In a July 23 tweet, Garlinghouse slammed the Securities and Exchange Commission for its “regulation by enforcement” approach, which he said has only served to hurt retail investors.


“​​The SEC created this mess by proclaiming it was the cop on the crypto beat when it had no legal jurisdiction,” wrote Garlinghouse in a July 23 tweet. “Where’s that gotten us? Consumers left holding the bag in bankruptcy court while the SEC holds press conferences,” he added.An important topic has come up about protecting retail.

Garlinghouse’s criticism came in response to the SEC’s latest round of comments concerning Ripple, in which the regulator hinted at appealing the split-decision ruling against Ripple Labs.


On July 21, the SEC used its ongoing case against Terraform Labs founder Do Kwon to air out its concerns with the decision that retail sales of XRP (XRP) on exchanges didn’t constitute the legal definition of a security.


“Respectfully, those portions of Ripple were wrongly decided, and this Court should not follow them,” SEC lawyers wrote, asserting that these sales of XRP should have been deemed securities.


“SEC staff is considering the various available avenues for further review and intends to recommend that the SEC seek such review,” they added.

Speaking directly to the SEC’s comments, Garlinghouse said it was “absurd” to blame a judge for simply applying the law.


"We all know legislation — not more regulation by enforcement — is the only way forward to provide clear rules and protect retail,” he added.


Ripple Labs Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty chimed in, saying that trying to explain that XRP isn’t a security is like “explaining to a flat earther that the world is round.”Talking to someone who still doesn’t understand that the token itself is not the security is like explaining to a flat earther that the world is round.— Stuart Alderoty (@s_alderoty) July 22, 2023


On July 17, SEC Chair Gary Gensler also expressed his disappointment over the court’s decision on the securities status of XRP, adding that the regulator would continue to assess this opinion.


At the time of publication, Ripple Labs’ XRP token was changing hands for $0.73, up nearly 50% in the last month, according to data from TradingView.
