Court judgment: Ripple (XRP) is not a security according to US law

After a long wait and a nerve -wracking legal dispute, the Ripple vs. sec has finally come to an end. The US judge Analisa Torres today decided that Ripple (XRP) is not a security.

Already on December 22, 2020, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a lawsuit against Ripple Labs. The accusation was that the company had sold the XRP cryptocurrency worth $ 1.4 billion as non-registered securities. Ripple Labs, on the other hand, claimed that the XRP token could not be classified as security because it does not meet the requirements of the Howey test.

The legal dispute between the Sec and Ripple Labs developed into a medial exchange of blows and caused a sensation in the crypto scene. Because the judgment was considered trend -setting for the regulation of digital assets in the United States.

Now there is finally clarity: Ripple Labs has won the legal dispute. The court clearly ruled that XRP is not a security.

The consequences of the court ruling concern both the Sec and Ripple Labs. For the company, the victory means that XRP is no longer subject to SEC regulation. Ripple Labs can continue his business without additional regulatory requirements. This could have potentially positive effects on the price development of XRP. In addition, Ripple Labs may claim a claim for damages against the SEC to cover the costs of the legal dispute.

The judgment also has far -reaching consequences for the SEC. The regulatory authority could lose its ability to regulate cryptocurrencies as securities. This affects your role as a regulatory authority in the cryptocurrency market. In addition, the SEC could lose credibility and trust in other authorities and the public. It is possible that the SEC is now forced to rethink their regulatory standards and possibly make adjustments to the applicable regulations in order to avoid similar cases in the future.

The verdict not only affects Ripple Labs and the Sec, but also on the entire FinTech industry. Blockchain companies such as Ethereum can now also breathe a sigh of relief, since great uncertainty in the area of regulation has disappeared.
