Ripple<\/a> CEO Brad Garlinghouse<\/a> said the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) would lose its war against Ethereum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a March 22 post<\/a> on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Garlinghouse pointed out that the financial regulator lost its securities classification battle against his company's XRP<\/a> token and is on course to suffer a similar fate if it attempts to classify ETH as security.<\/p>\n

According to him:<\/p>\n

“The SEC picked fights with the industry and is losing badly in the Courts. They\u2019re now fighting fellow regulators like the CFTC, and falling behind international counterparts.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ripple's Chief legal officer Stuart Alderoty, sharing similar views with Garlinghouse, added<\/a> that the US Congress should stop funding this “insanity.”<\/p>\n

SEC vs Ethereum<\/h2>\n

This week, reports<\/a> surfaced that the Gary Gensler-led Commission was investigating entities associated with Ethereum, such as the Ethereum Foundation, to categorize ETH as a security.<\/p>\n

This development sparked significant criticism from the crypto community and US legislators, who voiced concerns<\/a> over the SEC's aggressive stance toward the emerging industry.<\/p>\n

Paul Grewal<\/a>, the chief legal officer at Coinbase<\/a>, highlighted<\/a> numerous instances where the SEC and its representatives have characterized Ethereum as a commodity.<\/p>\n

According to him, statements<\/a> from former high-ranking SEC official William Hinman and congressional hearings and testimony from Gensler before he became the SEC chair show that the digital asset was not a security.<\/p>\n

In addition, Grewal pointed out instances where the SEC lawyers have tried to compare ETH to BTC.<\/p>\n

Ethereum, XRP community animosity<\/h2>\n

Meanwhile, the Ripple executives' support for Ethereum is a surprise, given the historical friction between the XRP community and ETH.<\/p>\n

For years, XRP supporters have alleged<\/a> that ETH got preferential treatment from the SEC over its non-declaration as a security by former SEC official Hinman. They argue that this contributed to Ethereum's widespread adoption and development over subsequent years.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin<\/a>‘s past negative remarks<\/a> about XRP exacerbated the rivalry between the two projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
