SEC vs. Ripple: Appeal Filed, XRP Price Nears $0.55

SEC vs. Ripple: Appeal Filed, XRP Price Nears $0.55

  • The US SEC filed another appeal against Ripple as the asset closed at $0.55.
  • Ripple CLO believes that the court will either affirm Judge Torres or expand her ruling.
  • Alderoty compared the SEC appeal to Moby Dick meeting My Cousin Vinny with Gary Gensler as Captain Ahab.

The SEC has appealed the recent court decision in its case against Ripple. Ripple Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty expressed confidence that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit will uphold or even expand the original ruling, which largely favored Ripple. The ongoing legal battle, which began in 2020, centers on whether XRP is a security.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Alderoty suggested the SEC’s best option is to seek a remand, sending the case back to Judge Torres for further proceedings. He highlighted that a remand would allow Ripple to reintroduce its “Fair Notice” defense, which questions whether the SEC provided sufficient clarity on XRP’s regulatory status. Alderoty remarked:

“The SEC could end up arguing to Judge Torres that she wasn’t a person of ‘ordinary intelligence’ when she ruled against them. Awkward.”

Alderoty compared the case to Moby Dick, with SEC Chair Gary Gensler as Captain Ahab, chasing an elusive target. With the current appeal, he said it is more like, Moby Dick meets My Cousin Vinny.
