US District Judge Analisa Torres ruled that programmatic sales of XRP to retail investors via crypto exchanges did not violate securities laws.<\/p>\n<p>However, the judge also found that Ripple\u2019s direct sales of XRP to institutional investors \u2014 worth $728 million \u2014 did constitute unregistered securities sales, resulting in a <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/ripple-seeks-stay-on-125-million-sec-payout-signals-potential-appeal\/\">$125 million penalty<\/a> for the company.<\/p>\n<p>The SEC had originally sought a significantly higher $2 billion fine, but the lower-than-expected penalty was seen as a win for Ripple. Nevertheless, the case's unresolved status now returns to the forefront with the SEC's appeal.<\/p>\n<p>The news of the SEC's move sent XRP tumbling further in value, dropping around 9% over the past day to trade just above $0.54 as of press time, based on CryptoSlate data.<\/p>\n<h2>Ripple execs slam SEC<\/h2>\n<p>Garlinghouse said he was &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/bgarlinghouse\/status\/1841597085264839113\">frustrated<\/a>&#8221; with the agency's continued legal battle, accusing it of wasting taxpayer money on a case that has already been decided in Ripple's favor on key issues.\u00a0He argued that the SEC had &#8220;lost on everything that matters&#8221; under Chair <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/gary-gensler\/\">Gary Gensler<\/a> and reiterated that XRP's status as a non-security remains the law, regardless of the agency's appeal.<\/p>\n<p>Garlinghouse further criticized the SEC for its <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/ripple-exec-slams-secs-misguided-war-on-crypto-demands-accountability\/\">lack of accountability<\/a>, noting that the agency faces no consequences for continuing what he considers a losing battle. He emphasized that Ripple, the crypto industry, and the rule of law have already prevailed, and this appeal would not change that outcome<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Alderoty <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/s_alderoty\/status\/1841596012588114116\">echoed the sentiment<\/a> and reiterated that the court determined there were no &#8220;victims or losses&#8221; in the case. He stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Instead of faithfully applying the law, this agency, under this Chair, continues to engage in litigation warfare against the industry.
