- The SEC is seeking permission to file an interlocutory appeal challenging the landmark SEC vs. Ripple verdict.
- Attorney Jeremy Hogan insists the SEC was not appealing whether XRP was a security but its losses on the programmatic and individual sales issues.
- General Counsel at Ripple Stuart Alderoty has revealed that the exchange would respond shortly.
As speculated by numerous experts in the field, the U.S. SEC is planning to appeal Judge Analisa Torres’ verdict that the Ripple XRP token is not a security. The SEC’s statement, in part, reads: the SEC seeks to certify the Court’s holding that Defendants’ “Programmatic” offers and sales to XRP buyers over crypto asset trading platforms and Ripple’s “Other Distributions” in exchange for labor and services did not involve the offer or sale of securities.
Judge Torres’s ruling, which was revealed last month, temporarily put to rest the much-debated issue of XRP. In her statement, she claimed that XRP was a token and not a security. However, the SEC is now moving to file what is called an interlocutory appeal. An interlocutory appeal is an appeal of a non-final order issued during the course of litigation.
