Ripple's Legal Chief wrote a letter demanding clarity from the SEC regarding when a crypto asset becomes separate from its initial investment contract.
Ripple argues that XRP is not inherently a security, citing legal scholarship and a previous ruling by Judge Torres in 2023.
The letter criticizes the SEC's broad enforcement model and proposes a two-part framework to determine if a token is still linked to an investment contract.
Ripple calls for Congress to define new rules where needed, emphasizing the importance of creating a safe harbor for crypto innovators while respecting current securities law.
