Ripple Executive Disputes WSJ Label for Crypto Regulation Supporters

Ripple's Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty is pushing back against a Wall Street Journal editorial that referred to supporters of cryptocurrency regulation as 'the crypto boys.'

Alderoty argues that this label misrepresents the millions of Americans who now own digital assets. According to him, roughly 67 million Americans currently hold cryptocurrency.

What's striking is that more holders are over the age of 55 than under 25, and about one-third of U.S. crypto owners are women.

Alderoty described these holders as 'teachers, construction workers, veterans, nurses, parents, and small business owners.'
