Ripple’s Game-Changing Revelation: Lawyer Unveils Emails Indicating XRP Is Not a Security – Ripple Labs Poised for Victory

• New discoveries have emerged that show that XRP is not a security.
• These revelations have a massive potential to shape the future of both Ripple Labs and XRP.

The drawn-out legal battle between blockchain payments company Ripple Labs Inc and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has taken a new turn following new revelations. Recent revelations suggest that Ripple Labs may be poised for victory in this legal battle. 

As showcased recently, lawyers reviewing emails from the SEC have discovered evidence that XRP is not a security, as such, this could exonerate Ripple Labs and strengthen the company’s case against the SEC. The information was excavated by John Deaton, a well-known legal commentator who gave references to the SEC emails in the footnotes of Ripple’s opposition and reply briefs.

🚨NEW: A really interesting find by @JohnEDeaton1 in the footnotes of @Ripple’s Opposition and Reply Briefs.

It shows references to internal @SECGov emails conceding reasonable grounds that #XRP does not satisfy all elements of the Howey Test and is therefore “not a security.” https://t.co/R2zwWqjOrk

Deaton also expressed his surprise, noting that he initially did not pay close attention to the details in the footnotes despite going through the pages of the legal documents related to the case.

Ripple’s Potential Win over SEC: Implications for XRP

Overall, Ripple’s game-changing revelation about XRP’s classification as a security and the lawyer’s review of emails indicating that it is not a security are significant developments in the ongoing legal battle between Ripple Labs and the SEC. If Ripple Labs is successful in proving that XRP is not a security, it could set a precedent that potential lawsuits involving other cryptocurrencies could follow.

Interestingly, this may lead to more regulatory clarity and less uncertainty for cryptocurrency companies and investors alike. Furthermore, it could potentially open the doors for XRP to be relisted on exchanges and regain some of its lost value. It will be interesting to see how this plays out and what the long-term implications will be for Ripple Labs, XRP, and the broader cryptocurrency market.

Ripple Labs and the SEC have been in court since December 2020 over whether or not XRP is a security. The SEC argued that XRP is a security and that Ripple Labs had conducted an unregistered securities offering when they sold XRP to investors. Meanwhile, this led to significant repercussions for Ripple Labs, including delistings of XRP from numerous exchanges and a significant drop in the digital assets value.

Recall that in March, Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty mentioned that he expects the case between the American blockchain payment firm and SEC to end very soon, and if Ripple wins, XRP price is likely to explode. Similarly, a top commentator in the community, Bill Morgan stated that Judge Torres has a more profound understanding of Ripple’s past and current business structure. 

Morgan believes that Ripple was more aligned with institutions and as well the sale of XRP in a programmatic manner, as such, he believes XRP cannot be considered a security

The Bigger Picture on Ripple Market Outlook

The Ripple future outlook is primarily pegged to the SEC case outcome. Moreover, the result will determine the future of the XRP market and other Decentralized Finance (DeFi) tokens likely to be classified as securities. Nevertheless, the company is building its payment ecosystem to encompass both financial institutions and central banks, particularly in stablecoin and Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDCs).

However the case chooses to end, Ripple can focus on its growth strategies while XRP can explore growth in the markets it can get it.
