Ethereum

Circuit

Fine

The Ripple XRP case has no latest filing, but it gained fresh perspectives after the U.S. SEC decided to close the <a href="https://coingape.com/eth-price-shoots-5-as-sec-ends-ethereum-investigation-whale-activity-jumps/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ethereum investigation</a>. XRP army waits for Judge Torres’ verdict on penalties and final judgment in the remedies phase, as well as, whether the SEC to appeal Judge Torres’ summary judgment determining that XRP in itself is not a security. 
Lawyers and former SEC officials anticipate the SEC may not file an appeal against Judge Torres’ summary judgment as it can make the SEC’s arguments weak in the Second Circuit Court.

The XRP lawsuit was back in buzz after the SEC moved to close the investigation into Ethereum, making an effort to send a letter to Consensys without any obligation to do so. 
The major development regarding <a href="https://coingape.com/tag/ripple-vs-sec-news" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SEC v. Ripple Labs</a> is a comment by former SEC Crypto Enforcement Chief Kristina Littman that the U.S. SEC may not appeal against Judge Torres’ decision on XRP. “The SEC might just let the Ripple opinion stay there as a District Court opinion and not risk elevating it to Circuit level.” 
Lawyer James Murphy, known as MetaLawMan, believes the tokens identified in the Coinbase lawsuit do not qualify as securities when traded on the secondary market. It has been proved in a judgment by the Second Circuit Court. 
He also said that “Judge Torres was right on XRP,” pointing to SEC may not appeal the summary judgment. Murphy added the SEC’s inconsistent treatment of digital assets is becoming evident, highlighting the SEC’s contradictory arguments in the Coinbase hearing compared to its stance on <a href="https://coingape.com/xrp-lawsuit-sec-ethereum-investigation-conclusion-bolsters-ripple-position/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ethereum</a>.

Ripple CLO <a href="https://coingape.com/ripple-clo-uncovers-key-grey-area-in-secs-u-turn-on-ethereum-probe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stuart Alderoty</a> pointed out significant shortcomings in the SEC’s recent decision. This decision raises questions about the SEC’s stance on Ethereum transactions and related services like MetaMask and staking. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"> 
 A big win for Consensys, though questions remain. Does this mean the SEC thinks Consensys’ offers and sales of ETH are not securities transactions and/or that ETH itself is not a security? What will Gensler say if now asked? What is the status of MetaMask and staking? 
 This is…

The SEC’s decision has raised concerns and skepticism, especially in the XRP community.
