Ripple urges the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) cryptocurrency task force to establish clearer rules for digital assets. In a letter dated 9 de janeiro de 2026, the company pointed out that current regulations wrongly conflate assets with their original sale contracts. Ripple criticizes the use of “decentralization” as a subjective legal standard and warns that securities laws should regulate legally binding commitments, rather than mere price speculation. Ripple emphasizes that secondary market transactions (where there is no direct issuer-buyer relationship) should not be considered securities transactions, aligning with recent statements from SEC leadership regarding the development of more pragmatic regulatory measures.
