Ripple case history

SEC filed a lawsuit against the company in 2020, accusing it of selling unregistered securities through tokens XRP. In July 2023, the court ruled that the exchange of coins on the stock exchange was legal, but the offer to institutional investors violated the law. Ripple was fined at $125 million Instead of the initially required SEC $2 billion.

Clarity ACT and regulation

The end of the case coincided with the promotion Clarity Act – a draft law that creates a common regulatory framework for the crypto sector. Congress approved the initiative on July 18, and the Republicans plan to accept it by the end of September. Democrats, including the head of the financial committee Maxine Waters, criticize the bill for lack of consumer protection and national security.
