Ripple SEC Saga Continues as XRP Takes a Dive Against the USD

The ongoing Ripple lawsuit against the United States Security Exchange Commission has reached a pivotal level. Following the request for a summary judgment by the SEC, Ripple has executed its right to request a memorandum of law against the SEC. In light of the set of events, the XRP token has taken a deep dive against the USD over the last 24 hours.

Ripple vs SEC and What it Means for XRP

About one month after the SEC filed a motion for summary judgment against Ripple, the company behind the XRP token made a move. According to circulating reports, the request for summary judgment was supposed to stop the trial altogether. If this happens, the SEC would have won the case against Ripple and XRP may have been deemed security.

With the memorandum of law, Ripple is contesting the motion for summary judgment by the SEC. While the document is not available to the public, these types of documents are usually used to reinforce the defendant’s position. It means that Ripple is not backing down and is winning to take the case to the next level.
