“As many of you know, a little over four years ago, the US SEC filed a lawsuit against Ripple. I am finally able to announce that this case is over. It’s over.” With these words, Brad Garlinghouse officially announces the end of one of the crypto sector’s longest legal battles.

According to the shared video, Brad accused the SEC under the command of Gary Gansler of not acting to protect investors. In fact, he expressly stated that the agency itself was one of the main “manipulators”, with the aim of winning at any cost, creating a real “legal terror”.

As reported, the SEC is currently ready to withdraw the appeal pending approval from the commission. However, the agreement between the two parties is not yet clear, so we will have to wait for further official communications.

XRP soars above $2.5 on the wave of a new future

The wave brought about by the regulatory change taking place in the USA is benefitting the entire sector, even more so now that this legal dispute has been settled.

This dispute began back in 2020, with the SEC labeling XRP as a security due to its distribution and management processes. In this regard, you can learn more about Ripple, XRP and the lawsuit with the SEC in the new video just published on our channel.
