SEC will go to court to collect $2 billion fine from Ripple Labs

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) wants to collect a fine of $2 billion from Ripple Labs, according to the head of Ripple’s legal department, Stuart Alderoti.

According to the lawyer, on March 26, 2024, the regulator will present documents containing the essence of the claim. They are part of a multi-year dispute between the SEC and Ripple Labs.

“Our response will be filed next month. We have repeatedly seen that the regulator uses false, incorrectly worded statements. Instead of faithfully applying the law, the SEC continues to seek to intimidate Ripple and the industry as a whole,” Alderoti wrote.

In turn, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said that the SEC has “repeatedly acted outside the law.” He also reproached Commission Chairman Gary Gensler for “insufficient attention to the Sam Bankman-Fried case”:

Let us recall that in July 2023, Ripple Labs won a partial victory in a long-term lawsuit against the SEC. The court concluded that the sale of the XRP token through exchanges does not constitute an offering of securities.
