SEC and Ripple Files Another Request to Reverse Securities Ruling

After being denied by US District Judge Analisa Torres last month, Ripple and the SEC filed another motion to finally end their landmark legal battle. The two parties are again trying to relitigate Ripple’s right to sell securities.

However, legal commentators called this effort a “rare whiff” from Ripple’s legal team and do not believe it will work. If the court denies again, the company may need to accept its ban on selling securities for the time being, at least to retail investors.

The SEC vs Ripple case, a landmark enforcement action of the Gensler era, has been dragging on for a while now. Despite the Commission dropping its suit in March, remaining loose ends have kept the two parties returning to court.

Today, they returned before Judge Torres, once again attempting to wrap up the last disputes.
