The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed an appeal in the ongoing case against Ripple, sparking discussions on the timing of the filing.

The SEC's appeal focuses on the sales of XRP conducted by Ripple on digital platforms, as well as the scrutiny of the role played by the company's executives in these sales.

Disagreements on Timing

Questions regarding the timeliness of the appeal filing have become a point of contention. Some commentators question whether the filing date or the time the documents were officially recorded should be considered. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse criticized the SEC for creating its own rules during this process.

The SEC is not appealing the previously imposed $125 million penalty, concentrating instead on the methods of XRP sales and the involvement of Ripple executives, indicating a broader approach to the issue. Former securities lawyer Marc Fagel stated that the SEC’s appeal is an expected move.

This case is being closely monitored in the world of digital assets. Legal regulations and companies' compliance with these regulations may influence similar cases in the future. The ongoing process between Ripple and the SEC is shedding light on the future of the digital asset market.
