Ripple CEO Brad Garlinhouse, said:

“We began these reports to voluntarily provide updates given our XRP holdings. Sadly, they were used against us in the SEC lawsuit – however, we remain steadfast in our commitment to transparency but I suspect they’re going to look a bit different moving forward.”

According to the report, Ripple’s XRP holdings increased from 5,506,585,918 to 5,551,119,094, rising almost 45 million. Total XRP on ledger escrow decreased by nearly 1 billion amid demand for XRP.

XRP lawyer John Deaton also condemns SEC for using these reports against the company and executives in the lawsuit. While Ripple voluntarily publishes these reports quarterly, other firms not only hide share token sales, but intentionally disguised such transactions.

“Even though the SEC and others used this info against Ripple, the transparency prevented the SEC from attempting to assert bogus fraud, misrepresentation, or manipulation charges – which, let’s face it, it would have, if it could have. When your transparent they can’t claim fraud – even when they want to.”

Victory Against US SEC and Misconceptions

Ripple noted Judge Torres’ landmark decision in Securities & Exchange Commission v. Ripple Labs on July 13, declaring XRP is not a security. All XRP sales are not security, except sales pursuant to written contracts are investment contracts and therefore securities.

Ripple also dispels misconceptions regarding it’s partial win for the company, XRP is a security in some settings, and share of stock is always a security. It also clears air that the decision protects sophisticated institutions but not retail buyers.
