SEC to appeal Ripple XRP decision

The SEC has filed a appeal request of the decision on XRP as part of the trial against Ripple. A judge ruled in July that token sales at retail investors did not violate federal laws.

Wednesday evening, the SEC announced its intention to appeal of the recent court decision on XRP and has filed a request to the court.

“The SEC seeks to certify the Court’s determination that offers and sales to XRP buyers on crypto-asset trading platforms and ‘other distributions’ of Ripple in exchange for labor and services did not involve the offer or sale of securities,” reads its letter to the judge in the case.

In July, Judge Analisa Torres ruled that XRP could not be considered as a security when the token was sold to the general public on a exchange. Only the institutional sales make the token a financial security, according to the ruling.
