However, Based on Ripple’s motion and knowing what other amicus will present, XRP lawyer believes that the SEC won’t be granted a judgment at all. However, there might a situation where Judge might ask a jury to decide the facts in the XRP lawsuit.

Defendants in the motion mentioned that the SEC’s narrative of the launch of XRP and XRP ledger is riddled with mistakes and omissions. The commission has no viable legal theory to support claims that the Ripple and defendants needed to register XRP as a security.

It highlighted that the SEC has failed to prove the fact that it is trying to present that defendants sold investment contracts. Meanwhile, the SEC hasn’t claimed that the purchase of XRP creates any rights for the buyer nor imposes any obligations on the seller.
