Just to remind: The SEC had on December 20, filed a lawsuit against Ripple Labs Inc and two top executives for selling unregistered digital asset securities to investors.
The request was granted by US Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn to Garlinghouse’s motion to Obtain international discovery of Binance records.
The news comes as a relief to the Ripple community, which claims that the exchange medium can not be considered as a security.
Ripple filed a motion requesting SEC investigate 14 foreign exchanges. The blockchain firm believes that the records held by the international exchanges will prove that its executives did not violate Section 5 of the Securities Act by selling off units of XRP.
The judge mentioned attorney-client privilege as a point for denying the SEC access to the legal records of Ripple.
