Según un reportero de Fox Business, el ex presidente de la Comisión de Comercio de Futuros de Productos Básicos (CFTC) de EE. UU., Christopher Giancarlo, cree que el próximo presidente de la Comisión de Bolsa y Valores de EE. UU. podría abandonar el caso Ripple . Otra encuesta publicada en X por Good Morning Crypto reveló que de los 1312 votos, más del 94% de los dent creía que el caso Ripple sería desestimado.
Durante la discusión, Giancarlo reveló que la SEC de EE. UU. podría reevaluar los detalles del caso publicados en agosto. En agosto, la jueza Annalisa Torres dictaminó que la venta de XRP por parte de Ripple a mercados secundarios no violaba ninguna regulación. La empresa aún tuvo que pagar 125 millones de dólares en multas por vender XRP a clientes institucionales. El caso SEC vs. Ripple ha estado en curso desde diciembre de 2020.
Aún así, la comisión presentó un aviso de apelación a principios de octubre después del fallo del juez Torres en agosto. La SEC de Estados Unidos también presentó una apelación de último momento el 18 de octubre, impugnando otros aspectos del caso.
Ripple también presentó una contraapelación el 10 de octubre para impugnar la apelación de la SEC de EE. UU. Muchas figuras clave de la comunidad criptográfica, incluidos Brad Garlinghouse y Stuart Alderoty de Ripple , creían que el caso casi había terminado.

Fox Business senior correspondent Charles Gasparino asked the former CFTC chair about other regulatory questions. The former CFTC chair suggested that the U.S. SEC review other past cases filed against crypto companies. He believes the commission should drop most of the cases filed against the companies.
Last year has been especially shaky for centralized crypto exchanges in the U.S., with the commission suing multiple, including Kraken, KuCoin, and Coinbase. The commission suggested that crypto companies could not ignore the rules at the expense of investors.
Giancarlo also expressed his views on XRP, mentioning his long-term stance on the coin. The former CFTC chair confirmed that XRP was never a security and should not have been under the scrutiny of the U.S. SEC.
The former CFTC chair, referred to as the ‘Crypto Dad,’ has been speculated to be a top option as the first ‘crypto czar.’ The position would involve overlooking the crypto regulations and policies. Fintech company Trakx discussed Giancarlo’s pro-crypto stance, his alignment with incoming president Donald Trump’s policies, and his past in a regulatory position.
The recent discussion between Gasparino and Giancarlo comes due to Gary Gensler’s resignation as the U.S. SEC chair. Gensler tweeted on November 21 that he would resign from office effective January 20. The commission’s chair entered office in April 2021. The chair has also gained negative sentiment among the crypto community.
XRP’s price skyrocketed by about 25% and reached $1.43 after the announcement, hitting the highest level since May 2021. A CoinMarketCap report suggested an increased sentiment among investors for the possible dropping of the Ripple case. Today, the coin is up by about 4.88% and hovered around $1.55. XRP is still one of the top gainers in the past 7 days, up over 10%.
A recent report confirmed that Gensler’s resignation and the possibility of a more crypto-friendly U.S. SEC chair have led to momentum in several altcoins, including XRP. The report indicated investors’ fear of holding coins at risk of being classified as securities by the commission. With Gensler leaving office, investors are hopeful that most of the issues will dissipate, the report added.
