Ripple CEO and SEC Granted Request to Seal Court Documents

According to Odaily, U.S. District Judge Phyllis J. Hamilton has approved the request by Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to seal certain court documents. This decision allows both parties to keep sensitive information confidential as the case progresses. The sealed documents include crucial evidence related to summary judgment and expert testimony, which are vital to the case. The court's decision was made under the Ninth Circuit's 'compelling reasons' standard. Ripple sought to seal eight pieces of evidence related to summary judgment and 56 pieces opposing the SEC's motion. Meanwhile, the SEC requested to seal parts of its evidence, including expert testimony.
