XRP Lawsuit: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple Labs with other defendants are waiting for the District court’s Summary Judgment in the Case which will eventually decide whether XRP is a security or not. John Deaton, XRP holder’s lawyer in the Ripple Vs US SEC lawsuit stated cases around the investment contract claim.
As per court filings, in its summary judgment motion’s preliminary statement, Ripple stated that the US SEC’s assertion brings in the interpretation of the term investment contract. The case theory suggests that if someone buys an asset expecting to make money, its interests and the sellers even partly align with it. Meanwhile, Ripple claims that it is not the law.
Expert suggests that Ripple states that the SEC’s case theory would involve the court accepting that there can be an investment contract without a contract, rights, and even obligations between the parties. However, the defendant states there have been no pre or post Howey cases without a contract/post sale contractual agreement with investors. Read More XRP News Here…
