<p>As the <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/ripple-vs-sec-ripple-to-file-response-on-secs-2bn-penalty-demand-today-on-april-22/">Ripple vs SEC</a> legal battle escalates, the <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/robert-f-kennedy-jr-plan-to-bring-u-s-budget-to-blockchain-in-2024-election-bid/">blockchain</a> payments firm has filed an opposition citing that <a href="https://markets.coinpedia.org/xrp/">XRP</a> sales on ODL do not count as investment contracts.</p> 
<p>Pro-XRP lawyer Bill Morgan has made a compelling argument regarding Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) sales. Moreover, he emphasized that these <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/analyst-spills-the-beans-on-ripple-odl-misconception-to-boost-xrp-price/">ODL sales do not constitute investment</a> contracts. Morgan’s assertion comes amidst Ripple Labs’ ongoing legal battle with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over the classification of XRP.</p>

<p>Bill Morgan asserts that ODL contracts do not meet the criteria for investment contracts, highlighting that transactions on the platform serve distinct purposes from traditional investments.&nbsp;</p>

   <p lang="en" dir="ltr">I have argued for three years that ODL contracts are not investment contracts and at last Ripple makes cogent arguments that ODL sales are not investment contracts as the ODL customers only hold XRP for a few seconds, not as investment, but to effect a cross border payment.

<p>Ripple contends that customers utilize XRP for swift cross-border payments, holding the digital asset for mere seconds, thus distinguishing ODL sales from conventional investment transactions. <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/ripple-vs-sec-lawsuit-tensions-rise-as-ripple-prepares-response-to-2-billion-penalty/">Furthermore, Ripple’s c</a>ontracts explicitly prohibit customers from expecting profit from XRP purchases. However, this argument strengthens Ripple’s position in challenging the SEC’s allegations.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-monica-long-testifies-for-ripple">Monica Long Testifies for Ripple</h2> 
<p>Furthermore, Monica Long, President of Ripple Labs, provided<a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/ripple-vs-sec-ripple-labs-challenges-secs-late-expert-submission/"> testimony supporting</a> the blockchain company. She emphasized that Ripple’s subsidiaries serve ODL customers exclusively outside the U.S.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Additionally, she clarified that Ripple itself does not engage directly with ODL customers. This testimony directly refutes the SEC’s claims regarding XRP’s ODL usage, underscoring Ripple’s position in the ongoing legal dispute.&nbsp;</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ripple-agree-to-pay-10m">Ripple Agree To Pay $10M</h2> 
<p><a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/ripple-made-court-filling-pubic-says-secs-2bn-penalty-demand-is-unconventional/">Recently Coinpedia reported</a> that Ripple has agreed to pay a maximum penalty of $10 million, it strongly opposes the SEC’s demands for disgorgement and prejudgment interest. CEO Brad Garlinghouse is optimistic about Ripple’s position, especially considering recent events involving SEC lawyers. He warns of serious consequences from the SEC’s policies and expresses confidence in Ripple’s legal stance.</p> 
<p>Ripple continues to defend itself against the SEC’s accusations regarding ODL sales, and the outcome of this legal clash will have significant repercussions. With legal arguments heating up and key Ripple figures standing firm, the final decision by Judge Torres holds great importance for both Ripple and the SEC.</p>
