Debate Over XRP’s Security Status Continues Amid Ongoing Ripple Lawsuit
The classification of XRP as a security continues to stir debate within the crypto community, even after a clear ruling from the court.
In July 2023, Judge Analisa Torres stated that XRP is not a security when traded in secondary markets. Although the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is appealing some aspects of this ruling, it has not challenged XRP’s classification as an asset.
Recently, the SEC submitted its Form C in the Ripple lawsuit, which has led to some confusion among community members regarding XRP’s status. To clarify, Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, shared an analogy to illustrate his point.
He posted two images: one featured a ticket for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour at Hard Rock Stadium, while the other prominently stated, “XRP IS NOT A SECURITY.” In his comments, Alderoty emphasized that just as the secondary market for the Taylor Swift ticket doesn’t make it a security, the same logic applies to trading cryptocurrencies.
