Ripple’s XRP Status Remains Untouched: Judge Dismisses SEC Motion

In a significant legal development, Judge Analisa Torres has rejected a joint motion filed by Ripple and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), effectively halting immediate changes to Ripple’s legal penalties. Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer confirmed that XRP continues to be classified as a non-security, despite the procedural setback. The judge’s decision, citing procedural impropriety, means Ripple must now present stronger arguments for any modifications to the court’s previous rulings and financial penalty.
