Despite the ongoing litigation between Ripple (XRP) and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the digital currency has seen significant growth on the international stage.
Ceo of Ripple Brad Garlinghouse took to Twitter on December 22 to announce a year between the SEC filing a lawsuit against Ripple, Chris Larsen, and himself when the regulator declared that XRP, a publicly-traded cryptocurrency, should have been registered as a security.
The CEO tweeted:
“One year ago today, the @SECgov filed a lawsuit against @Ripple, @chrislarsenSF, and me, alleging that XRP – a public crypto that has been trading on the open market since 2013 – should have been registered as a security.”
