<p>The ongoing legal battle between Ripple Labs and the SEC continues to spark debate, particularly regarding whether secondary sales of<a href="https://cryptotale.org/xrp-price-surge-expected-rising-trendline-point-to-breakout/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> XRP</a> should be classified as securities. With the final appeal window now open for 60 days, discussions have reignited on this critical issue, especially following the SEC&#39;s recent Wells Notice against NFT marketplace Opensea, alleging that certain NFTs may qualify as securities.
