History

Historical Context

In 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued Ripple Labs, alleging it raised over $1.3 billion through unregistered securities offerings. At that time, Ripple's market capitalization was around $20 billion, reflecting its significant role in the cryptocurrency market.
