  <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-ripple-fuels-uk-governmental-dialogue-on-crypto-strong"><strong>Ripple Fuels UK Governmental Dialogue on Crypto</strong></h2> 
  <p>Ripple has spoken in favor of the UK Government’s and Parliament’s engagement with crypto-assets. The company specifically commended the Financial Services and Markets Bill, HM Treasury’s proposed Crypto-Asset Engagement Group, and the Financial Conduct Authority’s regulatory sandboxes, all indicative of the government’s earnest approach towards the sector. Ripple is hopeful about more such initiatives in the future.</p> 
  <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-call-for-customized-regulation"><strong>Call for Customized Regulation</strong></h2> 
  <p>Although Ripple acknowledges a shared sentiment for improved regulation of the sector, they suggest that such regulation be adaptable and cognizant of the unique characteristics of the industry.&nbsp;</p> 
  <p>The company emphasizes the distinction between B2B and B2C crypto-assets, and highlights the urgent need for enhanced understanding and awareness of the various types of crypto-assets, moving beyond the narrow scope of ‘meme-coins’ or pump-and-dump schemes.</p> 
  <p>XRP, Ripple’s crypto-asset, has been consciously developed with a minimal environmental footprint, a significant consideration as blockchain technology often comes with high energy consumption. Ripple maintains its commitment to the sustainability discourse in the face of the growing adoption of crypto-assets worldwide.&nbsp;</p> 
  <p>The company underscores the compatibility of crypto-assets with a low-carbon economy that prioritizes renewable energy and minimizes environmental harm. In a prime example of this commitment, Ripple joined hands with Energy Web (EW) and the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) in 2020 to reduce the carbon footprint of public blockchains.&nbsp;</p> 
  <p>As part of this initiative, they commenced with the XRP Ledger, the first major global blockchain to be decarbonized. On a corporate level, Ripple told the UK government that it has set the ambitious goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030 or earlier.</p>
