The post Ripple Fights Back Against SEC Over Financial Disclosures in Ongoing XRP Lawsuit appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
To ensure a win in the upcoming trial, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been pushing the court to compel Ripple Labs to disclose its strategic financial statements regarding XRP sales since the beginning of the ongoing lawsuit in late 2020 to June 2023.
However, Ripple Labs’ lead attorneys, including Andrew J Ceresney, have now written a sur-reply to Hon. Sarah Netburn, a United States Magistrate Judge from the Southern District of New York, in response to the recent reply by the US SEC’s motion to compel the blockchain payment company to disclose its XRP financial statements for the past three years.
According to Ripple’s legal counsel, the demands made by the US SEC are ‘overly burdensome’ as the defendant did not disclose the exact financial details in the ongoing Zakinov lawsuit, as claimed.
“The Court should disregard these misstatements of fact raised for the first time in the SEC’s reply,” the letter noted.
Ripple Is Committed to Win the US Market
Ripple has indicated that it has substantial liquidity and financial support to run it through the regulatory hurdles. Notably, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has severally reiterated that an inevitable Initial Public Offering (IPO) for the blockchain payment will not be a fundraising ceremony but instead a step toward the next phase of growth.
Meanwhile, Ripple is part of Fairshake, a federal super PAC registered with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), that has raised $78 million to ensure leaders who support crypto and blockchain technology are elected.
XRP Price Action
After consolidating for the past five years, XRP is finally approaching the apex of the triangular pattern that signals an inevitable bullish breakout. However, XRP bulls must defend the rising trend that began last year to ensure a drop below 40 cents never happens again.
