- XRP might break new records if a bull run ensues following the verdict.
- $80 Million Worth XRP has been transferred to an unknown wallet.
The SEC’s request to submit a Sur Sur-Reply in support of its motion to strike against Ripple was refused by District Judge Torres. Ripple Labs Inc. and two of its executives, Christian Larsen and Bradley Garlinghouse, were sued by the SEC in December 2020 for allegedly selling over $1.3 billion in XRP, unregistered securities, to the public.
The Ripple community has been anxiously expecting the ultimate verdict in the case against the SEC, which has used different techniques to postpone the process.
On February 23, District Judge Analisa Torres dismissed the SEC’s petition to file the Sur Sur-Reply in New York, enabling the Ripple community to breathe a sigh of relief. The momentum has shifted in Ripple’s favor. However, there is still a long way to go in the legal struggle. The price of XRP is directly linked to the result of the SEC court action. XRP might break new records if a bull run ensues following the verdict.
