Ripple, Developer Behind XRP Ledger, Enters Stablecoin Fray vs. Tether, USDC
The token will be "100% backed by U.S. dollar deposits, short-term U.S. government Treasuries and other cash equivalents," according to the company.
Ripple, the enterprise-focused blockchain service and creator of the XRP Ledger, is introducing its own stablecoin pegged to the price of the U.S. dollar.
"The stablecoin market is over $150 billion today and is forecasted to exceed $2.8 trillion by 2028," Ripple said in a statement shared with CoinDesk. "There’s clear demand for stablecoins that deliver trust, stability and utility."

Ripple did in 2019 the same thing Ethereum did in 2014, but Ripple from 2016 to 2019 raised $255 million in investment while Ethereum raised about $20 million in investment in 2014.
Usually a fair penalty, that amount of investment raised and additional penalties. But here you have to look at who the coins were sold to, because not all investments will be considered securities sales

I'm not interested in Ripple, but I still think that the SEC will not give up trying to persecute Ripple
Neither is Ripple giving up, they are going to launch a stablecoin later this year on their Ripple's institution-focused XRP Ledger and Ethereum blockchain (ERC-20 token). They are least bothered and do not care what the SEC is saying in court, either way, those who have been investing in XRP and those who will use their stablecoin will be the ones who will suffer if they lose the court battle. I think they will be in negotiations with the SEC in the future if they feel that the ruling will be going against them.

SEC Asks Judge To Order Ripple To Pay Nearly $2,000,000,000 in Fines and Penalties
"The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has asked a judge to order Ripple to pay nearly $2 billion in fines and penalties.
$2 billion in sanctions!!! This is a very large amount that I think Ripple will not agree to pay because it is completely unrealistic.SEC Asks Judge To Order Ripple To Pay Nearly $2,000,000,000 in Fines and Penalties
"The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has asked a judge to order Ripple to pay nearly $2 billion in fines and penalties.
I do not know what legal justifications the SEC relied on to request this large fine. I mean, are there legal justifications in American law that allow them to request such a large fine, or this determined by the head of the SEC?
I know that there is an important simulation session scheduled for April 23, 2024, so I do not know whether there are new developments that prompted the SEC to request this fine?

"The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has asked a judge to order Ripple to pay nearly $2 billion in fines and penalties.
The SEC first sued the payments company in late 2020 for allegedly selling XRP as an unregistered security.
Last summer, US District Judge Analisa Torres ruled that Ripple’s automated, open-market sales of XRP, referred to as programmatic sales, did not constitute security offerings, contrary to what the SEC alleged."

I remember before the fines were in the tens of millions, but now the SEC does not work with small fines

TD Cowen expects Gary Gensler to continue bringing crypto cases after SEC win in insider-trading lawsuit

In general, I believe that regulation is not finished yet, and the most interesting things are yet to come.
Many altcoins will have big downside risks.

What is strange is that XRP is centralized and it is possible to reach agreements to a large extent with the team, especially since its main orientation is in financial transfers between banks and as a cheap alternative to SWIFT and not a decentralized currency.
In general, the SEC's focus on cryptocurrencies and their constant push for settlements will eventually lead to these companies either starting a legal battle against the SEC or moving their business from the United States and avoiding US market as much as possible.
