In April 2021, he said on CoinDesk TV that "all the evidence" suggests Bitcoin and XRP were similar despite allegations XRP was being sold illegally as a security. Ripple was in the midst of defending itself against a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) action alleging the company and two of its executives violated U.S. securities laws in selling XRP to retail consumers.[3]
