Ripple has its own defense strategy for the lawsuit filed against them, it's just too early to tell. This is also evidenced by the post of the lawyer of the company Stuart Alderoty on Twitter: "To all asking for updates on the SEC lawsuit: no surprise, the legal process takes time! We may be quiet but we are not idle. Our full legal team will announce themselves shortly and we’ll be filing our initial response to the SEC’s unproven allegations within weeks". https://twitter.com/s_alderoty/status/1347273044818096134
