“# Garlinghouse: Ripple would still thrive even if XRP were declared a security <\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse believes his company can still thrive under a hypothetical scenario where XRP is declared a security by U.S. lawmakers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Appearing<\/a> on episode 439 of the Pomp Podcast, Garlinghouse talked about the implications of XRP being declared a security by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. He said such a position would run contrary to the prevailing view among G20 markets. <\/p>\n

While acknowledging that \u201cit\u2019s very hard to look at XRP as a security,\u201d Garlinghouse said<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know if XRP were deemed a security here in the United States that, you know, we have other G20 markets that have taken a different view. I\u2019m not aware of any market globally that thinks that XRP is a security.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Garlinghouse added that \u201cmore than 90% of RippleNet customers are out of the United States,\u201d suggesting that a securities designation wouldn\u2019t necessarily hinder the company\u2019s underlying business. <\/p>\n

If XRP were declared a security in the United States, investors (including Ripple) would need to complete broker-dealer registration with the SEC. <\/p>\n

XRP\u2019s regulatory status has been the subject of intense scrutiny for the past few years, with veteran trader Peter Brandt being the latest public figure to declare it a security. <\/p>\n

On the opposite side of the spectrum, Congressman Tom Emmer, a Republican from Minnesota, argued in August that XRP is not a security. <\/p>\n

Ripple has been the subject of a class-action lawsuit from disgruntled investors claiming that XRP is a security. The lawsuit alleges false advertising and unfair competition chargest against Ripple. An amended filing from March claimed that Garlinghouse was shopping XRP to prospective investors while simultaneously liquidating his holdings. <\/p>\n

XRP is back in the limelight this month following an explosive rally that pushed the cryptocurrency above a multi-year range. It was the subject of heavy profit-taking on Thursday, falling more than 28%. <\/p>\n
