The Current State of the Lawsuit
The SEC filed a lawsuit against Ripple in 2020, alleging that the company sold unregistered securities in the form of its XRP token. The lawsuit could have far-reaching implications for the regulatory landscape of digital assets, and cryptocurrency investors are closely watching its progress.
In July 2023, the court ruled that XRP is not a security and non-institutional XRP sales do not constitute securities offerings. However, institutional sales do, and the lawsuit is in the remedies phase to determine the appropriate penalty for Ripple’s violation of securities laws. Although the SEC Initially requested a $1.95 billion penalty, Ripple countered this, arguing that the penalty should not exceed $10 million.

The SEC’s Upcoming Meeting
The SEC’s closed-door meetings are for sensitive matters, such as investigations and potential enforcement actions. The commission is not required to disclose the specific topics covered during these meetings. However, the agenda of the meeting has generated significant interest and scrutiny.
If the SEC and Ripple settle, it would mark a significant development in the case and could potentially signal a shift in the SEC’s approach to crypto regulation. SEC Chair Gary Gensler has been heavily criticized for his lawsuit-heavy approach to crypto regulation in the U.S., as this approach has stifled innovation and put the U.S. behind the rest of the world in cryptocurrency adoption.
However, it is important to note that there is no guarantee that a settlement will be reached and the case could continue through the legal process. As the July 25 meeting approaches, market participants will closely monitor developments for any indications of a potential resolution to the lawsuit.
