 <p>Recently, US SEC chair Gary Gensler evaded a question on the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Ripple" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/ripple.html">Ripple</a> lawsuit ruling citing the agency takes a collective decision with all the other commissioners. Interestingly, he repeated his warning to ‘investors’ about the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Crypto Market" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto-market.html">Crypto Market</a>, to which American businessman Mark Cuban took objection. He said,</p> 
 <blockquote> 
  <p>“(Gary Gensler) is in the habit of exclusively calling token holders investors. He knows that is incorrect, but it serves his purpose.”</p> 
 </blockquote>

 <p>Reacting to Gensler’s comment on the question of the SEC going for appeal, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="John Deaton" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/john-deaton.html">John Deaton</a>, the attorney representing token holders in the lawsuit, said the judge will have a cushion of the first two Howey tests satisfying the ruling that the programmatic sale of <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="XRP" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/xrp.html">XRP</a> tokens to retail traders is not a securities transaction.</p>

  <p>“If the SEC won on appeal regarding the 3rd factor, the case gets Remanded for Judge Torres to apply the other two factors, where she likely finds that those factors are lacking – giving us the same practical result we have today.”</p>
