There has been a legal battle between the SEC and Ripple that has been going on for nearly 2 years. Recently, new supporters joined the lawsuit and the abstracts were presented to the court. Ripple took one last step towards the lawsuit.

In the motion, Ripple argued that the SEC’s opposition to summary judgment should be pushed aside because the securities regulator failed to provide evidence that XRP is an offer or sale of an investment contract and why it is a security under federal securities laws.
