SEC and Ripple

Security and Exchange Commission and Ripple have a case going on. The suit alleges that XRP at the time of launch was unregistered security and is a security to this date. It says that Ripple sold XRP of about $14.6B to fund the company.

This many people have called a stupid shot on behalf of the SEC who don’t understand the operation of cryptocurrency. Currently, the case is moving in favor of XRP but the case is quite slow in proceedings and might take some time before the final verdict is announced.
