Will XRP Lawsuit Settlement Revive Institutional Sales?

In a recent development, Ripple dropped its cross-appeal in the long-held XRP lawsuit. Despite this move, the fate of the injunction and Ripple’s institutional sales remain uncertain.

Reflecting on the matter, XRP lawyer Bill Morgan shared an X post. He shed light on the possible changes Ripple must make to its institutional sales approach. Rispoli stated that Ripple must change its sales approach even if the injunction is lifted.

Though the platform could resume its sales to institutional investors, an alternative strategy is needed to comply with Judge Analisa Torres’ ruling. The judge previously ruled that Ripple’s initial method of institutional sales constituted an investment contract.

Ripple’s Injunction and Institutional Sales

Following Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s revelation that the platform dropped its cross-appeal against the US SEC, attention turned to the potential lifting of the injunction. Reportedly, the SEC will petition the court to lift the injunction it previously obtained against Ripple in the XRP lawsuit.

In response to this major development, WrathofKahneman, a prominent voice on the X platform, drew the community’s attention to the SEC’s injunction. Rispoli stated that if the injunction is lifted, Ripple can reinstate its institutional sales. Adding more clarity to the statement, he noted,

So to clarify, as I understand it, there will be no more restrictions on Ripple’s institutional XRP sales. They still must conform to securities law but can now sell to say, hedge funds or private equity firms directly instead of to OTC desks first.

XRP Lawsuit Settlement Draws Community Attention

Significantly, the XRP community is overwhelmed by the Ripple lawsuit settlement. Despite speculations about a delayed resolution, the case is about to end. Amidst lingering uncertainty surrounding institutional sales, Bill Morgan and Fred Rispoli shed light on the implications of this development.

Rispoli shared a thought-provoking question: “But if a tree sells unregistered securities in a forest and no SEC is there to prosecute it, did the tree do anything illegal?”. His words spark an interesting discussion about the nature of legality and regulation in the context of securities law.
