<p>Ripple, the blockchain payments firm, is gearing up for a legal battle against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over the agency’s demand for a staggering $2 billion in penalties. The <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/ripple-vs-sec-ripple-to-file-response-on-secs-2bn-penalty-demand-today-on-april-22/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">company has filed a robust opposition</a> to the SEC’s penalty request, arguing that the proposed fines are excessive and disproportionate.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ripple-made-court-filling-pubic">Ripple Made Court Filling Pubic</h2>
<p>In a detailed court filing made public by Ripple’s defense lawyer, James Filan, the company vehemently disputes the SEC’s demand for $2 billion in penalties. Ripple contends that the proposed fines are unjustified and fail to align with the actual circumstances of the case.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The company asserts that there were no fraudulent behavior or recklessness allegations, which typically warrant such hefty financial penalties.</p>
<p>Ripple further <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/ripple-vs-sec-ripple-labs-challenges-secs-late-expert-submission/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">highlights its commitment</a> to transparency in its dealings with institutional investors regarding the sale of XRP. The company highlights significant legal victories it has secured throughout the litigation process, arguing that the SEC’s penalty request is inconsistent with the court’s findings.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, characterizes the SEC’s demand as a form of intimidation against the broader crypto industry in the United States.</p>

<p>The filing also outlines the timeline for the legal proceedings, with the SEC’s reply brief due on May 6, 2024.
