Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has criticized SEC Chair Gary Gensler for his approach to cryptocurrency regulation, labeling it as a 'failed regulation-by-enforcement agenda.' Garlinghouse accused Gensler of being dismissive of the 2024 election and public sentiment regarding crypto policies. This criticism comes as the SEC prepares to file its appeal brief in the ongoing case against Ripple Labs concerning the classification of XRP. The SEC has stated it will not postpone this appeal despite Gensler's impending departure. Garlinghouse's comments reflect broader frustrations within the crypto industry regarding regulatory clarity and the SEC's stance on cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, which Gensler clarified have never been classified as securities by the agency.
