Ripple counters SEC’s hefty $2B fine with a modest $10M proposal in a landmark case

Ripple has defended itself against the SEC’s demand for roughly $2 billion in fines for selling its cryptocurrency, XRP, to institutional investors without registration. The corporation submitted a lengthy 186-page statement accepting the court’s decision and adjusting its business procedures appropriately. Ripple contests the SEC’s request for disgorgement, claiming that there is no proof of financial loss to investors as a result of Ripple’s conduct. The corporation argues for a far lesser civil penalty than the SEC seeks, stating that $10 million is consistent with precedent and the nature of the violation. The XRP legal community supports Ripple’s argument, with

Ripple CEO Hints at Potential US Bank Adoption: Key to XRP’s Success?

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently hinted at a significant development: the potential adoption of XRP by US banks. In a video shared by blockchain influencer Ben Armstrong, a well-known voice in the industry, it was claimed that the adoption of XRP by US banks could be the “key to XRP’s success.” Ripple faced significant legal challenges for over two years after the SEC sued the platform in 2020, accusing it of conducting an unregistered digital asset securities offering that raised more than $1.3 billion. Despite Ripple’s vision for global expansion and increased XRP adoption, legal hurdles remained significant. However, a

SEC Chair Gensler Faces Accusations of Bias and Prejudice from Ripple CLO

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chairman, Gary Gensler, recently declared at a gathering that “we [regulators] are partners of honest business and prosecutors of dishonesty.” But others in the crypto world took exception to this declaration, and Stuart Alderoty, Chief Legal Officer of Ripple Labs, quickly refuted Gensler’s claims. Despite being sued, Alderoty noted that Ripple was never accused of “dishonesty.” This refutes Gensler’s assertion that the SEC only targets dishonest companies. Alderoty went on to say that Gensler has perpetuated the bias in the Ripple case by bringing lawsuits without doing adequate investigations, continuing the biased start
