SEC law suite will not do much harm to our business says SBI:
Following the suit filed by SEC against Ripple on 22nd of Dec last year, the SBI responded promptly and asserted that the SEC lawsuit would not have much effect on its business as it supported Ripple by asserting the fact that that the courts in Japan have already declared the XRP a digital currency and not security.
SBI further shed some light on some significant facts as it stated that 90% of the Ripple clients do not belong to the USA and 80 percent of the transactions performed on the Ripple platform are not US-specific too.
Moreover, SEC chairman Jay Clayton resigned just after the SEC filed the lawsuit, and though it can merely be a coincidence it certainly raises questions about the intentions behind the lawsuit.
