So, yes, Ripple may not be &#8220;the company behind XRP&#8221;, but then again, we&#8217;ll never know.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve witnessed the 2017 bull run, then you must be aware of the now-deceased, XRP army, and the flurry of arguments amongst investors pointing out that XRP was, in fact, a security. You must also know that this lawsuit was a long-time coming.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps, Japan&#8217;s FSA&#8217;s decision on XRP might have been a relief to most users, however, the SEC clearly seems to think otherwise.\u00a0 In fact, there is a long-running class-action lawsuit filed by XRP investors against Ripple. While a portion of Ripple&#8217;s motion to dismiss these cases were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/ripple-has-mixed-success-in-motion-to-dismiss-lawsuit-alleging-securities-fraud\">successful<\/a>, the judge hasn&#8217;t dismissed the lawsuit, which goes to show that the case might have some validity to it.<\/p>\n<h4>The Lawsuit<\/h4>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2020\/12\/21\/ripple-to-be-sued-by-sec-cryptocurrency-xrp\/\">Fortune<\/a>, the lawsuit will be filed at a future date, and that Chris Larsen [co-founder] and Garlinghouse will be named as defendants alongside the firm. Brad Garlinghouse&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bgarlinghouse\/status\/1341193536780214273\">reply<\/a> to this was,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Today, the SEC voted to attack crypto. Chairman Jay Clayton &#8211; in his final act &#8211; is picking winners and trying to limit US innovation in the crypto industry to BTC and ETH.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This tweet from Garlinghouse addressed the fact that the SEC Chairman Jay Clayton has considered both <a href=\"https:\/\/eng.ambcrypto.com\/category\/bitcoin-btc-news\/\">BTC<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/eng.ambcrypto.com\/category\/ethereum-eth-news\/\">ETH<\/a> as commodities and not XRP. Garlinghouse further added,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The SEC&#8230;should not be able to cherry-pick what innovation looks like (especially when their decision directly benefits China).&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Perhaps, this statement addresses how China is already waging a cold war against the US by developing its own CBDC. Supporting Garlinghouse&#8217;s claims was SBI&#8217;s Yoshitaka Kitao, who <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/yoshitaka_kitao\/status\/1341217896274378754\">tweeted<\/a>,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Japan\u2019s FSA has already made it clear that XRP is not a security. I\u2019m optimistic that Ripple will prevail in the final ruling in the US. SBI Holdings remains a steadfast partner to Ripple, and looks forward to expanding together in Asia&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The SEC or anyone concerned has declined to comment on the matter. However, it will be interesting to see how this plays out for Ripple, XRP, and its community.<\/p>\n<p>Crypto Twitter, however, is reacting to the news as expected. Ethereum&#8217;s creator Vitalik Buterin <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VitalikButerin\/status\/1341219519545556992?s=20\">stated<\/a>,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Ripple\/XRP team is sinking to new levels of strangeness. They&#8217;re claiming that their shitcoin should not be called a security for *public policy reasons*, namely because Bitcoin and Ethereum are &#8216;Chinese-controlled'&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Leading exchange, Binance&#8217;s CEO, however, was neutral and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cz_binance\/status\/1341223594857095171?s=20\">stated<\/a> that we should be &#8220;decentralized&#8221; and not &#8220;divided&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ripple&#8217;s CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced that the company is being sued by the Securities and Exchange Commission [SEC] and highlighted that this step taken by the SEC was an &#8220;attack of crypto&#8221;.\u00a0Unsurprisingly, the SEC&#8217;s lawsuit is based on the fact that Ripple is selling unregistered securities and is yet to be announced.
