Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, discussed the ongoing SEC lawsuit, regulatory clarity, and the future of crypto. He recounted that in December 2020, the SEC sued Ripple over XRP sales, leading to a three-and-a-half-year legal battle that ended with a judge ruling XRP is not a security, but at a cost of $150 million in legal fees. He criticized SEC Chair Gensler for prioritizing litigation over policy and for lacking transparency, citing a Utah judge sanctioning SEC prosecutors. Garlinghouse said Ripple has no imminent IPO plans and instead has repurchased $1.4 billion of stock through tender offers. He praised real-world asset tokenization, noting Robinhood's Vlad reported order-of-magnitude cost savings, and highlighted BlackRock's Larry Fink as a crypto advocate. He called the $2.5 trillion crypto market positive long-term, though he questioned the need for 15,000 tokens.

I think that the US, as the largest economy in the world, eventually will get this right. Eventually we will have a different chair of the SEC who is not fighting the very laws that he is championing. I mean, look, one of the things that he and I were talking about backstage, I'll share with you: the United States SEC literally puts people in jail for not providing accurate transparency. Yet we have in this SEC a reluctance to provide transparency. They won't respond to Freedom of Information Act requests. They have been sanctioned by a judge here in Utah about a case where their prosecutors lied to the court. You know, it's really depressing when you peel the onion back to see how this SEC, they're supposed to be working for us, the people. And it's so frustrating. But back to your core question.
Thank you for coming. Very quickly, if you could for the audience quickly explain the lawsuit that you've been involved in with the SEC for the last bunch of years.
So, in December of 2020, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission argued that Ripple's sales of XRP, a digital asset and a technology we use in our technology stack, that our sales of XRP represented the sale of an unregistered security. We of course argued, and frankly I had never considered the possibility that XRP was a security. I always kind of looked at it as a currency, and we engaged in a three and a half year legal battle that culminated last summer. We won on the kind of core issue that XRP is not in and of itself a security. That's a quote from the judge's ruling, which was great to win, but it was $150 million of legal bills along the way, which we can talk more about the implications of that, but...
