Ripple Files Opposition to SEC’s Request for Appeal
Ripple Labs has filed a response to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) request for an appeal against Judge Torres’ ruling in favor of the company. Ripple argues that the SEC does not have the right to an appeal as the “exceptional circumstances” necessary for it are absent. The SEC had claimed that an appeal was necessary because it involved controlling questions of law and could impact its cases against Terraform, Coinbase, and Binance. However, Ripple contends that the summary judgment does not present a controlling question of law warranting an appeal. The company also argues that the appeal would not hasten the lawsuit’s resolution, as the SEC intends to continue its lawsuit regardless of the outcome.

Focus of the Appeal and Potential Impact
If the court approves the SEC’s request for an interlocutory appeal, the focus will be on Judge Torres’ ruling regarding Ripple’s programmatic sales and other distributions. This ruling could have significant implications for the crypto industry. If the SEC obtains a favorable ruling, it could strengthen its case against Coinbase and Binance, where it alleges that both exchanges offered securities. However, some experts believe that the SEC will lose upon appeal, as the court will review the evidence and determine that the SEC did not provide sufficient proof to support its arguments.

Ripple’s opposition to the SEC’s request for an appeal highlights the company’s confidence in Judge Torres’ ruling. By arguing that the appeal lacks exceptional circumstances and would not expedite the lawsuit’s resolution, Ripple is positioning itself to defend its position in court. The focus on the programmatic sales ruling and its potential impact on the crypto industry adds further significance to the case. While the outcome of the appeal remains uncertain, it will undoubtedly shape the future regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies.
