There has been a new turn in the just concluded XRP court victory. The latest report says that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is preparing to contest it. These most recent events have shocked the cryptocurrency community and may have repercussions for the future of XRP and the regulatory environment.

The idea to reveal SEC court victory was revealed during a separate lawsuit against Do Kwon, the co-founder of Terraform Labs, who is currently accused of perpetrating a multi-billion dollar cryptocurrency  asset securities scam. Because of the SEC’s involvement in this unconnected matter, important context and insight into the regulatory body’s perspective on digital assets are provided.

The SEC’s evaluation of its options and Chairman Gary Gensler’s recent statement expressing displeasure in the court’s decision have fueled the already heated legal dispute between the commission and Ripple. The commission has expressed worry over the position of XRP, asserting that it should be subject to its regulatory control as an unregistered security.

The SEC has challenged the United States District Judge Analisa Torres’ decision to side with Ripple and rule that XRP is not a security. One of the problems emphasized by the SEC is the alleged inadequacy of the court’s consideration of the XRP’s first distribution and its possible effects on its classification as a security.

The agency also argues that the continued inclusion of XRP in investment contracts should be sufficient justification for classifying it as a security. Responding to SEC’s motion filed on the 21st of July, SEC highlighted some perceived issues it has against Judge Analisa Torres’ ruling on XRP.

According to an official statement, “There are some potions of Ripple that were decided in error, and the court should prevent them from following them.” The commission also said its staff are working on different avenues to review and make further recommendations.

Reactions, Expectations Start Thrilling The Latest Development

The result of this court dispute will have a big impact on XRP and the larger cryptocurrency market. Comments from experts have started flooding in after the update was made public. Comments from Brenda Ngari, a cryptocurrency journalist with ZyCrypto, explained that if the SEC is successful in overturning the court’s ruling and designating XRP as a security.

Ripple may be exposed to additional scrutiny and possibly fines for failing to register the coin with the agency. However, such a decision might have regulatory ramifications for other cryptocurrencies whose distribution and use are comparable to XRP’s.

Ngari also added that it would be a significant accomplishment for the coin and the cryptocurrency community if Ripple’s court victory holds and XRP is not classified as a security. It would clarify XRP’s legal position and provide a precedent for other digital assets experiencing comparable regulatory difficulties.

Beyond the immediate effects on Ripple and XRP, the SEC’s ongoing efforts to control the cryptocurrency market may affect the whole sector. Meanwhile, market participants and blockchain investors are keeping a close eye on the proceedings and the SEC’s stance because it may affect how authorities in the future will handle other digital assets.

The proposed legal battle by SEC against XRP’s categorization as security has become more complicated due to the SEC’s latest decision. The cryptocurrency community now focuses on the courts in anticipation of the next development in this “most followed” legal saga.
