- In its proceedings against Ripple and Terrform Labs, the U.S. SEC claimed it was not challenging whether the underlying assets were inherently securities.
- The regulator claimed that the outcome of the Ripple case would have an impact on its other legal disputes, hence it was necessary to appeal.

In its lawsuit against Ripple and Terraform Labs, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) acknowledged that the underlying assets did not necessarily qualify as securities.
However, because it can have an impact on its other legal battles, it plans to appeal the judge’s decision in its case against Ripple, a cryptocurrency payment company.

The complaint states:
“The SEC did not argue here or in Terraform that the asset underlying those investment contracts were necessarily a security (and the SEC does not seek appellate review of any holding relating to the fact that the underlying assets here are nothing but computer code with no inherent value).”

From Elon Musk, Larry Fink(BlackRock) to Jamie Dimon(JP Morgan Chase) a number of billionaire owners have a powerful hold on so much of the hidden agendas’ which eludes the public concerning the paradigm shift juxtaposed by cryptocurrency and web3 emerging technologies.

Our journalistic efforts are produced to serve the public interest in crypto development and institutional disruptions – not profit motives.
And we avoid the trap that befalls much U.S. and global media – the tendency, born of a desire to please all sides, to engage in false equivalence in the name of neutrality and retail consumer protection.

When we report on issues like the FTX, Binance and Ripple crisis, we’re not afraid to name who or what is uncovered. And as a crypto sentinel, we’re able to provide a fresh, outsider perspective on the global monetary disruption – one so often missing from the insular American and European media bubble.
