.Ripple is attempting to prevent SEC_Enforcement from striking its key defense
took LBRY to court in early April, which happened just months after the agency dropped its bombshell lawsuit against Ripple. The blockchain-based file-sharing project was accused of selling its native LBC token as an unregistered security in order to fund its operations.
Jeremy Kauffman, CEO of LBRY, claimed that the token was not a security because there was no initial coin offering , echoing Ripple's argument: LBRY rejected a similar defense, at the pleadings stage, even though that case, like Ripple's, did not involve an ICO and only contained allegations of unregistered offers and sales.
LBRY joined Ripple in trying to rally the industry against the SEC, claiming that its enforcement actions would put other blockchain projects at risk. The court is yet to rule on the SEC's motion to strike Ripple's defense, which was originally filed in April 2021.
