Elliott Stein, senior litigation analyst, believes that the recent court ruling could potentially help Coinbase, the largest US cryptocurrency exchange, in its own battle against the SEC.
The SEC took Coinbase to court last June, accusing the exchange giant of operating as an unregistered broker and clearing agency. Coinbase's motion to dismiss the lawsuit was rejected in June in a major blow to the exchange. As reported by U.Today, Ripple was ordered to shell out $125 million by the court. The ruling was framed as a victory for the company by the San Francisco-headquartered company since the SEC was initially asking for a whopping $2 billion worth of fines and penalties.
While the agency is highly unlikely to appeal the most recent court decision, it might still take issue with the controversial Torres ruling from 2023 that recognized secondary XRP sales as non-securities. Still, some believe that the SEC might be reluctant to stir the pot since the ruling has failed to gain significant traction.
