Ripple (XRP) Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty announced that the firm rejected a settlement offer from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) three years ago.
The SEC has proposed declaring Ripple’s XRP coin a security and giving it a short period of time to adjust to the market.
According to Alderoty’s statement, Ripple rejected the offer, standing firm on two fundamental points: First, their belief that XRP is not a security, and second, the SEC’s cryptocurrency claims that it has failed to establish a framework for unit compatibility.
Despite the high risks and widespread skepticism about their chances of success, Ripple chose to fight the case, according to Alderoty. Their goal was clear: to show that XRP is not inherently a security.
According to the manager, the risk paid off. Ripple triumphed by managing to expose what Alderoty described as the “hypocritical tyranny” of the SEC. This landmark case not only vindicated Ripple, but also breathed new life into the US cryptocurrency industry.
