The report also addressed the ongoing lawsuit against the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) — a lawsuit filed by the SEC in December 2020 alleging that the executives conducted an initial public offering (IPO) of XRP, which it deemed an unregistered security during the capital-raising period.
On April 22, Ripple responded to the SEC"s request for $2 billion in remedies, disagreeing with it. Ripple argued that the law doesn"t permit the SEC to demand disgorgement or interest on disgorgement unless they can prove someone was harmed.
“In terms of next steps, both parties will wait for the Judge to make a determination on the final remedies - likely in the coming months,” Ripple explained.
“Ripple remains confident that the Judge will approach the remedies phase fairly,” it added.
