If the lawsuit is decided in favor of Ripple, for example, this is anticipated to be seen as a bullish sentiment for those looking to buy XRP. As a reminder, the US regulator sued the blockchain company for allegedly illegally selling over $1.3 billion worth of XRP tokens. According to the SEC, the tokens were securities during the sale between 2013 and December 2020. Both sides have now handed in their closing arguments, which raises the possibility that a resolution may be reached in the near future. James Filan, a defense attorney, disclosed in advance of the verdict that the SEC had submitted a second petition trying to keep certain papers confidential.
