Ripple’s Counsel in Its Lawsuit Says the Exclusive Filing of the SEC Is “Hypocritical Pivot”
After a recent filing that the SEC has submitted to support the interlocutory appeal thereof, Alderoty took to X. In his post, the attorney categorized the filing as another move that plays the role of a hypocritical pivot. The lawyer asserted that this development is one of the supposedly manipulative and inconsistent actions of the SEC chairman. He added that the move also highlights Gary Gensler’s craving for enhanced regulation.
The lawyer brought to the front that the SEC chair had requested an immediate appeal. In this respect, he reportedly said that the crypto rules and regulations were clear. Hence, he added, the market must adhere to the respective rules. Another lawyer named James Filan also discussed this issue and criticized the securities regulatory agency.
