The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dropped all charges against senior executives of the Ripple platform, after reaching a bilateral agreement.

In this sense, on Thursday it was announced that the charges against the company’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, and against the executive president, Chris Larsen, were withdrawn to move to a phase of negotiations “respectfully” requested from the regulatory body.

The document presented indicates that both parties reached an agreement “to voluntarily and with prejudice dismiss the complicity charges filed against these two executives, which implies that said charges cannot be reinstated in the future.”

The SEC, however, “will continue its legal claims against Ripple, keeping the ongoing legal dispute alive.”

It is unknown how these developments, in addition to regulatory and legal aspects, could impact Ripple’s cryptocurrency, XRP. For now, the parties agreed to establish information sessions, protected by the “spirit of cooperation,” which has led to the extension of the deadline until November 9 to submit to the court “a calendar proposal” for said meetings. If an agreement is not reached, the court must intervene and set a meeting agenda beneficial to both parties.

The legal situation has continued for three years, during which time both Garlinghouse and Larsen have been under accusations by the SEC that are considered “baseless” and politically flawed.

After the legal conflict that Ripple is going through due to the lawsuit of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Uphold’s position will remain favorable to the cryptocurrency XRP.

The cryptocurrency exchange operator and payment processor, Uphold, assures that until there is a legal justification from the Court on the charges of the SEC, it will not eliminate the digital asset, much less suspend its trading. 

The company’s CEO, J.P. Thieriot, confirmed his position in a message posted on his Twitter account where he assures that Uphold “has decided to continue listing XRP unless the SEC complaint against Ripple is adjudicated to legally determine that XRP is currently a security or until the volume trading dissipates to a point where we can no longer support XRP. “

In addition, the company expressed the need to wait for a final judgment from the Court instead of making hasty and unjustified conclusions; therefore, he hopes other exchanges will take a similar stance on the matter rather than “go to trial before the court’s decision.” 

For the exchange, the SEC’s decision could generate huge losses, leaving consumers without protection, “it is difficult to see how a lawsuit that makes XRP essentially useless and could make retail investors lose billions of dollars. who bought XRP in good faith would fit that mandate. We are still waiting for a sensible resolution, “Uphold said.
