Turning Point in the SEC vs Ripple Case

The SEC vs. Ripple case took an unexpected turn when both parties filed for summary judgment, a term used to request an immediate ruling.

The case has been in the purview of the courts since 22 December 2020.

Brief About the SEC vs Ripple Labs Case

The whole case is around the concept of “SECURITIES” to decide whether XRP(Ripple Coin) is a security or not.

Between 2013 and 2020, Ripple Labs sold XRP Coins to raise over $1.3 Billion.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission filed a lawsuit against Ripple Labs, claiming that Ripple Labs co-founders Christian Larsen and Bradley Garlinghouse made illegitimate gains by selling those Ripple Coins(XRP).

According to the SEC, the Ripple Coin(XRP) was offered to investors, but they were not listed as security.

On Sept 18, Stuart Alderoty, Ripple Lab’s Counsel commented on the SEC vs Ripple case that even after 2 years, SEC could not find anything to prove that Ripple Qualified for the Howey Test (a US Supreme Court Mandated test for checking if an instrument is a Security).
