Stuart Alderoty, chief legal officer of Ripple, has openly demanded the termination of SEC v. Ripple on the fourth anniversary of the case.
Alderoty asked the incoming Trump administration to fix the problems caused by William “Bill” Hinman, a former SEC official, who made misleading regulatory claims.
He urged the new crypto-friendly SEC chair, Paul Atkins, to focus on rebuilding confidence and addressing the harm caused.
The agency is required to submit its opening brief in the Ripple vs. SEC case before January 15, just before Gary Gensler's scheduled resignation.
