Claim BonusSettlement Or Appeal? What’s Next In XRP Lawsuit?
XRP News: Ripple’s native crypto, XRP price is on a major upswing after receiving a partial clearance from the U.S. District Judge against U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

XRP Lawsuit Ruling To Be Challenged?
John Reed Stark, Former Chief of the SEC Office of Internet Enforcement shared his take on the summary judgment in the XRP lawsuit. He mentioned that the trial order in the XRP lawsuit is a partial summary judgment from a single district court judge and the decision is not a binding precedent on the other courts.
He highlighted that the judgment in the XRP lawsuit is likely to be appealed. The Unprecedented nature of the decision might face an interlocutory appeal. Stark suggested that the Second Circuit would likely act to hear the appeal.

As per the former SEC executive, the Ripple case conflicts with the SEC case against Telegram. In the Telegram case, the Judge linked the purchasers’ expectation of profits with the efforts of the Telegram team. However, this seems contradictory to the Ripple court’s analysis.
He pointed out the XRP lawsuit ruling has created a kind of confusion on multiple fonts. However, the US SEC is expected to appeal the Ripple decision to the 2nd circuit. Then the 2nd circuit court might overturn the district court’s ruling related to “programmatic” and “other sales.”
