Ripple Labs has filed an opposition to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) proposed $2 billion in fines related to the institutional sales of XRP tokens. Ripple's legal team argues that the proposed penalty is an act of 'ongoing intimidation' and suggests that a more reasonable penalty would be no more than $10 million. They contend that the violations alleged by the SEC are not as severe as other financial crimes, such as commingling of funds or fraud.
