In a significant setback for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in its quest to regulate the cryptocurrency market, a federal judge has rejected the SEC’s request to appeal her recent ruling involving Ripple Labs, the company behind the <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/xrp-liquidations-and-lagging-price-cast-doubt-on-overhyped-rally/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP token</a>.
District Judge Analisa Torres ruled that the SEC had not met the legal criteria necessary to justify an appeal. She stated that the SEC failed to demonstrate controlling legal questions or substantial grounds for differences of opinion. However, this decision is not a complete loss for the SEC, as Judge Torres has scheduled a trial for April 23, 2024, to address remaining issues related to the case.
In her earlier ruling in July, Judge Torres determined that the sale of Ripple’s XRP digital token on public exchanges complied with federal securities laws because purchasers did not have a reasonable <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/ripple-abandons-recently-announced-acquisition-plan-of-fortress-trust/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">expectation of profit</a> based on Ripple’s efforts.&nbsp;

The SEC had requested permission to appeal Judge Torres’ findings, but she determined that there were no significant disagreements concerning her conclusions. Additionally, she believed that pursuing the appeal would not expedite the case’s resolution.

However, Ripple’s growth shows no signs of slowing down. The blockchain company expands its presence in the Asia-Pacific region with the acquisition of a significant payments institution license in Singapore. This development comes just four months after the Monetary Authority of Singapore granted initial <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/ripple-obtains-in-principle-regulatory-approval-in-singapore/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">in-principle approval</a> in June.
With the acquisition of the <a href="https://twitter.com/Ripple/status/1709389270962647382" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">full license</a>, Ripple is now authorized to provide regulated cryptocurrency payment services in Singapore. Solidifying its position in the growing blockchain and crypto sector in the region.
