Ripple vs. SEC: XRP price on Thursday witnessed a 4% upside move defying the broader crypto market selloff. The price increase is a surprise but welcome move by the XRP community. Ripple to file its reply is a key development for the lawsuit now after the SEC opposed Ripple’s motion to strike the declaration of Andrea Fox (Fox Declaration). 
The&nbsp;<a href="https://coingape.com/sec-files-opposition-to-ripples-motion-to-strike-expert-data/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SEC</a>&nbsp;claims the Fox Declaration is a&nbsp;summary report on XRP institutional sales, not an expert report. Also, the SEC argues it is permissible summary evidence under the law, similar to the Ferrante Declaration filed earlier. However, Ripple will likely contest the inclusion of pecuniary harm from the declaration.

Judge Sarah Netburn entered a scheduling order regarding Ripple Labs’ motion to strike new expert materials the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) submitted to support remedies and final judgment against Ripple to pay almost $2 billion in penalties. 
Ripple is to file its reply three business days after the SEC’s opposition on April 29, as per the order by Judge Netburn. Lawyers claimed the SEC came back strongly against the SEC, but Ripple argument still holds relevance if didn’t dispute the summary of financial records. 
The SEC refuted Ripple’s argument and stated Fox did not give an opinion and told what counsel told her to check whether some institutional buyers suffered pecuniary harm as others received higher discounts. 
Pro-XRP lawyer <a href="https://coingape.com/ripple-vs-sec-news-lawyers-discloses-possible-verdict-in-expert-witness-motion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bill Morgan</a> said the SEC’s argument on pecuniary harm suffered by some institutional buyers is still weak enough for disgorgement. 
Ripple is likely to ask the judge to strike the Fox Declaration as it was filed after the discovery deadline. However, it’s up to Judge Netburn to decide whether to include the summary but remove the pecuniary harm statement the SEC included in the remedies-related brief. Also, the defense team to argue related Fox Declaration used by the SEC to seek disgorgement and high penalties. 
Meanwhile, the SEC will file a reply on May 6 to Ripple’s claim that the total penalties considering Torres ruling on XRP institutional sales don’t exceed $10 million.
