Now that I’m well over a year away from my work experience at Ripple, I feel more comfortable talking about my experience there. All good things of course. Ripple is probably the only company in the world with the focus, resources, and momentum to truly disrupt global payments.

When I was working on a stablecoin, I got a legal opinion from renowned law firm Wilson Sonsini. They said that issuance of the stablecoin by a trust company, (e.g. Ripple’s Standard Custody subsidiary), would make it least likely to be a security.
LOL is the SEC speaking about the Ripple Stablecoin and calls it an unregistered security before anything is even issued or details disclosed ? 🤦♂️

FYI: The SEC’s logic behind calling stablecoins “unregistered securities” is due to the fact that stablecoins are backed by securities, such as treasury bills or commercial paper.
