Ripple vs SEC
The United States Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) is the top American financial regulator and this regulatory body is trying to forcibly regulate the crypto sector under traditional securities laws.
In Dec 2020, the SEC agency sued the San Francisco-based Ripple (XRP) to prove the nature of the XRP token as an unregistered security but failed.
Just a day ago, the SEC body sent a letter to the court judge to restart the case against Ripple, despite the court judge’s stated that XRP coin is a non-security token, in July XRP lawsuit ruling.
