Ripple, the US-based cross-border payments firm, is accustomed to finding itself at the center of debates since the XRP lawsuit began in December 2020. In a recent incident, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse joined the debate and did not look likely to condone any XRP slander.

While Brad Garlinghouse had earlier claimed that Ripple would likely spend about $200 million by the time it concludes its legal war with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the American angel dealer countered the claim stating that Ripple should have operated by the common principle by ensuring that XRP was enlisted as a security in compliance with SEC’s guidelines.

Finally, Deaton warned the U.S. SEC chairman about the negative impacts of the SEC’s action on the sustainability of crypto trading in the United States.
