Ripple class action lawsuit

The lawsuit claims that Defendants have offered and sold the digital asset XRP without registration in violation of federal and California securities laws. The lawsuit claims that Defendants are liable to certain persons or entities who purchased XRP. The lawsuit also claims that persons or entities who purchased XRP during the class period (July 3, 2017 to June 30, 2023) have the right to recover (a) the consideration paid for the XRP, with interest, if they retained the XRP, less the current price of the XRP or upon tendering the XRP, or (b) damages if they sold the XRP at a loss. The Court has not decided whether Defendants did anything wrong. Defendants will defend themselves at trial.

(1) Federal Securities Claims Class: All persons or entities who purchased XRP from July 3, 2017 through June 30, 2023 and who have (a) retained the XRP, and/or (b) sold the XRP at a loss.

(2) California State Securities Claims Class: All persons or entities who purchased XRP from Defendants and/or from any person or entity selling XRP on Defendants’ behalf from July 3, 2017 through June 30, 2023 and who have (a) retained the XRP, and/or (b) sold the XRP at a loss.

This only applies to class members who purchased XRP within the United States during the relevant class period.

Excluded from the Classes are corporate officers, members of the boards of directors, and senior executives of Defendants; members of their immediate families and their legal representatives, heirs, successors or assigns; and any entity in which Defendants have or had a controlling interest.
