The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed an appeal against Ripple, challenging a court ruling regarding programmatic sales of XRP.
XRP's price has dropped to US$0.52, reflecting a 2.23% decrease over the past day and a 10.90% decline in the past week.
Attorney Jeremy Hogan criticizes the SEC's appeal, calling it a 'big mistake' and suggesting that it may only result in a larger financial settlement from Ripple without protecting investors.
Ripple could challenge the SEC's jurisdiction by raising the 'Blue Sky' law issue, potentially weakening the SEC's claim that XRP is a security under federal law.
