Ledger Cast Weighs the SEC's Ripple Case, Altcoin Losses and Bitcoin's Steadiness

Brian Krogsgard and Josh Olszewicz used their latest Ledger Cast episode to work through a run of crypto stories, led by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's lawsuit against Ripple and its chief executive. The SEC brought that case in December 2020, arguing that Ripple's sales of XRP amounted to an unregistered securities offering.

The hosts also looked at the steep losses suffered by smaller tokens, which traders often call "alts," and at why Bitcoin has held up better by comparison. The episode further touches on a Michael Saylor interview with Preston Pysh and on a delisting by Bitwise.

The show description lists these as discussion topics but does not include figures, quotes or conclusions from the conversation, so this piece does not add any. Listeners who want the hosts' reasoning will need the episode itself, which is available on iTunes, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, YouTube and via RSS.

Ledger Cast says its content is educational and should not be taken as investment advice. Anyone considering a purchase should do their own research first.
