Crypto: U.S. regulators have so far only helped China get ahead

Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen discussed U.S. regulators’ ignorance towards regulating the blockchain and crypto space and how it is helping China.

In a recent interview with Wall Street Journal reporter Paul Vigna, Ripple’s co-founder and executive chairman Chris Larsen said that the United States has been “slow to the game” in terms of experimenting, implementing and regulating the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry.

Larsen said that the U.S. must change its viewpoint toward blockchain and cryptocurrency, as the industry is already past the 2017 and 2018 hype. The war against initial coin offering scams is won, he said, and now regulators must address the industry so that they can compete with China’s blockchain and cryptocurrency progress.

According to Larsen, U.S. regulators have so far only helped China get ahead by “officially giving clarity to the two protocols effectively controlled by Chinese miners: Bitcoin and Ethereum.”

If regulators fail to provide more clarity on blockchain, cryptocurrencies and the supporting technologies that will power the next-generation global financial system, the U.S. could face a potential catastrophe, Larsen warned.
