Ripple Executives On Summary Judgement Anniversary

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinhouse and CLO Stuart Alderoty reflected on the anniversary of summary judgment, a key ruling that granted XRP a non-security status. Garlinghouse said it was a very good day for Ripple and the entire crypto industry, which is facing an unlawful war waged by the U.S. SEC.

“He runs an agency that espouses the value of transparency. In fact he sends people to jail for not providing accurate transparency… yet, somehow, he believes transparency doesn’t apply to him and this SEC.”

Stuart Alderoty asserts summary judgment in the Ripple vs SEC lawsuit was a watershed moment written in law that XRP in and of itself is not a security. The ruling also disclosed the SEC’s gross overreach and lack of faithful allegiance to the law.

Regarding Gary Gensler he said — “Don’t be distracted by the SEC’s continued efforts to mire Ripple and the industry in the litigation trenches – that runway is running out for the SEC. Ripple and the entire industry has and will emerge stronger, long after Chair Gensler is gone.”
