The ongoing legal battle between Ripple Labs and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has drawn a huge amount of attention in the cryptocurrency industry. With every passing day, the crypto community has been raising questions about regulatory authority, the future of digital assets and the reasons why Ripple has been targeted with such scrutiny. One of the crypto analysts theorizes that SEC’s actions are not just about enforcing securities laws but also about protecting traditional banking interests.
The reason why Ripple keeps getting attacked by the SEC and why they won’t concede is because the SEC is controlled by the Elite banking cartels who run everything. Ripple using XRP completely destroys banks ability to fractionalize banking and will cost them hundreds of billions

The theory argues that the SEC actions are a part of a bigger struggle against traditional banking institutions as XRP’s technology threatens the status quo by offering a decentralized alternative to the banking system. Due to this, the profit margins for major banks are undermined because of XRP’s potential, ultimately leading to aggressive regulatory scrutiny from the SEC.
J.P. Morgan tried to Acquire Ripple
It has also been brought to notice that J.P. Morgan had approached Ripple in 2019 to acquire a substantial portion of XRP, but the offer was refused. Following Ripple’s refusal, the banks shifted their strategy from acquisition to litigation. They knew that such a move would cause a significant impact on Ripple’s growth. In this entire situation, the SEC is nothing but an enforcer aiming to protect elite banking dominance in the financial system.
Why is the SEC not after Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana?
Analyst also mentions that if Bitcoin, Ethereum or Solana had the potential to change the world financial system like XRP does, the SEC would have gone after them instead of XRP. Also, there is a reason as to why the prices of Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana go up to crazy prices but XRP cannot even get close to those prices.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, everything is being controlled by the elite banks in order to maintain their dominance over the financial system and the SEC is just their enforcer, trying to help the Elite banks stay in power by scrutinizing any technology that comes in the way. Ripple has the potential to unlock new heights of global liquidity and become the heart of this new system with XRP and XRPL, in order to stop this from happening, the elite banks will do anything to prevent XRP from being the next big thing.
