Better Markets, Inc., a nonprofit, files an amicus curiae brief supporting the SEC's appeal in the Ripple vs. SEC case.
Better Markets criticizes the district court's interpretation of the Howey test, arguing that it wrongly excluded XRP tokens sold through secondary markets from securities regulation.
The brief highlights the potential implications of the district court's decision, including the risk of widespread predation in the crypto securities market and the lack of investor protection.
Speculation arises about a potential resolution to the SEC's lawsuit against Ripple under the interim leadership of the acting SEC Chair, Mark Uyeda.
