<p>On February 6, the <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/ripple-vs-sec-sec-lawsuit-enters-remedies-phase-xrps-fate-uncertain/">Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)</a> dropped a bombshell with strict rules affecting individuals providing liquidity. This includes assets like securities, government securities, cryptocurrencies, and DeFi, making it necessary for them to register with the agency.</p> 
<p>The <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/sec-drops-the-boomshell-on-crypto-defi-dealers-beware-big-changes-in-rule-unveiled/">SEC’s rules</a> now demand that liquidity providers on Automated Market Makers (AMMs) register with the agency if they deal with securities. This has sparked questions among crypto enthusiasts, especially in the XRP community, about the potential effects on the upcoming XRPL AMM platform.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-xrpl-amm-what-you-need-to-know">XRPL AMM: What You Need to Know</h2> 
<p>Within the XRP community, there’s eager anticipation for the launch of the XRP Ledger’s Automated Market Maker (AMM). The XLS-30D amendment is expected to empower XRP holders to earn passive income by becoming liquidity providers on the XRPL for various assets.</p>

<p>However, pro-crypto attorney Bill Morgan raises concerns about how these regulations might negatively impact entities providing liquidity in the crypto market. Morgan questions the SEC’s focus on liquidity provision and its potential to disrupt existing structures.</p>

  <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
   <p lang="en" dir="ltr">I wonder which entities in the crypto market will be most harmed by this penalising of liquidity provision. Why is the SEC and the vested interests it serves so concerned about liquidity provision. Decentralization of liquidity provision it seems will upset some apple carts. <a href="https://t.co/etbgXsNSEq">https://t.co/etbgXsNSEq</a> <a href="https://t.co/9prSVPXcCy">pic.twitter.com/9prSVPXcCy</a></p>— bill morgan (@Belisarius2020) <a href="https://twitter.com/Belisarius2020/status/1754987859155828935?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 6, 2024</a>

<p>Despite concerns, there’s a silver lining for retail liquidity providers on the XRPL AMM and other DeFi platforms. The SEC guidelines clarify that these regulations won’t apply to liquidity providers with assets valued at less than $50 million. Also, since <a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-prediction/xrp-ripple-price-prediction/">XRP</a> is not considered a security, liquidity providers for XRP might be less affected.</p>

<p>Attorney <a href="https://twitter.com/Belisarius2020/status/1754973783096762472">Morgan highlights</a> other consequences of the regulations that the XRP community may not have fully considered. The rules now say both centralized and decentralized exchanges might need to register as an alternative trading system (ATS) or an exchange with the SEC, potentially including the XRPL DEX.</p>

<p>Also, if a business gives a lot of liquidity in its regular business will now be under regulation. Simply providing liquidity could be seen as a dealing activity under the latest rule.</p> 
<p>Morgan also <a href="https://twitter.com/Belisarius2020/status/1754985247043981334">points to Ripple’s</a> Liquidity Hub, a tool aiding businesses with crypto liquidity needs. He raises concerns about whether the Liquidity Hub might be impacted by the new rule.</p>
