US Court Rejects SEC’s Attempt to Block XRP Holders’ Motion to Intervene in Ripple Lawsuit

In the SEC v. Ripple lawsuit, the court has rejected the SEC’s attempt to block XRP holders’ Motion to Intervene and has set submission deadlines for the motion to be filed as well as for responses from the SEC and Ripple.

Judge Dismissed SEC’s Attempt to Stop XRP Holders From Intervening in Ripple Lawsuit

In the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) v. Ripple Labs case, the district court of the Southern District of New York “has reviewed the parties’ and proposed intervenors’ letters dated March 19 and 26, 2021,” according to the court document filed Monday.

The SEC filed a lawsuit against Ripple Labs Inc., CEO Brad Garlinghouse, and co-founder Christian Larsen in December, charging them with conducting a $1.3 billion unregistered XRP securities offering. On March 19, Deaton Law Firm wrote a letter to District Judge Analisa Torres on behalf of XRP holders, as proposed intervenors. It was signed by over 10,000 XRP holders at the time of filing. The SEC responded on March 26, attempting to convince Judge Torres to deny the Motion to Intervene.

The Monday court order, signed by Judge Torres, is in favor of XRP holders, stating:

The proposed intervenors’ request for leave to file a Motion to Intervene is granted.

The order further states that “the proposed investors shall file their Motion to Intervene” by April 19.

In addition, the SEC shall file its opposition papers and the defendants shall file their response papers, if any, by May 3. Lastly, the proposed intervenors shall file their reply to the SEC’s opposition papers and defendants’ response papers, and the SEC shall file a reply to the defendants’ response papers by May 17.

Deaton Law Firm confirmed on Twitter that the SEC is “defeated in [its] attempt to block XRP holders’ Motion to Intervene,” as Judge Torres has granted a request from its founder John Deaton “to submit Motion to Intervene on behalf of XRP holders.” Clarifying that “The judge has not granted the motion,” the firm emphasized:

She has rejected the SEC’s arguments that XRP holders be denied the opportunity to submit it.

P2P Bitcoin Traders in Nigeria Think Outside the Box in the Wake of CBN Restrictions

After the Central Bank of Nigeria issued a directive targeting the country’s cryptocurrency industry, bitcoin and altcoin trade volumes on centralized exchanges immediately plunged. Nevertheless, the new regulations seem to have succeeded in boosting crypto trade volumes on informal markets or on peer-to-peer trading platforms. Nigerian Crypto Traders Get Creative Still, the increasing trades on informal platforms have also led to increased reports of users losing money to con artists. Moreover, with the CBN seemingly eager to see volumes of crypto trades plummet, Nigerian users had to find ingenious but legal ways of getting around the central bank’s imposed restrictions. As shown in one local report , one such legal way is through an app created by one local crypto start-up, Patricia. According to the report, this application is already enabling Nigerian users to buy or sell their crypto assets securely and without running afoul of CBN regulations. Therefore, in this report, we relis

The Jacobin Podcast episode called: “ Dig: Cryptocurrency w/ Edward Ongweso Jr & Jacob Silverman, ” touches upon “cryptocurrency, NFTs, Elon Musk, the metaverse, meme stocks, and techno-utopianism amid the crushing reality of our neoliberal hellscape.” Cryptocurrency isn’t fringe technology anymore. Over the last decade, it has become embedded into finance, culture, and even our social life. It’s drastically changing the way we think about money, economics, and human action. However, some people, primarily on the left, are skeptical of cryptocurrency. Many of them hate it, regardless of how much of a godsend it has been for many. My friend, thought leader, author, and psychedelic visionary, Daniel Pinchbeck, pointed out a
