released<\/a> its framework for approaching cryptocurrency regulation in the US, outlining several recommendations for Washington policymakers.<\/p>\n

In a bid to limit the US Securities and Exchange Commission<\/a>\u2019s (SEC) \u2018tyranny,\u2019 the blockchain company<\/a> proposed a bigger role for Commodity Futures Trading Commission<\/a> (CFTC) and public-private collaboration.<\/p>\n

Ripple is tied in a lawsuit<\/a> filed last December by the SEC, alleging that the company\u2019s sale of XRP was an unregistered security offering worth more than $1,38 billion.<\/p>\n

More industry collaboration and crypto innovation sandboxes<\/h2>\n

The company proactively broke down its concept for cryptocurrency and digital asset regulation in a series of \u201cimmediate and pragmatic\u201d tweaks, starting with placing the public-private collaboration at the center of legislative proposals.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ripple\/status\/1460609101952479235<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cFostering this type of open dialogue is precisely the aim of the Eliminate Barriers to Innovation Act,\u201d noted Ripple, while putting an emphasis on the open dialogue with industry insiders.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bill \u2014 which requires the establishment of a collaborative working group consisting of appointees from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as well as representatives from fintech companies, financial firms, and small businesses \u2014 passed the House and remains pending in the Senate,\u201d reminded the company.<\/p>\n

Stuart Alderoty, Ripple\u2019s general counsel, called out the SEC for being hostile on numerous occasions.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/twitter.com\/s_alderoty\/status\/1453043393047695360<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cTheir preferred method of strong arm intimidation and inconsistently applying unclear rules hurts consumers and markets in the end,\u201d read one of his tweets.<\/p>\n

Senator Pat Toomey<\/a> of Pennsylvania, who recently put pressure on the SEC Chairman Gensler, asked for the industry\u2019s feedback on crypto and blockchain laws. Ripple\u2019s policy framework comes as a concrete response.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/twitter.com\/s_alderoty\/status\/1442996730597883907<\/a><\/p>\n

Besides calling for greater collaboration within the industry, the company also pointed out the importance of fostering innovation sandboxes and creating a \u201csafe harbor\u201d regime.<\/p>\n

Ripple recommended permitting developers to \u201claunch their products and develop their networks for a limited period of time without needing to comply with federal securities laws, provided certain conditions are met.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adapting existing financial regulatory frameworks<\/h2>\n

Ripple also recommended adapting existing financial regulatory framework to regulate crypto.<\/p>\n

Here, the company referenced the two proposals designed to work within the existing format, while adapting it to allow crypto and blockchain innovation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Securities Clarity Act (SCA) proposes a new term \u2014 \u201cinvestment contract asset\u201d \u2014 and makes clear that such assets should be considered separate and distinct from any securities offerings they may have been a part of,\u201d Ripple clarified the first proposal in mind, which addresses the unique attributes inherent to crypto.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Digital Commodity Exchange Act (DCEA), which is complementary to the SCA, seeks to create a federal definition of \u201cdigital commodity exchanges\u201d and charges the CFTC with authority to register and oversee them, similar to the requirements in commodity derivatives markets,\u201d added Ripple, referencing the second proposal, which recommends the CFTC to take the reigns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
