Today marks one year since Judge Analisa Torres’ pivotal ruling that <a href="https://crypto.news/price/xrp/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">XRP</a> is not a security. The decision reshaped the landscape for Ripple and the broader cryptocurrency sector. 
Reflecting on this landmark anniversary, Ripple’s chief legal officer Stuart Alderoty shared his insights on the ruling’s impact and broader implications for the industry: “It was a watershed moment to find as a matter of law, a token – in this case, XRP – in and of itself, is not a security,” Alderoty wrote on X.

 Some reflections as we approach the one year anniversary of Judge Torres’ Summary Judgment decision in the SEC v Ripple lawsuit. First and foremost – it was a watershed moment to find as a matter of law, a token – in this case, XRP – in and of itself, is not a security. This… <a href="https://t.co/0gh0EYhFZO" target="_blank" rel="">https://t.co/0gh0EYhFZO</a>— Stuart Alderoty (@s_alderoty) <a href="https://twitter.com/s_alderoty/status/1811868845990126026?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="">July 12, 2024</a>

In the post, he emphasized that the ruling had provided a critical check on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) actions, especially under its chair, <a href="https://crypto.news/ripple-clo-stuart-alderoty-calls-secs-gensler-struggling-political-liability/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gary Gensler</a>.&nbsp; 
He also pointed to the recent developments with Binance as further evidence of the SEC’s overreach. However, the <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/xrp/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ripple</a> CLO cautioned that relying on court decisions for clarity on a token-by-token basis is unsustainable. 
He further claimed that policymakers were increasingly frustrated with the slow legislative progress, as the U.S. risks falling behind the global crypto innovation race. 
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse echoed Alderoty’s sentiments on social media, describing the events of July 13, 2023, as a significant victory for Ripple and the crypto industry.&nbsp; 
In his post, Garlinghouse reaffirmed Ripple’s commitment to defending the industry against what he described as the SEC’s unjust actions, underscoring the company’s belief in being on the right side of the law and history. 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> 
 We had the conviction to fight the bully that has harassed and executed an unlawful war on our industry. We knew we were on the right side of the law and that we would be on the right side of history. <cite>Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple CEO</cite>
</blockquote> 
The Ripple CEO also criticized the SEC’s continued aggressive stance against crypto, asserting that their strategy of lawsuits, false rhetoric, and intimidation had failed and would continue to fail.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-no-end-in-sight-in-sec-vs-xrp-battle-strong">No end in sight in SEC vs. XRP battle</h2> 
Ripple has been embroiled in a legal battle with the <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/sec/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SEC</a> for nearly four years. On Dec. 20, 2022, the regulator accused the crypto company of conducting an unregistered securities offering through the sale of XRP. 
And despite Ripple’s partial victory in 2023 declaring XRP is not a <a href="https://crypto.news/xrp-is-not-a-security-us-judge-rules/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">security</a>, the legal battle is far from over. The court is currently in what is known as a “remedies phase” in the case. It is here that it will determine potential penalties or injunctions against the crypto payments company. 
Nonetheless, the anniversary of the ruling could act as a catalyst for several developments. Renewed investor interest, increased pressure for a settlement, and new clues from the court could drive the case toward a resolution. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-xrp-price-goes-up-12-4-strong">XRP price goes up 12.4%</h2> 
In the 24 hours preceding the anniversary, the value of XRP surged 12.4%, breaking the critical $0.5 resistance level and leading the recovery of the broader altcoin market.

XRP’s price, which had fallen to a yearly low of $0.3984 earlier this month, has gained 19% over the past week. The current price of $0.5211 is also an 8.9% uptick over the last fortnight, as shown by data from CoinGecko. 
This price rally also coincided with the <a href="https://x.com/CMEGroup/status/1811490651508211949" target="_blank" rel="">announcement</a> by traditional futures giants CME and CF Benchmarks of new XRP indices and reference rates, a move that Ripple CEO Garlinghouse <a href="https://x.com/bgarlinghouse/status/1811493403160641820" target="_blank" rel="">believes</a> will drive institutional adoption of the cryptocurrency.
