Ripple SEC News: XRP Institutional Sales Discounts, Agreement to Sell, & Other Key Details Sealed
Highlights
- Ripple demands the sealing of its Remedies Materials citing confidential information.
- Ripple said that the redaction of information would have a minimum bearing on Court's decisions.
- Bill Morgan says that Ripple seeks to seal the discounts offered to institutional XRP buyers.
On Monday, May 13, blockchain startup Ripple, filed a motion to seal specific documents related to the U.S. SEC’s motion for remedies and judgment. Ripple aims to redact certain portions of the Remedies Motion briefing and seal highly sensitive and confidential exhibits. The company emphasized that its sealing requests are limited and justified, aimed at safeguarding confidential business data and legitimate privacy interests.
Ripple Requests to Seal Remedies Material
In its filing, Ripple stated that its Remedies Materials consist of confidential information such as its audited financial statement and documents, and other information regarding its ongoing business relationships.
Thus, it added that the redactions only pertain to information that is highly sensitive, which if disclosed could cause harm to Ripple. It adds that the information that Ripple has proposed to redact would have a minimum bearing on the Court’s resolution of the motion for Judgement and Remedies.
While the SEC has contended to agree to some of Ripple’s requests, the regulator has opposed a few. In its filing to the court, Ripple said that the SEC hasn’t opposed Ripple’s request to seal. The blockchain firm believes that the court should grant its request for the same reasons it sought the sealing and redactions in the Summary Judgment.
In a recent statement, Ripple’s Chief Financial Officer, Jonathan Bilich, emphasized the company’s commitment to safeguarding its sensitive and proprietary business information. Bilich highlighted that Ripple, being a private entity, dedicates substantial efforts to maintain the confidentiality of its data.
“I attest that the information Ripple seeks to redact is highly sensitive and confidential business and proprietary information. Its disclosure to the public would be detrimental to Ripple’s business relationships with customers and other counterparties and harm Ripple’s standing in the competitive marketplace,” stated Bilich.
