It has been exactly 1 month since Judge Torres declared XRP IS NOT A SECURITY.
That’s the law of the land. Haters be damned.
Yes we deserve to enjoy this. And I do. Are you? 🤘🏻

One of the most eagerly awaited improvements & developments to the #XRPLedger's subsystem within rippled, the so-called "Payment Engine".

Dave as usual is 💯 in his analysis below. The Court would have to ignore the common enterprise factor of the Howey test. The SEC ignores this factor (see Footnote 10 of its 2019 Framework for Digital Assets), but the Supreme Court requires it. In order for the SEC to win against… https://t.co/aSHXt2Igtu

This is exactly what I was hoping for when I announced I would not be filing an amicus brief on behalf of token holders/customers. Because it solely involves an issue of law, I said there were others much better suited to speak on the matter. I was right!… https://t.co/izMVvmSoVk

We will win. And always remember who was the first group fighting SEC overreach! https://t.co/mmq6eAFYGk

I will never forget.
And the man who stood up to represent over 75,000 XRP holders, making this victory possible against the SEC, will always be etched in my memory.
Your efforts culminated in an epic win! https://t.co/p5AiAklCEI
Well said, Mark! I second it.

SEC v. Coinbase, Big Update:

Six Securities Law Scholars File Devastating Amicus Brief in Support of @Coinbase.
Law Professors from Yale, Univ. of Chicago, UCLA, Fordham, Boston University and Widener filed an amicus brief last night that Absolutely Shreds the SEC's…

That is huge. Doesn’t it cast some doubt on the correctness of this finding against Ripple in the Torres decision. If the six Securities Law scholars are correct it seems Torres J. got this wrong. https://t.co/lrFvoZ7KjN pic.twitter.com/oZWFswED2W
