Party leadership at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is expected to change on Jan. 20, but that won't change the regulotor's plans to move forward with its enforcement cases.
Ripple chief legal officer Stuart Alderoty tweeted on Jan. 14 that the SEC has refused to postpone the hearing on its appeal to a favorable sentence.
Despite the saber rattling from the SEC, investors in Ripple-linked XRP have been undeterred. The XRP price has been on a tear and surged to $2.99 (or above $3.00, according to Coinbase). The price has gained 15.8% since this time yesterday, according to CoinGecko data.
The regulator filed its appeal in mid-October 2024 after a July 2023 ruling partially favored Ripple by concluding that the company’s sales of XRP to retail investors on digital asset platforms did not violate U.S. securities laws.
But it's not been all smooth sailing for Ripple Labs the courts. In August 2024, a judge found Ripple liable for $125 million, declaring that the firm violated securities regulations while raising funds. The civil case was first filed at the end of 2020, under former SEC chairman Jay Clayton.
The federal judge presiding over Ripple Lab's case against the Securities and Exchange Commission has ruled that the XRP token "is not necessarily a security on its face"—except when it was sold to raise funds from institutions. Federal district judge Analisa Torres ruled that programmatic sales to public buyers and distributions of XRP to Ripple Labs employees did not constitute the sale of unregistered securities. The court did not address secondary market sales of XRP on cryptocurrency exchan...
Alderoty criticized the use of taxpayer dollars but expressed confidence in Ripple’s position. He voiced concern over a waste of resources since he believes that changes in SEC leadership coming with the Trump administration will nullify the legal battle anyway.
Ripple’s chief legal officer wrote that when the new administration takes hold on Jan. 20, the “war on crypto ends at the SEC.” He described the refusal to postpone the appeal hearing as “a waste of time and taxpayer dollars.”
Gensler, very much on brand - completely dismissive of the 2024 election and the American public - fully commits to his failed ‘regulation-by-enforcement agenda to the bitter, bitter end. #Sad https://t.co/1FEzB8d13o
— Brad Garlinghouse (@bgarlinghouse) January 14, 2025
CEO Brad Garlinghouse voiced a similar stance in a tweet of his own. He described the decision as “very much on brand” for the SEC’s current Chairman Gary Gensler. According to him, he is “completely dismissive of the 2024 election and the American public” and committed “to his failed ‘regulation-by-enforcement agenda.”
Ripple was proactive in changing the anti-crypto political climate. In 2024, it contributed $25 million to the Fairshake PAC for “pro-crypto” candidates three times.

After months of dramatic starts and stops, the U.S. Senate successfully passed the GENIUS Act Tuesday afternoon, a landmark bill that formally establishes a framework for issuing and trading stablecoins in the United States. Stablecoins are crypto tokens typically pegged to the U.S. dollar that allow users to enter and exit crypto positions without accessing dollars directly. For this reason, they are a key ramp between the crypto ecosystem and traditional financial markets. In recent months, A...
America's largest crypto exchange Coinbase hopes to soon offer trading services for tokenized equities, according to a Reuters interview with the firm's chief legal officer published Tuesday. Paul Grewal said that it was a "huge priority" for Coinbase to secure SEC approval to allow such assets to trade. In an X post afterwards, Grewal said that he was merely echoing a Coinbase position made public this spring. "We've been saying since earlier this year that [the SEC] should enable markets to...
Two of the world's largest crypto exchanges, Gemini and Coinbase, are set to receive licenses that would permit them to operate across the entire European Union. Reuters reports that Gemini, owned and co-founded by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, is on the verge of receiving an operational license from Malta, after the small Mediterranean nation granted licenses to rival exchanges OKX and Crypto.com in January this year. Meanwhile, Luxembourg is reportedly in the final stages of approving a licens...
