Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has criticized the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its recent decision to withdraw from its confrontation with Binance. Garlinghouse described the SEC's retreat as a sign of weakness. The SEC's decision also included backing off from labeling Solana, Cardano, and Polygon as securities, which has caused further uncertainty in the cryptocurrency market. This move has sparked mixed reactions among legal experts, with some viewing it optimistically while others remain skeptical. Additionally, a Texas judge recently ruled against the SEC in a crypto-securities action, adding to the series of setbacks for the regulatory body.
