The crypto lawyer questioned by Ripple had not appealed the ruling that qualified its XRP sales to On Demand Liquidity (ODL) customers as an investment contract.Morgan took to X (formerly Twitter) earlier today to share his take on the matter:<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/f49569f9ea114fb0ba828f3007561dc8.png" />Morgan cited a recent tweet by Ripple, which <a href="https://ripple.com/insights/on-demand-liquidity-for-corporate-enterprises-treasury-management/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">highlighted</a> the use cases of blockchain payment solutions for enterprises. Among those was Ripple’s On Demand Liquidity payment solution, which offered greater liquidity to clients along with efficient cross-border settlement by using XRP as a “neutral bridge for various fiat currency pillars.”According to Morgan, institutions that use Ripple’s ODL service to acquire XRP to use it as a bridge currency for commercial reasons did so without the expectation of profits from an increase in the token’s price. The crypto lawyer questioned why Ripple did not use this to appeal the court’s recent ruling which found that XRP sales to ODL clients was a securities offering.As per the Howey Test, which has historically been used by the SEC to determine if an asset qualifies as a security, there should be an expectation of profit while buying an asset for it to be considered an investment contract. It is one of the three prongs of the Howey Test and appears to not apply to the XRP sales to ODL clients.Read full article at <a href="https://cryptotale.org/crypto-lawyer-says-ripple-should-appeal-ruling-on-xrp-sales-to-odl-users/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CryptoTale.</a>
