 <p>Moreover, he added that the US should learn from Singapore, the U.K., the UAE and Switzerland to become a <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>-friendly hub.&nbsp;</p>

 <p>According to a report on Sept. 6, the investment migration company Henley and Partners ranks Singapore, the UAE, Hong Kong, and Switzerland as the most crypto-friendly regions for their tax policies, adoption rate and technology infrastructure.&nbsp;</p> 
 <p>In his speech, Garlinghouse pointed out the SEC’s lawsuits against Ripple and Grayscale that the regulator seems to be losing.</p> 
 <blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
  <p>“I think you’re seeing the momentum shift. I think that it used to be that a lot of judges were like: ‘Well, the SEC is always right,’ and they weren’t fighting that [but] I think you’re starting to see the pattern change.”</p> <cite>Brad Garlinghouse said at Token 2049 in Singapore</cite> 
 </blockquote> 
 <p>Furthermore, the U.S. SEC called Ripple nothing but a computer code with no “intrinsic” value which faced the company’s counter. The U.S.-based firm claimed that XRP is a bridge cryptocurrency and could be used for cross-border transactions.</p> 
 <p>After the court ruled in favor of Ripple and its native <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>currency, XRP, the SEC urged an appeal, saying these “knotty legal problems” must be reviewed.&nbsp;</p> 
 <p>Ultimately, Garlinghouse concluded that his firm would “build the right product” and “focus on the technology and to support responsible regulation.”</p>
