Key Notes
- New documentary highlights Ripple Labs’ legal battle with the SEC.
- Streaming release is set for November 21 on Fruition Productions’ website.
A new documentary titled “Rigged from the Start: Exposing the SEC’s War on Crypto” debuted recently in Arizona. The tell-it-all show attempts to share the story, including the parts otherwise hidden from the general crypto community, of the ongoing legal battle between Ripple Labs, the company behind XRP XRP $2.53 24h volatility: 6.5% Market cap: $144.36 B Vol. 24h: $45.82 B , and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Produced by Los Angeles-based film and gaming studio, Fruition Productions, this documentary promises viewers “exclusive insights” from some of the biggest names in the industry.
According to the production team, viewers can expect to see top crypto influencers and digital finance experts star in Rigged from the Start. That is, as they attempt to pull back the curtain on the widely discussed standoff between Ripple and the SEC.
Notably, however, Brad Garlinghouse, who is Ripple’s CEO and also one of the most vocal voices against the SEC, may not feature in the documentary. Garlinghouse reportedly declined to take part in the project.
XRP Documentary: Journey So Far and What to Expect
According to Fruition Productions, the team originally planned to title the documentary XRP Unleashed. However, they changed their mind with only a few weeks left before the full release.
Meanwhile, the decision to change the title was not a random one. The studio made the move in hopes that the new title would resonate more with viewers who may be unfamiliar with XRP.
About the Arizona screening, Fruition has noted that it is only the beginning of the documentary’s journey. The team launched a seven-city screening tour and has confirmed receiving positive feedback. This strong interest has now encouraged the studio to begin considering a second tour in December.
Fruition Productions has highlighted Florida as one of the potential stops for the second tour.
The Ripple vs SEC Saga
Crypto enthusiasts and investors have closely watched with keen interest the unfolding events in the legal battle between Ripple and the SEC. They also raise concerns over the SEC’s approach to regulation and the future of digital assets in the United States.
All of these concerns will be aired in the documentary as it sheds more light on the SEC’s high-profile lawsuit against Ripple. The SEC’s argument remains that Ripple Labs illegally sold XRP as an unregistered security. Ripple also maintains its stand by denying those claims. The firm insists that XRP should not be classified as a security, arguing that the case is merely a regulatory overreach on the SEC’s part.
For those who may not be able to attend in person, the documentary will become available for streaming on Fruition Productions’ website starting November 21.
Expectations are high that the streaming release will attract a broader audience. This is how the studio hopes to use the documentary to enlighten more people about the SEC’s case against Ripple and its implications for the entire crypto sector.
As Coinspeaker reported on August 26, Fruition Productions has not limited streaming to its website alone. For maximum reach, the team will allow the documentary to be available for viewing on both Amazon Prime and AppleTV and other major streaming platforms.
