Will Ripple Contest or Settle XRP Institutional Sales Matter?

Lawyer Bill Morgan earlier said XRP ODL sales matter is a big concern for Ripple and it will challenge the SEC’s thinking on ODL sales. The XRP community wants Ripple to contest institutional sales of XRP as Judge Torres ruled that these are securties.

With the judge ruling that XRP is not a security, both parties seek to progress with proceedings on institutional sales issue. Some believe Ripple is likely to settle with the SEC on institutional sales, with charges on Ripple’s executives dropped by the SEC.
