Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of blockchain company Ripple, believes that more crypto firms and businesses will leave the United States due to confusing regulations in the country.
during a Interview With CNBC, the CEO said that the confusion in the country would push crypto entrepreneurs and investments to other favorable regions such as Europe, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the United Kingdom, and even Singapore.
Regulatory Confusion in the US
Garlinghouse said Europe, the UAE and the UK are providing clarity and leadership on regulating digital assets, and their efforts allow founders and investors to engage constructively with watchdogs and authorities. He stressed that Europe is the beneficiary of America’s current situation.
“I think it’s fair to say that the US has confused as much as possible about the rules of the road for the crypto industry. As you pointed out, the US SEC has really been at the forefront of that confusion. Unfortunately , It has encouraged companies like Ripple to invest more outside the US,” said the Ripple CEO.
Garlinghouse’s comments come as US regulators, notably the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), are cracking down on crypto companies. The SEC is currently in a legal battle with Ripple over alleged securities law violations in the offering and sale of XRP – the native cryptocurrency of the Ripple network.
The securities regulator has asked a US court to dismiss a petition by digital asset exchange Coinbase to set out comprehensive rules for the nascent industry, insisting that the existing rules are clear but crypto firms have sought to consider them. has refused.
Ripple in a strong financial position
in relation to recent acquisition Garlinghouse of Swiss-based crypto custody firm Metaco believes the firm is perfectly suited to Ripple’s expansion plans. The investment, which makes Garlinghouse’s company the sole shareholder of Metaco, will expand Ripple’s suite of products and give it access to an attractive customer base.
Ripple’s CEO further revealed that the company is in a solid financial position as it funded the $250 million Metaco purchase from its balance sheet. He added that Ripple is currently leaning and committing crimes, and the acquisition is an example of this.
Meanwhile, according to Garlinghouse, Ripple is neither in a rush to become a publicly traded company nor raise more capital.
