Previously, the SEC proposed a $2 billion fine for Ripple, a figure that the company strongly opposed. Ripple’s legal team argued that the amount requested was too high for the alleged violations.

Instead, Ripple proposed a significantly lower fine of $10 million, challenging the need for injunctive relief and relief as proposed by the SEC.

Ripple is committed to complying with that guidance going forward and is willing to do so with full determination. The SEC’s draconian redress requirements are not well defined in law or principle. The court should deny the SEC’s requests for injunction, rescission, and pretrial benefits, and should impose impose a civil penalty not to exceed $10 million,” the notice read.
