Ripple Addresses Misconceptions About Ruling

Ripple recently clarified six misconceptions about the recent ruling in the trial of Ripple v. SEC. The ruling declared that Ripple is not a security, making XRP and Bitcoin the only digital assets not considered securities in the US. Here are the key points addressed by Ripple:

The ruling by Judge Torres was not split. The court decision clearly stated that Ripple is not a security.
XRP is not a security. The court defined XRP as a digital token that is not an investment contract.
An investment contract is a specific type of security and must be analyzed on a transaction-by-transaction basis.
The court ruling does not only protect sophisticated institutions; it applies to all transactions where there are no securities involved.
Ripple has been conducting business mostly with companies outside the US since the SEC lawsuit in December 2020.
The court ruling did not favor Ripple’s fair notice defense, which claimed that the SEC did not provide sufficient warning about the classification of XRP as a security.

Ripple’s statement regarding the fair notice defense mentions that the SEC’s then-head of Corporate Finance ignored warnings about creating confusion with his analysis.
