In a move that could reshape the legal landscape for digital assets, Ripple has submitted a formal follow-up letter to the SEC's Crypto Task Force. According to reports, the company explicitly demanded regulatory parity for XRP with major assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, while further advocating for the recognition of stablecoins as eligible collateral within the financial ecosystem.
These legal maneuvers coincide with the completion of the XRP Ledger version 3.1.3 technical upgrade, which focused on network stability and lending protocol fixes. Compared to its peers, Ripple is seeking a regulatory breakthrough to close the valuation and operational gap with Ethereum, which enjoys clearer regulatory status in U.S. markets. Per market data, institutional funds are closely monitoring these developments, as experts suggest that accepting stablecoins as collateral could significantly boost network liquidity.
