Ripple urges SEC to confirm XRP status, proposes 'promise-based' regulatory framework

Published at 2026-01-12 18:45:59

Ripple submitted a policy letter to the SEC’s Crypto Task Force on Jan. 12, 2026, pressing the agency to confirm XRP’s standing after its litigation and proposing a “promise-based” regulatory framework. The proposal asks regulators to focus on issuer commitments, disclosures and conduct instead of relying only on token labels, aiming to create clearer criteria for compliance and enforcement.

Ripple and supporters say the framework could reduce legal uncertainty that has complicated exchange listings, custody decisions and institutional participation in crypto markets. Adoption would depend on the SEC Task Force’s response and any subsequent rulemaking or guidance; for market participants, the effort is notable because it seeks a practical path toward predictability in a post-enforcement landscape.
