Ripple CLO refutes claims that cryptocurrency is merely a tool for "crime and corruption"

Jinse Finance reported that Stuart Alderoty from Ripple stated in an X post that The New York Times has published a "guest article" for the second time in just a few weeks, portraying cryptocurrency as a tool for crime and corruption. This narrative may seem convenient, but it is lazy and inaccurate. Cryptocurrency is a technology used by more than 55 million Americans, with over three-quarters saying it has improved their lives; it helps them remit money, prove ownership, and build new forms of business on transparent, traceable ledgers. Corruption and crime do not thrive in the open. The real story is about how ordinary Americans use digital assets to save time, reduce costs, and achieve financial freedom. This story deserves to be told. That is exactly what we are doing.
