Ripple’s explanations for the court order include:
Court rejects SEC’s Sealing Motion. It also orders a remastered version of the abstract to be submitted by June 14. The court also orders that by June 14, 2022, the SEC submit a letter explaining its proposed redactions and specifying which exhibits it wishes to seal.
, meanwhile, the court settled with Ripple and said the SEC tried to seal more than necessary. Previously, Ripple’s defendants had contested the SEC’s request to seal their response to Daubert’s request to attend the hearing.
Ripple’s statements
Attorney Jeremy Hogan clarified Ripple’s previous response, implying that the SEC’s experts do not want the physical address to be disclosed. At the same time, “Ripple argues that only one document discloses the expert’s address and only one document should be sealed.”

However, the blockchain company and its allies promptly dismissed the SEC’s arguments. Ripple Labs and the SEC have been arguing for some time now with new filings popping up every day. It seems that even the judges are now fed up and eager to settle the case at this stage.
