最新报道:The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially dropped its appeal in the lawsuit against Ripple Labs over XRP sales, according to court filings. The SEC had initially challenged a July 2023 ruling by Judge Analisa Torres, which determined that Ripple's programmatic sales of XRP did not constitute securities offerings. However, the regulator voluntarily dismissed its appeal without prejudice, signaling a potential shift in its enforcement strategy. Ripple's Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty welcomed the move, calling it a "surrender" by the SEC. The dismissal comes as the SEC continues its broader case against Ripple regarding institutional sales of XRP, with a trial scheduled for April 2024. Legal experts suggest the SEC's decision may reflect concerns about setting unfavorable precedents in higher courts. The development is seen as a partial victory for Ripple, though the broader regulatory clarity for XRP remains pending.
