Ripple has been long held in a legal war with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) since the regulators filed a lawsuit against the platform in 2020. Though the SEC accused Ripple of offering unregistered securities, Judge Analisa Torres’ ruling that XRP’s sales on public exchanges were not securities marked a partial victory for the platform.
Nonetheless, the Ripple-SEC saga does not end. Further developments, such as the SEC’s motion for interlocutory appeal, its rejection, the SEC’s opening brief, and other such developments on the case, emerged over time. While SEC’s opening brief was extended to March 22, Ripple’s opposition brief’s deadline was rescheduled to April 22. Meanwhile, Ripple, CEO Brad Garlinghouse, and subsidiary XRP II, LLC, faced another lawsuit in California for alleged violations of federal and California securities laws.
While Ripple’s opposition briefing nears, the community is keenly watching the market’s response. In addition, the opposition brief could influence the size of the penalty for breaching Section 5 of the 1933 Securities Act.
