Ripple Challenges SEC with Terraform Labs Settlement in $2B Penalty Dispute
Ripple Labs, the company behind the XRP cryptocurrency, is embroiled in a legal tussle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over a proposed $2 billion penalty. This dispute centers on the SEC's allegations that XRP constitutes an unregistered security, a claim that has shadowed Ripple since late 2020 when the SEC initiated legal proceedings against the company and its executives.
