Brian Armstrong of Coinbase Comments on SEC Vs Ripple Case
“The Ripple case seems to be going better than expected. Meanwhile, the SEC is realizing that attacking crypto is politically unpopular (because it harms consumers).”
In addition to this, he laid an emphasis on the fact that people are choosing what is attacking them and said:
“The irony is that the people they are supposedly protecting are the ones attacking them.”
Moreover, he noted that the regulator is refusing to provide a transparent substructure for crypto. Mentioning the actions taken by the SEC, he stated:
“Instead of working with the industry, the SEC is using their meetings with companies as lead generation for their enforcement actions. These are the exact people the SEC is supposed to be protecting.”
