Ripple Labs has filed a Form C cross-appeal challenging the SEC lawsuit in the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
The cross-appeal contests the classification of certain XRP transactions as securities and responds to the SEC's appeal questioning a favorable district court ruling for Ripple.
Ripple seeks a de novo review to determine if its transfers of XRP qualify as securities under the Howey test and aims to overturn the $125 million civil penalty.
The outcome of the cross-appeal could set a precedent for future cases and impact the SEC's crackdown on the cryptocurrency industry.
