Brief History of XRP legal battle with US SEC
XRP's SEC Legal Battle
XRP, a cryptocurrency is associated with Ripple Labs, was involved in a legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC filed a lawsuit against Ripple Labs, its CEO Brad Garling house, and its co-founder Chris Larsen in December 2020.
The SEC alleged that XRP was a security and that Ripple had conducted an unregistered securities offering by selling XRP. Ripple, on the other hand, argued that XRP should be classified as a cryptocurrency and not a security, and therefore not subject to SEC regulations.
The legal battle continued throughout 2021, with various motions, hearings, and legal proceedings to date. In March 2021, the SEC won a key ruling when the court denied Ripple's request to access the SEC's internal documents and communications regarding cryptocurrencies. This ruling was seen as a setback for Ripple's defense.
The legal battle is still ongoing, and there is no final resolution. The outcome of the case could have significant implications for the classification of cryptocurrencies and their regulatory status in the United States.
