In his most recent X post, Bill Morgan, an XRP litigator, disclosed the Form 6-K filing regarding its Delegated Digital-Asset Management Agreement with the SEC-registered investment adviser. Morgan observed,
Webus has filed its form 6-K with the SEC after signing the previous day a Delegated Digital-Asset Management Agreement with a delegated manager to establish a strategic framework for potential future digital asset treasury operations, which it asserts are focused on XRP management and an authorised mandate cap of up to $300M.
