The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is likely to appeal the historic 2023 judgment in the Ripple-XRP legal battle.
A former attorney at the SEC predicts that the agency will challenge certain aspects of the case, setting the stage for another lengthy legal fight.
The potential appeal would focus on the landmark ruling that declared XRP not a security when sold to retail investors, but still a security when sold to institutional investors.
Pro-XRP lawyers argue that an SEC appeal would be a waste of taxpayer money and unlikely to change the outcome.
