Ripple CEO confident on outcome of legal battle with the US SEC

Brad Garlinghouse, told traders that the payment giant is ready to settle with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Ripple seeks clarity on the status of the XRP token. While the regulator alleges that XRP is a security, Ripple argues that it is a cryptocurrency similar to Ethereum and Bitcoin. 

The SEC alleged Ripple’s executives of profiteering from the sale of XRP tokens. Ripple is ready to settle and the payment giant has partnerships with banking giants lined up. 

Nick Burrafato, Director of Member Sales at Linqto reported in a tweet about a face-to-face conversation with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse at Ripple Swell 2022 in London. Burrafato said:

I met him first in Singapore in 2009, and he’s even more confident today than he was back then. He made it clear that they are ready to settle with the SEC as long as they can get clarity on XRP.

Bank of America stands to gain competitive advantage through Ripple’s use

The Linqto employee asked Garlinghouse whether there are companies waiting for the legal battle SEC v. Ripple to end. Garlinghouse specifically mentioned his partnership with Bank of America. 

Garlinghouse reportedly said,

Bank of America is a huge partner of Ripple. Bank of America stands to gain really big when the settlement happens because they are gonna have a huge competitive advantage over their competitors by using ODL and the marketplace.

In April 2020, Julie Harris, Head of Global Banking at Bank of America confirmed the partnership with Ripple in an episode of Bank of America’s “Treasury Insights” podcast. Harris said Bank of America’s first goal is that customers can do anything, anytime, anywhere. This is not about the platform and its capabilities, it's about the client and infrastructure. 

Harries elaborated that the fintech firms that the bank partners with meet strict legal and compliance requirements.
