The crypto market saw several key actions in the Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit this week. Ripple’s chief legal officer, Stuart Alderoty, recently asked Kamala Harris to end the SEC’s war against cryptocurrency. Meanwhile, the XRP token exhibits a price increase of 0.80% after showing notable surges on August 8.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Notably, Alderoty delved into details of the ongoing lawsuit in a recent interview with CNBC. Additionally, the CLO <a href="https://x.com/s_alderoty/status/1822006689597681976" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">stated</a> in his X account that the current ‘admin’, must validate her crypto ‘reset’ by acting in the present. He noted that the SEC’s misguided war with crypto must be ended.&nbsp;
Recently, on August 8, Ripple was <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/ripple-faces-125-million-fine-in-ongoing-lawsuit-with-u-s-sec/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">asked</a> to pay a $125 million fine by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) after which it expects the issuance of the final judgment. This announcement caused a positive price rally in the XRP token instigating a 22% daily increase on Thursday.&nbsp;
Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse stated in his X account:
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
 “This is a victory for Ripple, the industry and the rule of law. The SEC’s headwinds against the whole of the XRP community are gone.”&nbsp;
</blockquote>
Furthermore, the SEC initially appealed for $2 billion in penalty fines which has been reduced by 94% approximately as the CEO stated. The Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit persisting since 2020 and the community expects it to draw to a close this year.&nbsp;
