New York Rep. Ritchie Torres has called on United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler to reconsider the regulator’s position on crypto following a “dreadful day in court.”
In a July 18 letter to Gensler, Torres requested the SEC limit its enforcement cases to “bonafide bad actors” rather than “indiscriminately” treating the majority of crypto assets as securities under its purview. The lawmaker’s letter followed a court ruling in the SEC’s case against blockchain firm Ripple that suggested that the XRP (XRP) token was largely not a security.
