Ripple Already Holds Advantage For XRP ETF Approval?
The company has already secured a court win in July 2023, with U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres in Manhattan ruling partially in its favor when it comes to the regulatory compliance of securities laws for the sale of XRP tokens to retail investors. The judgment pertaining to the institutional sale of tokens is still pending before the court. In yet another victory for the company, the US SEC had withdrawn the charges it made against company’s executives including chief executive officer Brad Garlinghouse.
With this judgment, the SEC already faces a legal precedent that shows XRP sales do not amount to investment contracts, paving way for approval of the spot ETF approval. In a recent development, the SEC asked the court to make Ripple provide certain information, like audited financial statements for 2022-2023, contracts for selling or transferring XRP to non-employee parties, and details on XRP sales money received after the lawsuit was filed in December 2020. In a response filed on January 19, Ripple disagreed with the SEC’s request for the documents.
