Why Ripple’s Battle With the SEC Is a Crypto Soap Opera You Can’t Miss 🍿

by

Ah, the never-ending tango between Ripple and the SEC—a saga that could rival Tolstoy’s epics in length but with more zeroes and ones. As this legal chess match nears its endgame, even Bitwise’s co-founder has thrown his hat into the ring of support for Ripple. Or perhaps he just enjoys watching billionaires spar over digital tokens. Who knows? 😏

Bitwise Founder: The Cheerleader No One Asked For

Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise Asset Management (yes, another crypto bigwig), decided to bestow upon Brad Garlinghouse—the man who eats subpoenas for breakfast—an honorary medal of valor. Well, not literally, but you get the idea.

In an interview dripping with admiration, Horsley gushed, “Brad didn’t just show up; he showed OUT. Taking on the SEC is like trying to wrestle a bear while wearing boxing gloves. And yet, here we are.” He continued, “Love XRP or hate it—heck, maybe you’re still confused about what RLUSD even does—but you’ve got to respect the audacity.” 🐻‍❄️

“Brad,” Horsley concluded, “is my new LinkedIn inspiration quote.” (Okay, I made that last part up.)

SEC vs. Everyone Else: A Comedy of Errors?

While Ripple plays David to the SEC’s Goliath, other crypto giants haven’t been so lucky. Take Coinbase and Uniswap, for example. The SEC swooped in like your nosy aunt at Thanksgiving dinner, leaving chaos in its wake.

Horsley quipped, “The SEC’s enforcement tactics have turned Uniswap into a nervous wreck and Coinbase into… well, let’s just say they’re rethinking their life choices. Not everyone can fight back against these regulatory thunderbolts, but Ripple? They strapped on their armor and said, ‘Bring it.’” ⚡️

And guess what? Spoiler alert—they *recently prevailed.* Cue fireworks. 🎆

Mark Your Calendars: August 15, 2025

If you thought this drama would wrap up anytime soon, think again. This courtroom spectacle will reach its climax on August 15, 2025—a date now etched in the annals of crypto history. According to pro-XRP lawyer Bill Morgan, the SEC finally has to stop dragging its feet and report to the appeal court. Yes, deadlines exist, even for government agencies. Shocking, isn’t it? 😲

Until then, grab your popcorn and enjoy the show. After all, where else can you witness lawyers arguing about whether something is a security or just fancy internet money? 🍿✨
