What else did the head of the department say


The official noted that his Commission is currently considering and evaluating the judge's decision. He was asked a question regarding the preparation of rules for the cryptocurrency industry. To this he replied that the time has not yet come, as the trials are ongoing. He also made a reminder about the norms that are already actively working in the industry of stock exchanges and securities.


The head was also asked why the regulator does not develop specific laws for the crypto market, but uses forced regulation. He replied that the agency has already developed "part of the rules", which include various recommendations with comments.


Recall that the lawsuit against Ripple was sent back in 2020. She is accused of distributing unregistered securities, which means native tokens of the platform.
