In the ongoing clash between Ripple Labs and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), things are heating up. The SEC wants Ripple to spill the beans on its financial moves from late 2020 to June 2023. Ripple’s response, led by Andrew J Ceresney, has been fired back in a sur-reply to Hon.

The legal team wants the court to disregard these misstatements.

“The Court should disregard these misstatements of fact raised for the first time in the SEC’s reply,” the letter noted

Eyes on the Prize!

While the legal drama unfolds, Ripple wants everyone to know it’s financially fit to handle regulatory challenges. Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, is clear that the upcoming Initial Public Offering (IPO) isn’t just about raising funds but is a strategic step toward the next phase of growth.

Getting political?

In a surprising move, Ripple joins Fairshake, a political action committee registered with the Federal Election Commission (FEC). This PAC has raised a whopping $78 million, aiming to support leaders favoring crypto and blockchain technology. Ripple’s political play adds an interesting layer to its overall strategy.

But, caution for XRP enthusiasts: defending the upward trend started last year is crucial to avoid a drop below 40 cents.
