SEC v. Ripple Ruling: ICBLA Embarks on Developing Regulatory Proposals for Blockchain and Crypto Industry

Last week’s landmark ruling in the SEC v. Ripple Labs et al. case marks a significant and pivotal moment for the cryptocurrency industry. This is the first summary judgment loss for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), providing an unprecedented turn of events. This ruling challenges the statements of Chair Gary Gensler, contradicting his stance that almost every token he’s seen is a security, The International Congress of Blockchain Legal Advisors (ICBLA) said in a press release.

“As a result of the recent ruling, ICBLA’s Society of Fellows has formulated a task force to draft findings. The mission of this project is to leverage the collective knowledge and expertise of the Society to draft clear, comprehensive, and actionable proposals that empower blockchain and crypto entrepreneurs to navigate the rapidly evolving regulatory environment,” ICBLA added.

The legal clarity provided for XRP is the first of its kind, presenting a momentous milestone for digital asset regulation. The ruling provides a much-needed precedent, establishing the potential for other tokens to power projects without the risk of an enforcement action.

This decision suggests cryptocurrency exchanges operating secondary markets for tokens like XRP may be in the clear, despite the SEC’s barrage of litigation focused on exchanges this year.  Reliable secondary markets have been critical for building the crypto industry.

The ruling also sends a clear message to Congress that the SEC needs more explicit guidance to regulate crypto-currencies effectively. The court’s rejection of the SEC’s approach underscores the need for appropriate legislation in this rapidly evolving industry, ICBLA said.
