<p>The SEC has filed a motion for an interlocutory appeal against Judge Torres’s ruling, which stated that programmatic sales of XRP are not securities under the Howey Test. The securities regulator is also seeking a halt on further proceedings until the court resolves its concerns.</p> 
<p>Ripple’s chief legal officer, Stuart Alderoty, has clarified that the SEC is merely <a href="https://twitter.com/s_alderoty/status/1689400889046667264" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">requesting the court’s permission to file an appeal</a>, not actively appealing the decision on XRP as a security.</p>

<p>News of the latest development saw a slight dip in XRP price, falling 3% in the last 24 hours to trade at $0.60. However, the optimistic sentiment still prevails among crypto enthusiasts, who are eagerly watching the unfolding legal drama.</p>
