Ripple CEO is Self-Assured in Winning the Lawsuit by SEC

As reported, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse expressed his assertiveness that the blockchain company would "prevail" in the lawsuit against the agency. His most recent interview with CNN's<a href="https://twitter.com/jchatterleyCNN/status/1377719717125885954" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> Julia Chatterley</a> reads,

I think there is certain strangeness that the SEC has kind of picked winners here: it said that Bitcoin is not a security, it said that Ether is not a security, but really everything else, I think, is kind of at risk. Particularly, given what they have done in the lawsuit against Ripple. But, you know, we could do that.”

“I’m really looking forward to the facts coming out in the court case. You know this is something that I haven’t commented on publicly because the wheels of justice kind of move slowly. It’s important that we get the facts out. We heard one side of the story from the SEC,” he added.

In addition, Garlinghouse, a former senior vice president of Yahoo!, says that he wouldn’t want to base his new cryptocurrency company in the U.S if he were to launch one.
