JW Verret, an associate professor at George Mason University School of Law, wrote that the SEC v. Ripple case provides a perspective for the United States to re-examine the role of regulation in the digital age. It highlights the importance of a tailored regulatory approach that can distinguish between different types of crypto assets, what they are used for, and the fact that they are traded. This will create a precise and adaptable regulatory environment, rather than one that is overly broad, stifling, and ultimately non-compliant. Regulators should recalibrate their approaches and align with technological advances, not stifle them.
