SEC vs. Ripple Lawsuit  

In the recent development of the SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit, the chief executive officer of Ripple has filed a motion. That’s to obtain an international discovery against the claims from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The defendant’s Brad Garlinghouse and Chris Larsen, aided in the sale of unregistered securities. According to the recent filing, the defendant sought documents from a cryptocurrency exchange operator, Binance Holdings Limited.  

Garlinghouse believes that the listed entity will help in providing unique information and documents concerning this case. The process by which transactions were allegedly conducted in XRP on foreign digital asset trading platforms.

The SEC has filed a lawsuit against Ripple CEO that he sold more than 357 million units of XRP to the public in the market. The agency was after the disgorgement based on the sale made on a digital asset platform located outside the United States. Whereas, according to law, the disgorgement applies only to the domestic sale of securities. Ripple CEO has argued that the sale of XRP was made on the digital asset platform outside the premises of the United States.

The Ripple’s Chief Executive Officer, Brad Garlinghouse, is likely to use the documents provided by Binance. It will be used as proof that most sales of XRP that formally took place were outside the United States, and this will be enough jurisdiction that would matter to SEC.

These developments surrounding the Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit kept the cryptocurrency under pressure. Hence, XRP/USD turned red on Wednesday.

The declining prices of XRP/USD were caped due to the prevailing weakness in the U.S. dollar as it fell on Wednesday. It reached the 91.89 level as investors were cautious before the release of U.S. jobs data scheduled for Friday.
