Senator Gillibrand has been one of the most prominent voices in the Senate regarding cryptocurrency.

Alongside Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), she has co-authored comprehensive, bipartisan crypto legislation aimed at clarifying the roles of regulatory bodies like the SEC and CFTC.

Alderoty's specific mention of "market structure" refers to the ongoing efforts in Congress to define how digital assets are classified (e.g., as securities or commodities) and which agencies have jurisdiction over their trading.

Ripple has spent years embroiled in a high-profile legal battle with the SEC over the classification of its XRP token. Consequently, the company's executives have been highly vocal advocates for Congress to step in and create clear, statutory rules of the road rather than relying on regulation by enforcement.
