<p>The legal battle between Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (<a href="https://crypto.news/tag/sec/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/tag/sec/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SEC</a>) intensifies, with the latest developments stemming from the regulator’s recent interlocutory appeal request.</p> 
<p>On July 13, Ripple achieved partial success in a summary decision. However, unsatisfied with the verdict, the SEC is now seeking an interlocutory appeal. This type of appeal challenges a court’s decision before the case’s conclusion.</p>
