Crypto company Ripple expects SEC verdict in six months – The National

Cryptocurrency and blockchain company Ripple expects a decision in a US Securities and Exchange Commission lawsuit to come in the next three to six months.

The SEC initiated a lawsuit against Ripple in 2020, alleging that the company illegally sold XRP — a cryptocurrency created in 2012 — to investors without first registering it as a security.

The company has spent $200 million defending itself against the SEC lawsuit, Brad Garlinghouse, chief executive of Ripple, told the Dubai FinTech Summit on Monday.
