In the ongoing legal battle between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple Labs over the classification of XRP as a security, a potential hidden mistake in the ruling has come to light. It is clear that the XRP lawsuit verdict has opened up new possibilities in the United States, but there are still lingering questions.

XRP Ruling Reexamined: Will Judge Torres Revise the Decision?

It is clear that the XRP lawsuit verdict has opened up new possibilities in the United States, but there are still lingering questions. 

In July 2023, Judge Analisa Torres declared that Ripple’s XRP token sales were not illegal securities transactions, except when sold to institutional buyers. However, Southern District of New York Judge Jed Rakoff’s decision to allow the SEC to proceed with its lawsuit against Terraform Labs and founder Do Kwon has brought the ruling into question. 

This has led attorney Bill Morgan to raise concerns about Ripple’s on-demand liquidity (ODL) linked sales, which was previously highlighted by the company’s CTO, David Schwartz. Now, Judge Torres is set to review the controversial verdict, bringing new hope for clarification on XRP’s regulatory status in the United States.
