What’s next for XRP price after federal judge rejects Ripple ruling 

The ruling that Judge Analisa Torres issued in the Ripple case, which found some sales of XRP to be non-security offers, has been called into question by a subsequent order from a judge in the United States District Court.

In recent news, District Judge Jed Rakoff of the SDNY dealt a huge blow to the decision that had previously been made in the XRP case. The judge’s verdict lets the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continue its case against Terraform Labs, and creator Do Kwon, strongly dismissing the difference between public and institutional sales that was established in the Ripple lawsuit.

Judge Rakoff’s decision on Terraform Labs’ request to dismiss the SEC’s complaint against them was disclosed by John Reed Stark, who had previously worked as an attorney for the SEC in the agency’s Enforcement Division.

It is important to keep in mind that attorneys for Terraform Labs and Do Kwon sought the court to throw out the SEC’s case. The attorneys supported their claim that the assets in issue do not fall within the SEC’s jurisdiction by referring to the verdict that was handed down in the case involving Ripple.

In response to this, the SEC voiced its opposition to the logic used by Judge Analisa Torres in the Ripple case and announced its intention to appeal the verdict. Judge Rakoff strongly disagreed with Judge Torres’s approach in the Ripple case and said as much in an open appeal to Torres’s decision.

Rakoff was critical of how the Ripple case differentiated between public and institutional sales. According to him, the Howey test does not take into account a buyer’s expectation of profit when purchasing coins; hence all buyers are treated equally.
