币界网报道：Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse revealed he got an XRP tattoo to symbolize his unwavering commitment to the cryptocurrency amid its ongoing legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Speaking at the XRP Las Vegas 2024 conference, Garlinghouse emphasized that the tattoo represents his long-term belief in XRP and Ripple’s mission, despite regulatory challenges. The SEC lawsuit, filed in December 2020, alleges that Ripple conducted an unregistered securities offering by selling XRP. While a July 2023 court ruling declared XRP not a security in secondary market sales, the case remains unresolved regarding institutional sales. Garlinghouse criticized the SEC’s aggressive stance, calling it "regulation by enforcement" and highlighting the need for clearer crypto regulations in the U.S. He also expressed optimism about Ripple’s global growth, noting increasing adoption of its On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) product, which uses XRP for cross-border payments. The CEO’s tattoo gesture resonated with the XRP community, reinforcing confidence in the project’s future despite regulatory uncertainty. Meanwhile, Ripple continues to expand partnerships, recently collaborating with financial institutions in Africa and Asia to leverage XRP for faster, cheaper remittances. The outcome of the SEC case could set a significant precedent for how cryptocurrencies are classified and regulated in the U.S.
