Ripple labs battle with SEC lawsuit.
The company just buyback $200 million worth of Series C shares.
The company remain optimistic about what 2022 will bring to the table.
It’s no longer a doubt that Ripple labs Inc has long been combatting with a yet to be resolved financial matters with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
According to a report from giant crypto research networks, in late December 2020, Ripple was brought to charge with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Following the alleged financial case that Ripple raised more than $1.3billion in unregistered earnings as a result of selling XRP securities to institutional investors.
The charge was brought to the limelight when the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) declared that the Ripple token should be labelled as a financial security asset and not as a payment system.
Fast forward to the imbalance that was felt in the Ripple market value, several financial institutions back out from accepting the XRP token on their trading platforms. The likes of giant tech companies such as Coinbase and Bitstamp are among the list of US-based industries that delisted the XRP digital currency from their trading assets.
However, with an optimistic look at 2022, it seems the Ripple coin will present a positive effect on its market value. As the recent announcement by the CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated on Wednesday, the San Francisco-based company had just buyback $200 million worth of series C shares, despite the headwinds inflicted by the SEC lawsuit.
