Ripple clarifies six misconceptions about the SEC lawsuit

Ripple clarified six misconceptions about the recent ruling. After it, XRP and Bitcoin are the only digital assets that aren’t considered securities in the US. On July 13, Judge Torres ruled in the trial of Ripple v. SEC, stating that Ripple is not a security. The first point that the company addressed in its Q2 report is that the decision issued by Judge Torres wasn’t split. The company said that it’s clear that the main point of the court decision was to understand if Ripple was or was not a security, and it has been clear that it’s not. The second misconception related to XRP being security in some settings but not others. The company said that XRP is not a security, explaining, as the court said, that “XRP, as a digital token, is not in and of itself… an investment contract.” You might also like: Bank of England releases new paper on Ripple use cases The third misconception was related to a share of stock always being tak...
