Ah, the illustrious saga of Ripple Labs, a blockchain firm that has danced with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for over four long years, a courtship now nearing its grand finale—pending the court’s nod, of course.
In a post on the fateful day of March 25, the ever-eloquent chief legal officer, Stuart Alderoty, proclaimed what might be the final curtain call for the riveting drama known as SEC v. Ripple. With a flourish, he announced that Ripple would gracefully withdraw its cross-appeal against the SEC in the hallowed halls of the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The August 2024 decree from the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, which found Ripple liable for a staggering $125 million, will remain intact. However, in a twist worthy of a soap opera, the SEC will only clutch $50 million of that sum in escrow—like a child hoarding candy—while the rest will be returned to Ripple. 🍬
“The agency will also beseech the Court to lift the standard injunction that was imposed earlier at the SEC’s behest,” Alderoty quipped, with a hint of sarcasm. “All subject to the Commission’s vote, the drafting of final documents, and the usual court rigmarole.” Ah, the bureaucracy, that delightful dance of red tape! 🎭
Just a week prior, the ever-charismatic Ripple CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, had hinted that the SEC would indeed drop its appeal regarding the August 2024 judgment. Yet, as of this very moment, neither the SEC nor Ripple has graced the Second Circuit with any filings since the end of January. A mystery wrapped in an enigma, or perhaps just a case of legal lethargy? 🤔
This tale is still unfolding, and as the plot thickens, more juicy tidbits will be served up as they become available. Stay tuned! 📺
