Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse criticized The New York Times, accusing it of publishing biased and misleading stories about the crypto industry after a report on the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) easing crypto enforcement under President Donald Trump’s second term.

Hitting back on X, Garlinghouse said the report was “another crypto hit piece.” He argued that the paper continues to recycle the same narrative while ignoring key court rulings that undermined the SEC’s approach during the Biden administration. He accused the NYT of relying on “half-truths and outright omissions” to justify what he called an “illegal War on Crypto” waged by the previous administration.

“False and Failed Narrative”

Garlinghouse specifically criticized the report for failing to mention multiple federal judges who rebuked the SEC, including US Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn, who said the agency’s leadership failed to show “faithful allegiance to the law,” another who ruled the SEC’s actions were “arbitrary and capricious,” and a third who fined the regulator for making false statements to the court.

He also questioned why the NYT did not publish similar headlines during the Biden years, when the SEC aggressively pursued crypto firms, including Ripple, through what many in the industry viewed as regulation by enforcement. While adding that the coverage was actively advancing a “false and failed narrative,” Garlinghouse wrote,

His comments came in response to a December 14 investigation by the NYT, which claimed that the SEC has pulled back from more than 60% of ongoing crypto cases since Trump returned to office, pausing litigation, reducing penalties, or dismissing cases altogether.

The report found that several of the benefiting firms, including Ripple, had financial or political ties to Trump, but stated that it found no evidence of direct pressure from the president or of improper influence by the companies. In Ripple’s case, the SEC attempted to reduce a previously court-ordered $125 million penalty to $50 million, a move that was ultimately rejected by a judge.

NYT Coverage “Crypto Dementia”

Alex Thorn, head of firmwide research at Galaxy Digital, also criticized the NYT and said that the coverage relied on a false premise. In a post on X, Thorn argued that the report treated the Biden administration’s crackdown on crypto as normal when it was anything but.

Tether’s Uruguay Bitcoin Mining Plans Could Be Over

The post Tether’s Uruguay Bitcoin Mining Plans Could Be Over appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Tether’s push to expand Bitcoin mining in Uruguay has stalled after the state utility cut power to its local partner.  UTE, the national electricity provider, halted supply in late July over unpaid bills totaling nearly $5 million. The dispute also froze expansion efforts in the country’s Flores and Florida regions. Tether’s LATAM Bitcoin Mining Expansion Plan Hits Major Roadblock The USDT stablecoin operator entered Uruguay in 2023, promising renewable-powered Bitcoin mining. Uruguay’s abundant wind and hydro capacity made it a prime site for sustainable energy projects.  Sponsored Sponsored Tether partnered with a licensed operator, Microfin, to build facilities and secure long-term electricity deals. However, tension grew as costs and guarantees mounted. UTE required large deposits to secure the energy contracts, while Microfin sought tariff adjustments.  Negotiations led to a memorandum of understanding in June, but arrears remained unresolved. The failure to settle debts triggered the shutdown. Crypto Twitter Criticizing Tether’s Uruguay Backtrack. Source: X Tether had announced broader plans to control about 1% of the global Bitcoin network. The firm pledged hundreds of millions of dollars in South American mining projects, including sites in Paraguay.  The Uruguayan expansion was meant to anchor those ambitions. The company has emphasized that USDT reserves remain separate from its operational ventures. Mining revenue and energy assets are intended to diversify Tether’s business beyond stablecoin issuance.  Earlier this year, it also acquired a stake in Latin American agribusiness to link stablecoin use to commodity trade. The setback in Uruguay raises questions about the viability of energy-intensive mining in high-cost markets. While Paraguay and Texas have attracted miners with cheaper electricity, Uruguay’s grid is stricter on guarantees.  For now, Tether’s talks with UTE continue, but the timeline for restarting operations is unclear. Overall, this highlights the risks in tying stablecoin companies to volatile mining ventures. Tether…
