Ongoing SEC Tussle

Additionally, the report touched on the ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the US SEC. The SEC filed the lawsuit in December 2020, claiming that Ripple’s executives raised funds through an IPO of XRP, which it considered an unregistered security at the time.

In response to the SEC’s demand for $2 billion in remedies, Ripple expressed its disagreement with the proposal on April 22. Ripple contended that the SEC does not have the legal authority to seek disgorgement or interest on disgorgement without proof of harm to someone.
