Caroline Pham, one of the five commissioners of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, believes that after Ripple’s partial victory, the path to regulatory transparency regarding cryptocurrencies in the US has been paved.
Speaking on Bloomberg TV on July 17, Commissioner Pham ha stated HE Recent major court decisions regarding the classification of crypto assets will eventually lead to greater regulatory transparency..

“Last year, I argued around the definition of a financial guarantee that we would first see more regulatory transparency in the courts, and I think we saw that with some very important insights being disclosed.”

Pham said he looks forward to participating in regulatory working groups and hopes other U.S. regulators, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, will participate. Work together to develop a “holistic approach” to cryptocurrency regulation.
Pham’s comments come days after San Francisco fintech firm Ripple won a partial victory in an ongoing court battle in which the SEC accused the firm of trading unregistered securities.
On July 14, Judge Analisa Torres of the Southern District of New York declared that XRP (XRP) does not constitute a security when marketed to individual investors on digital asset exchanges.
