Ripple versus dry: how close is the end?
The ongoing legal drama between Ripple Labs, Ripple (XRP) developers, and the SEC will likely end in 2023. Brad Garlinghouse, head of the corrugation laboratories, said he expects a conclusion in the current saga in the first half of 2023.
The latter sued the corrugation laboratories in 2020 for selling XRP tokens to the public, which it claimed were not registered securities.
