Ripple celebrates SEC’s dropped appeal, but crypto rules still not set

Ripple is celebrating the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) decision not to pursue a court case against the firm, but it provides little legal certainty for the crypto industry.  The US financial regulator has apparently dropped an appeal against Ripple, the issuing firm of crypto asset XRP. The industry saw the case as a prime example of regulatory overreach by the SEC under former chair Gary Gensler. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said the decision “provides a lot of certainty for RIpple” and that while the case is effectively over, there are still some loose ends the firm needs to tie up with the SEC source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/ripple-sec-appeal-crypto-law?utm_source=rss_feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_partner_inbound
