Alderoty Slams 'Crypto Boys' Label, Cites Diverse US Crypto Ownership
Ripple's Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty has pushed back against a recent Wall Street Journal editorial that referred to supporters of cryptocurrency regulation as 'the crypto boys.'
Alderoty claims that the industry's user base is far more diverse than its critics tend to believe, citing figures from the US population.
According to him, approximately 67 million Americans currently hold cryptocurrency, with about one-third being women. Furthermore, more holders are over the age of 55 than under 25.
Alderoty emphasized that these individuals come from various backgrounds, including teachers, construction workers, veterans, nurses, parents, and small business owners.
His comments came in response to a highly controversial Wall Street Journal Opinion editorial criticizing the Senate's proposed CLARITY Act.
