“AND… the SEC continues making questionable selections, requesting an interlocutory attraction. Notice that it’s NOT interesting whether or not XRP itself is a safety – simply its losses on the programmatic and particular person gross sales points.”

All that the lawsuit is about is Ripple’s programmatic gross sales. The case has no impact on XRP that Ripple is just not promoting.”
He additionally believes that if the decide grants SEC’s attraction, Ripple will in flip attraction the problems it misplaced.
