On July 13, Judge Torres ruled partially in favor of Ripple, declaring that retail sales of the XRP token did not meet the legal definition of a security. The court did find however, that Ripple had violated securities laws by selling XRP tokens directly to institutional investors.


Following the ruling, the SEC announced that it would be seeking an appeal of the decision, writing in a seperate lawsuit that certain portions of the case were "wrongly decided" and that it would be seeking further review.
