Ripple, the San Francisco-based blockchain firm known for its XRP-powered cross-border payment services, has won a major legal battle against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC filed a lawsuit against Ripple in December 2020 over $1.2 billion worth of alleged unregistered security sales of XRP.
In the latest development, a U.S. court ruled in favour of Ripple Labs, XRP II LLC, and CEO Brad Garlinghouse. Judge Phyllis Hamilton granted Ripple’s motion for a final judgement on certain class claims, narrowing the scope of the case and scheduling a trial for January 2025. This is a significant win for Ripple in its prolonged legal battle over securities sales.
