Ripple's David Schwartz sees SEC tactics in a non-crypto lawsuit

  • Schwartz said he recognized SEC tactics in a non-crypto case
  • He pointed to vague definitions and expansive agency authority
  • The SEC accused Ripple in December 2020 of selling XRP as an unregistered security
  • Schwartz described the approach as regulation by enforcement
Why it matters: The remarks add to criticism of regulation-by-enforcement and highlight US regulatory uncertainty for the crypto industry.
