Crypto Lawsuits: Ripple and Coinbase Cases Headed for Supreme Court Showdown?

The legal battles between the SEC and cryptocurrency companies like Ripple and potentially Coinbase could culminate in a landmark showdown at the U.S. Supreme Court, according to a former SEC litigator.

Ripple vs. SEC Lawsuit: Final Pretrial Conference Off, But Case Heats Up

Confusion swirled around the Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit this week after rumours of a final pretrial conference were debunked by Ripple's Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty. The SEC originally filed suit against Ripple Labs, along with executives Brad Garlinghouse and Chris Larsen, in December 2020. The charges alleged Ripple sold XRP as an unregistered security, with the executives aiding and abetting the sales. However, the legal landscape shifted dramatically in July 2023. The court ruled that non-institutional sales of XRP did not constitute securities offerings, and an attempt by the SEC to appeal this decision was denied.
