Daily digest market movers: Ripple lawsuit ruling expected soon, developers issue XRP Ledger upgrade
- US financial regulator SEC alleges that Ripple sold unregistered securities (XRP token) to institutional investors. The firm is faced with fines to the tune of $2 billion. Judge Analisa Torres is expected to rule on this issue soon.
- XRP traders have their eyes peeled for the final ruling in the Ripple lawsuit for two reasons:
- XRP has legal clarity as a non-security in its secondary market transactions (trade on exchanges)
- If the SEC chooses to appeal the ruling it could influence XRP negatively
- Ripple has proposed $10 million in fines for the alleged securities law violations, while the SEC says even by the payment remittance firm’s logic (in its letter comparing the lawsuit to Terraform Labs’ case) the fines should be $102.6 million.
- Pro-crypto attorney Fred Rispoli predicts that the Ripple lawsuit could end this month.
- XRP continues to enjoy the spotlight, as talks of further altcoin ETFs, likely Solana, XRP do the rounds. Franklin Templeton recently tweeted about a Solana ETF. XRP proponents argue that it is likely XRP Ledger’s native token gets a spot ETF product of its own
