Ripple said if the SEC can’t handle additional evidence, then it shouldn’t have sued the company in the first place. I love that response.* https://dailyhodl.com/2022/10/06/ripple-protests-secs-move-to-block-third-party-evidence-says-regulator-mischaracterizing-law-in-xrp-lawsuit/ MENA is the **fastest growing crypto region** in the world.
