Brad Garlinghouse has asked that Ripple be “held to the same regulatory standards as a bank” as the company awaits a decision on a national charter from the OCC.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said at a recent conference that crypto companies should receive the same benefits as traditional financial institutions when following the same laws and regulations.
Speaking at DC Fintech Week on Wednesday, Garlinghouse said it was unlikely for regulators such as the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to roll back their policies after the potential departure of Chair Paul Atkins or US President Donald Trump, who nominated the head of the agency.
However, he also criticized the disparity between the treatment of crypto companies and traditional financial institutions, like banks.
