Rippleโs Case Against the SEC: Key Arguments
The SECโs handling of the Ripple case under Gensler has sparked ongoing debate. Rippleโs CTO David Schwartz recently criticized the SECโs use of the term โinvestment contract,โ arguing that it has muddied securities law. He emphasized that Ripple is accountable to its shareholdersโnot XRP holdersโchallenging the SECโs claim that XRP should be considered a security.
Many pro-XRP attorneys, including Bill Morgan, believe that Judge Torresโ earlier rulingโthat Rippleโs XRP sales donโt meet the โHowey testโ for securitiesโshould work in Rippleโs favor.
However, not everyone agrees. Former SEC attorney James Farrell suggests that dismissing the case entirely is unlikely due to the regulatorโs high stakes in this lawsuit. Farrell and others think a settlement is more likely than a full dismissal.
Could a New SEC Chair Change Everything?
The crypto community is watching closely as calls for Genslerโs resignation grow louder. The American Securities Association (ASA) has even joined the call for his departure, noting that SEC Chairs often step down when thereโs a change in U.S. administration.
This shift in leadership could potentially lead to more favorable policies for Ripple and other crypto companies, easing some of the current regulatory pressures.
XRP Market Rally Analysis
Amid all this anticipation, XRP, the eighth-largest cryptocurrency has surged by more than 15%, climbing to $0.67 as traders anticipate a rally to $1 if regulatory headwinds ease. XRP trading volume also soared over 160% in recent days, reflecting the communityโs optimism for a resolution.
Breaking out of its recent $0.487-$0.566 range, XRP has also surpassed the daily 50 and 200 moving averages, previously limiting its price. The current rally faces resistance at $0.70, with support expected around $0.60 and $0.579 if it pulls back. However, a push past $0.70 could prompt a test of the yearโs high at $0.74.
What’s Next?
As some experts suggest a potential โaltcoin seasonโ could soon boost prices further, XRP holders are eagerly awaiting the SECโs next move, with an important appeal filing scheduled for January 15, 2025.
XRP is a cryptocurrency created by Ripple Labs, designed for fast, low-cost cross-border payments. It operates on the XRP Ledger, allowing efficient transactions without the need for traditional intermediaries.
XRP could see significant growth if the Ripple vs. SEC case resolves favorably, with market optimism driving a 15% price surge. Regulatory clarity and leadership changes may further boost its value in the coming months.
As the clock ticks down, XRPโs fateโand perhaps the future of crypto regulationโhangs in the balance.
