The price spike came after a U.S. judge denied the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) request to access Ripple's legal communications. What is the SEC's lawsuit against Ripple? The SEC filed a lawsuit against Ripple and its executives in December 2020, alleging that they sold $1.3 billion worth of XRP as unregistered securities. Ripple has argued that XRP is not a security, but a digital asset that is used for cross-border payments and remittances. The company also claimed that the SEC did not provide fair notice to the market about its regulatory status. How did the judge rule in favor of Ripple? On June 30, U.S. Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn denied the SEC's motion to compel Ripple to produce documents related to its legal advice on XRP. The judge ruled that Ripple's communications with its lawyers are protected by attorney-client privilege, and that the SEC failed to show a "substantial need" to access them. The judge also noted that the SEC's request was "overly broad" and "disproportionate". What does this mean for XRP and the crypto market? The judge's ruling is seen as a major victory for Ripple and a setback for the SEC, as it could weaken the agency's case against the company. The ruling also boosted the confidence of XRP investors, who have been waiting for a resolution of the legal dispute. XRP's price jumped from around $0.6 to over $1 in a matter of hours, making it one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies in the market. The rally also lifted other altcoins, such as Stellar, Cardano, and Dogecoin. What are the next steps in the lawsuit? The lawsuit is still ongoing, and both parties are expected to continue their discovery process until August 31. The SEC has also filed a motion to extend the deadline for fact discovery by 60 days, citing the complexity of the case and the need for more time to review documents. Ripple has opposed this motion, arguing that it would cause further harm to its business and customers. The judge has not yet ruled on this motion. Conclusion XRP's price has exploded over 70% as a U.S. judge ruled in favor of Ripple in its lawsuit with the SEC. The ruling denied the SEC's request to access Ripple's legal communications, which are protected by attorney-client privilege. The ruling is seen as a major win for Ripple and a boost for XRP investors, who have been waiting for a positive outcome of the case.
