Ripple Backs SEC’s Proposed Crypto Regulation, Calls for End to Case-by-Case Enforcement - CryptoRank

Ripple has publicly endorsed a proposed regulatory framework from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), while urging the agency to move away from case-by-case enforcement and toward clearer, rules-based oversight of digital assets. The company's position is notable given its own history of litigation with the SEC, which makes its support for a structured rulemaking process a meaningful signal in the ongoing debate over how crypto should be regulated. For market participants, the development highlights a broader shift in the industry's posture: firms that once contested regulators are now engaging with the rulemaking process directly. The key question is whether the SEC's proposal advances into a formal rule, since a defined framework could reduce the legal ambiguity that has long surrounded token classification and compliance obligations. What to watch: the substance of the proposed rules, the scope of assets they would cover, and whether the SEC's approach moves from enforcement actions toward published guidance. Until then, the regulatory landscape remains unsettled, and the practical impact on issuers and exchanges will depend on how the proposal is finalized.
