The lawsuit alleges that Ripple and its executives violated US securities laws by offering unregistered securities through the sale of XRP tokens. Ripple allegedly raised $1.3 billion through these sales.The SEC believes XRP should be classified as a security and that Ripple should have therefore registered the offering with the SEC. This would have required Ripple to provide investors with the required disclosures and financial information.Ripple denied the allegations and argues that XRP is not a security but rather a digital asset like Bitcoin or Ethereum. The company claims that XRP is not controlled by Ripple and that it functions as a decentralized currency that is used for cross-border payments and remittances.The outcome of the lawsuit could have significant implications for the wider cryptocurrency industry and how digital assets are regulated in the US.<hr>The world of Web3 can be quite a whirlwind.
