Ripple vs. SEC: New Updates

Ripple has been debating with the Security Exchange Commission (SEC) for months regarding XRP. SEC sees XRP as a security, meaning Ripple’s assets fall under specific laws and regulations. James Filan, defense lawyer and former federal prosecutor, previously shared case updates and now posted more details in his recent tweet.

The posted documents outline SEC’s demands to the company and actions that Ripple was supposed to take. Based on the information, the case won’t have the finale this year. The last deadline for Expert Discovery is January 14th, 2021.
