SEC deems XRP holders extremely biased

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed another motion opposing XRP holders’ participation in the Ripple case, calling them extremely biased. The regulator argues investors cannot join as amici curiae, contending their stake in the outcome would compromise objectivity. John Deaton of the Deaton Law Firm criticized the SEC's conduct and XRP holders argued they meet the requirements to participate. The SEC previously charged Ripple with unregistered sale of securities tied to XRP, later narrowing focus to Brad Garlinghouse and Chris Larsen. In March 2021 the regulator sought to block the XRP holders’ motion; a New York court later supported the investors. In May, Ripple supporters were said to have launched a crusade against the agency.
