Following US President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of cryptocurrency advocate Paul Atkins as the next Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), prominent figures from blockchain company Ripple, which has been in a long-standing legal battle with the agency, expressed their strong support for the decision. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse called Atkins’ nomination “an extraordinary choice,” signaling optimism about the SEC’s shift in approach to digital assets. “Paul Atkins as SEC chief will bring common sense back to the agency,” Garlinghouse said. “Together with Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda, it is time to swiftly and definitively end the era of crypto prohibition, restoring freedom of choice, economic growth, and innovation.” Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty echoed Garlinghouse’s sentiments, praising Atkins’ alignment with Peirce and Uyeda, two current SEC commissioners known for their pro-crypto views. “The trio of Atkins, Peirce, and Uyeda at the SEC will not only bring common sense back to the institution, but also provide true investor protection,” Alderoty said.
