Ripple Ruling: Impact and Analysis” report scrutinizes the case’s verdict, highlighting its profound implications for the crypto industry’s future.


According to the report, Judge Analisa Torres’s ruling sets a vital precedent by distinguishing between an investment contract and the underlying asset.


The report examines Torres’s categorization of Ripple’s XRP (XRP) token distributions into three classes: institutional sales, programmatic sales and other distributions. She applied the Howey test to determine if these distributions constituted an offer and sale of investment contracts.Screenshot of the CDC report. Source: CDC Blog


The CDC expressed satisfaction with the ruling, which aligned with their amicus brief supporting Ripple. Perianne Boring, the CDC’s founder and CEO, underscored the ruling’s importance in establishing precedents for future legal encounters in the crypto industry.


Boring stressed the importance of a balanced playing field in the digital asset sector and the group’s commitment to advocating policies supporting U.S. leadership in the digital economy. While Judge Torres’ ruling was a step toward logical crypto regulations, the CDC firmly believes that definitive regulatory clarity can only come through effective legislation by Congress.

The CDC acknowledges the introduction of multiple blockchain and digital asset regulatory bills in the U.S. House and Senate; however, it expresses uncertainty about the enactment of these bills, primarily due to constraints posed by the legislative calendar.


Despite the challenges, the CDC continues to advocate for a comprehensive legal framework for digital assets, creating a conducive environment for digital asset product launches. In February, the CDC accused the SEC of overstepping its authority and unfairly labeling crypto assets as securities in its insider trading case against ex-Coinbase employees.
