Ripple - CEO
Real-time gross settlement system Ripple will consider going public with an IPO after it ends its current legal tussle with the SEC, according to Brad Garlinghouse.
Ripple disputed the assertion stating XRP should be treated like a cryptocurrency and not a security offering.
The SEC has exactly 2 weeks to file an appeal with respect to its motion denial, and the commission’s response within this time frame is crucial as it may set a precedent for related cases in the near term.
Linqto, a company that trades private equity for crypto companies, before public listing, said that it has sold $50 million of stocks for Ripple Labs. This happened despite Ripple’s ongoing case with the US SEC.
The individual defendants from Ripple argue that the SEC has prolonged the case long enough to request additional time.
