The ongoing clash between Ripple Labs and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) shows no signs of resolution. Recently, Ripple&#39;s executives took to social media to voice their discontent, claiming that the SEC has disregarded a recent court ruling regarding XRP.Stuart Alderoty, Ripple&#39;s Chief Legal Officer, continues to challenge the SEC&#39;s assertion that XRP qualifies as a security, despite a favorable ruling from the court. Ripple&#39;s CEO, <a href="https://optimisus.com/market/market-news/ripple-ceo-brad-garlinghouse-urges-vp-kamala-harris-to-clarify-her-crypto-stance/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Brad Garlinghouse</a>, has gone so far as to label the SEC a &#34;renegade agency&#34; in his public statements.Ripple, which was established in 2012 and rebranded as Ripple Labs in 2013, quickly made a name for itself in the cryptocurrency sector, particularly with its innovative approach to cross-border payments. However, this success attracted scrutiny from the SEC, which has been investigating the company for several years, claiming that XRP is a security.A recent legal win for Ripple came in the Bitnomial case, where a U.S. District Judge ruled that XRP Futures contracts do not fall under the SEC&#39;s jurisdiction, reinforcing the argument that XRP is not a security. This ruling was seen as a significant victory for Ripple and its advocates.Despite this progress, the SEC remains steadfast in its position, continuing to classify XRP as a security. Ripple&#39;s legal team has criticized the SEC for ignoring the court&#39;s decision, arguing that such actions undermine the agency&#39;s credibility. Alderoty has described the SEC&#39;s stance as unconstitutional, while Garlinghouse has expressed frustration over the agency&#39;s perceived disregard for the law.Support for <a href="https://optimisus.com/market/market-news/ripple-ceo-brad-garlinghouse-slams-sec-for-regulation-by-enforcement/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ripple</a> extends beyond the cryptocurrency community, with legal experts questioning the SEC&#39;s motives and actions. Recent criticisms of the SEC&#39;s conduct in other cases have only intensified scrutiny of its approach to Ripple.
