Ripple’s Chief Lawyer Speaks Out on New SEC Boss With Surprising Twist
In a surprising turn of events, the chief lawyer for Ripple has spoken out about the new head of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Paul Atkins. The Ripple legal team has been locked in an ongoing battle with the SEC over allegations that XRP is a security.
While Gensler’s tenure was marked by aggressive enforcement and confrontations with the crypto industry, there are expectations around Atkins’ approach centered on regulatory clarity and depoliticization. His early messaging emphasized structure, investor protection, and a return to mission fundamentals.
In an unexpected statement, Ripple’s chief lawyer has weighed in on the new developments, stating that Atkins will be “good” for Bitcoin.
This is not the first time that Ripple’s leadership has made public comments about SEC matters. In the past, the company has been vocal about its issues with Gensler and has called for regulatory clarity.
The Ripple legal team has been working to clear XRP’s legal status and avoid a similar crackdown from the SEC under Atkins’ tenure.
